Eli Roth horror Thanksgiving adds Addison Rae and more

February 25, 2023 by EJ Moreno

Eli Roth’s Thanksgiving has gained a host of new bodies to add to the kill count, including one of TikTok’s biggest stars.

Variety broke the news that the social media star Addison Rae has joined the slasher movie Thanksgiving, making her horror film debut after appearing in the Netflix rom-com He’s All That. The influencer-turned-actress has more than 88.9 million followers on TikTok and has also been named its highest earner, per Forbes.

The Hollywood Reporter also added that Jalen Thomas Brooks and Nell Verlaque join Rae; Brooks is best known for his recurring work on CW’s Walker, and Verlaque was a series regular on the Disney+ series Big Shot. Brooks and Verlaque are reportedly set for starring roles. Already in the cast is Patrick Dempsey, who will star as the detective.

Rae took to her social media platform to confirm the news; check out the post below…

The film follows a killer who visits a small town in Massachusetts with the hopes of creating a carving board out of the town’s turkey-loving inhabitants. Eli Roth will helm the film, based on his fake trailer in Quentin Tarantino-Robert Rodriguez’s Grindhouse.
