In director Patrick Lussier’s remake of the 1981 horror film, Ackles will play Tom, a handsome, principled man who returns to his home in Harmony, Mo., 10 years after 22 people were murdered on Valentine’s night.

Zane Smith wrote the screenplay.
Jack Murray, John Dunning and Andre Link will executive produce. Executive producers for Lionsgate are Mike Paseornek and John Sacchi.
Production begins May 12 for a release on January 23, 2009.
