NEW YORK -- "Jumper" star Max Thierot will replace Henry Lee Hopper as the lead in Wes Craven's tentatively titled horror thriller "25/8" for Rogue Pictures.
There were no creative differences between Craven and Dennis Hopper's son, who was set to make his screen debut as one of seven teens haunted by a killer who supposedly died when they were born. The 17-year-old actor contracted an illness common to fellow teens: mononucleosis.
"Wes said he was thinking about pushing the film back but couldn't because of the possible actors strike," said Hopper, who left the project a week ago and will enjoy time with his friends in California during their last summer home before college.
Newcomers Nick Lashaway, John Magaro and Paulina Olszynski have also joined the cast, and Raul Esparza is in talks to play the film's serial killer.
Lashaway will play a bully, Magaro will play Thierot's comic sidekick, and Olszynski will play a popular beauty among the small-town characters. Denzel Whitaker, Shareeka Epps and Emily Meade round out the cast. Principal photography is set to begin this month in Connecticut.
Thierot, whose profile is expected to rise considerably with this summer's "Kit Kittredge: An American Girl," is repped by Gersh.

Craven to direct '25/8' for Rogue
By MICHAEL FLEMING
(the below has been altered)
Rogue Pictures has made deals that put the Focus Features genre arm in business with two horror icons.
Rogue has greenlit "25/8," a thriller that will be directed by Wes Craven and marks the first original horror script he has written since 1994 pic "Wes Craven's New Nightmare."
Rogue starts production in April on "25/8," which will be produced by Iya Labunka and Anthony Katagas. Craven said the film unveils a signature villain, a serial killer who turns up 15 years after his purported death, to kill the seven children born on that fateful night.
"It's more a thriller than slasher film, and revolves around a young kid with a very dark past involving his family and his father," Craven told Daily Variety.
Craven pitched his idea for the project to Rogue co-prexy Andrew Rona when Craven separately formed Midnight Pictures, a shingle that will make Craven-produced fright films for Rogue. The first will be a remake of Craven's 1972 directorial debut, "The Last House on the Left," which begins production in South Africa in April. Also producing "The Last House on the Left" with Craven are Sean Cunningham and Marianne Maddalena.
One remake Craven isn't involved in is New Line's plans to reinvent his "Nightmare on Elm Street" franchise with Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes banner.
"My baby has fallen into the hands of others, and what can I say but wish them luck," Craven said.
