Bad Times at El Royale
Tony winner Cynthia Erivo has joined Drew Goddard’s upcoming contained thriller “Bad Times at the El Royale” at 20th Century Fox. Erivo will play a down-on-her-luck singer in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The thriller follows a cast of shady characters with dark agendas who collide at a run-down hotel near Lake Tahoe. Chris Hemsworth, Jeff Bridges and Cailee Spaeny also star in the story and filming begins in January.

Bad Times at the El Royale
Director: Drew Goddard (“The Cabin in the Woods,” TV’s “The Good Place”)
Cast: Chris Hemsworth, Jeff Bridges, Cailee Spaeny, Cynthia Erivo
Details: Forging his writing skills on “Buffy,” “Angel,” “Alias” and “Lost,” Drew Goddard has had a strong career in recent years with his work on both “The Martian” and “World War Z” yielding decidedly above average blockbusters, and more recently directing the opening episodes of one of the best series on television right now – “The Good Place”.

His first directorial effort with “Cabin in the Woods” has become a new cult favourite, and now he returns with his second time behind the camera in a retro crime thriller about a group of shady characters converging on and violently clashing in a dilapidated hotel in the Lake Tahoe region in the 1960s. Little is known beyond that, but with Goddard’s skills expect it to be at least solid and likely surprising.

‘El Royale’ is notable for being rushed out – the film only began shooting in January and was originally slated to open October 5th, but this morning Fox delayed the film a week and will now open it October 12th
