Saw star Lyriq Bent joins Pay the Ghost, starring Nicolas Cage

Last Updated on July 22, 2021

Last month we learned that Veronica Ferres had joined the Nicolas Cage-starring supernatural thriller PAY THE GHOST, and now The Wrap is reporting that SAW franchise star Lyriq Bent has been added to the cast as well.

Cage will play a hard-working NYU English professor bucking for tenure when his 8-year-old son mysteriously vanishes from a Halloween day parade while Bent will take on the role of Detective Reynolds in the film. Outside of that, however, we don't know much about this one. It's expected to see a release sometime next year.

Uli Edel (BODY OF EVIDENCE) is directing the supernatural thriller from a script by Dan Kay, based on a short story by horror and fantasy author Tim Lebbon. Nicolas Chartier, Craig Flores, Ian Levy and Patrick Newall are producing and Cybill Lui and Dennis Berardi are exec producers.
