Actor Tries Again to Rebound Film Career

As a fan, I’m thrilled to share that Ke Huy Quan, who has been making waves since his stunning comeback with the award-winning performance in Everything Everywhere All At Once, appears to have another intriguing project on the horizon. According to an exclusive scoop from Deadline, his next big role will be in a horror movie titled Bad Boy. This film, much like Quan’s career trajectory, promises to offer a fresh take on familiar genre tropes, offering an unconventional perspective. Here’s a brief summary of the plot:

In “Bad Boy”, we follow the storyline commonly found in horror movies, but from an unusual angle.

Gary is a well-loved dog by his new caretaker, Cameron (Ke Huy Quan). He enjoys rewards and affection, living quite contentedly. However, he’s forbidden from entering the basement. Even if he could, Gary doesn’t have the ability to open doors. Unbeknownst to him, he is the sole hope for a girl (Lili Reinhart) who is confined in the basement.

Media company Black Bear Pictures, known for its involvement in producing and co-financing horror films like “Longlegs” and “The Monkey,” has been entrusted with the international distribution rights for the upcoming horror movie titled “Bad Boy.” This film is expected to distinguish itself among recent horror productions due to an unusual focus: a canine character takes center stage in the narrative. Preliminary information suggests that actor Huy Quan may be portraying the film’s villain, marking a significant shift from his recent acting roles.

‘Bad Boy’ Puts Ke Huy Quan and Lili Reinhart In Exciting New Roles

Actress Lili Reinhart, famously portraying Betty Cooper in the television show Riverdale on the CW, will star opposite Ke Huy Quan in an upcoming film called Bad Boy. The central character of this movie is a dog named Gary, who has yet to be cast but the production team is looking for a Terrier breed. Jacob Chase, known for directing horror films like Come Play and The Girl In The Woods, will helm the project. According to Chase, the film’s themes revolve around roles that Huy Quan and Reinhart are taking on, which are not typically associated with them.

I have a strong affection for dogs, even more than people. It’s frustrating when they get killed off early in horror films! Dogs are not just pets; they’re our most loyal companions, and it’s high time we had a horror movie where the dog is the hero instead. Our upcoming film, Bad Boy, explores themes of loyalty, instinct, and the extraordinary bond between humans and dogs. It will be a unique, realistic, and intensely suspenseful take on a horror thriller. I’m excited to work with Ke and Lili on roles that are unlike anything they’ve played before.

In a surprising turn for Huy Quan’s acting career, he will portray an antihero in the upcoming film “Love Hurts,” as confirmed by the actor himself during an interview. Moreover, in the upcoming film “Bad Boy,” Huy Quan will delve into a more ominous and villainous character, that of a serial killer. However, his character’s sinister nature might not be apparent to his canine co-star in the movie.
