Deadline broke the news of Hayden‘s casting, noting that she will share the screen with Virginia Gardner, Grace Caroline Currey, Joey Bragg, Troy Gentile, Riel Downs and Page Kennedy. It is not yet clear what role she will play.

Here’s a synopsis of the plot: The movie “sees a pack of dogs escape during the making of a fictional The Breed 2 movie during filming on a remote island. Years later, a group of YouTubers are drawn to the island to try and find the canines in a project they hope goes viral and which is the brainchild of influencer Vince Venture, who is played by Bragg. The reality is that they face a fight for survival and each of the influencers must use their unique skills to stay alive.”

Before the movie, Hayden is returning to the silver screen with her new movie Amber Alert. We recently got a trailer for the chilling thriller, which arrives on September 27.

Earlier this year, Hayden revealed that filming one of her biggest projects was “traumatizing” for her.
