‘Stranger Things’ Star Finn Wolfhard Is Writing and Directing ‘Hell of a Summer’

Stranger Things star Finn Wolfhard is writing and directing his first feature film.

Wolfhard, 19, is teaming up with his When You Finish Saving The World co-star Billy Bryk for upcoming horror comedy Hell of a Summer. The duo will write and direct the movie together, while they will also star in it alongside The White Lotus actor Fred Hechinger.

“I am so excited to be co-directing my first feature film,” Wolfhard says. “I get the chance to work with an incredible cast and crew, and to work with a company like 30West and Aggregate is a real dream.”

The movie will be produced by Hechinger alongside Aggregate Films’ Jason Bateman and Michael Costigan, and Parts and Labor’s Jay Van Hoy, while 30West is fully financing and executive producing.

A release date for Hell of a Summer has yet to be announced. But we’ll keep you posted as more details on the upcoming film surface! In the meantime, fans can catch Wolfhard later this year as the lead in Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio for Netflix.
