John Cho, Ethan Suplee Join YA Horror 'Bad Influence' as Filming Wraps

Director Jason Perlman's YA horror film 'Bad Influence' has completed filming with a newly expanded ensemble cast. Joining previously announced leads Xochitl Gomez, Madeleine McGraw, and Jack Champion are John Cho, known for 'Harold & Kumar' and 'Star Trek', Ethan Suplee of 'My Name Is Earl' and 'Twisted Metal', Danny Jolles, Arnas Fedaravičius, and others. The film, described as a YA horror, centers on a group of teens whose lives are upended by a mysterious social media influencer with sinister motives. The addition of recognizable names like Cho and Suplee brings cross-generational appeal, potentially drawing both younger audiences and older viewers familiar with their earlier work. With filming wrapped, 'Bad Influence' moves into post-production, and the cast's completion signals momentum for the project as it eyes distribution. The blend of rising young stars and established actors positions the film to stand out in the crowded horror genre, promising a fresh take on influencer culture and its dangers.
