Before the official creative team and cast for New Mutants had been set, the film had already built up a bit of a reputation for itself in the comic book movie fan community, for its strange tonal combination.
That only looks to be continued with New Mutants‘ “full-fledged horror movie” style, and its ensemble of predominantly young cast members.
Director Josh Boone and several of the film’s main cast members celebrate the end of filming on New Mutants this weekend.
But with an initial pitch that set the movie up as being done in the style of “Stephen King meets John Hughes,” the film has assembled an extremely impressive young cast for itself.
