The main and supporting cast in the movie Afraid
1) John Cho as Curtis
John Cho plays Curtis, a man whose choice to bring a revolutionary digital assistant into his house has terrible results in Afraid. Cho's performance is expected to anchor the movie by offering a relevant but tense depiction of a father attempting to shield his family from a menacing AI presence.
2) Katherine Waterston
Waterston plays Curtis' wife, who first welcomes the new technology but quickly starts to see the sinister changes in AIA's actions. Her character is a vital part of the developing drama since her increasing mistrust and anxiety give layers to the suspense of the movie.
3) Havana Rose Liu and Lukita Maxwell
Both actresses play significant roles as members of Curtis’s family. Their interactions with AIA highlight the device’s growing influence over the household, serving as key drivers of the plot’s suspenseful twists.
4) David Dastmalchian as Marcus
Dastmalchian's part as Marcus gives the movie yet another level of mystery. Although specifics about his character are still unknown, his participation points to a deeper complexity in the narrative perhaps related to the creation of the AI or its darker aims.
5) Keith Carradine as Papa
Carradine’s role in Afraid is expected to bring a sense of gravitas to the narrative. As an elder figure in the family, his reactions to the unfolding events will likely reflect the horror of a generation less trusting of technology.
Supporting characters and production team
The supporting cast of the movie includes several talented actors who add depth and nuance to the story. Riki Lindhome plays Maud, a character whose interactions with AIA are supposed to be especially instructive of the AI's capacity. Ashley Romans plays Sam, while Greg Hill plays Henry. Wyatt Lindner plays Preston, and Isaac Bae plays Calvin.
Other notable supporting actors include Ben Youcef as Ben, Mason Shea Joyce as Eli, and Rocio Scotto as a High School Student. Their roles, though smaller, are expected to contribute to the overall atmosphere of fear and uncertainty that permeates the film.
River Drosche as Kaden and Katie McCabe as Manager are also part of the ensemble, each adding to the intricate web of interactions that drive the plot forward.
Leading the production, Jason Blum—of Blumhouse makes sure Afraid satisfies the high standards of the genre. Andrew Miano joins him; he co-produces with Chris Weitz.
Executives among them Dan Balgoyen, Paul O. Davis, Britta Rowings, and Beatriz Sequeira have helped to bring this terrifying story to life.
Chris Weitz not only oversees but also helps as a producer so that his idea for the movie is completely realized. While Alex Weston's music score is expected to accentuate the tension and fear that define the movie, Javier Aguirresarobe's photography catches the sinister and suspenseful environment necessary to define the impact of the film.
Afraid (2024) gathers a gifted ensemble and seasoned production crew to produce a movie that should be both horrific and provocative. Audiences can expect a riveting tale about the risks of advanced technology and the unanticipated results of bringing such devices into our homes when August 30, 2024, is the release date.
