Whannell is best known as the writer of SAW and Insidious; he also co-starred in both films. Phillips, meanwhile, had a long run on Friday Night Lights as Billy Riggins.
In June, we revealed Lisa Summerscales and Dean Cates will take on starring roles in Ritual.
Written and directed by Mickey Keating, the film finds the two playing a husband and wife who have a dead occult member on their hands. With the clock ticking, they attempt to figure out what to do with the body before the rest of his pals show up.
Eric B. Fleischman and Chelsea Peters are producing. For more, be sure to visit the film’s official Facebook and Twitter pages.
