Natalia Dyer and Elijah Wood are set to join original cast members Samuel L. Jackson and John Cusack, who are currently negotiating the terms of their return, in a sequel to the 2007 supernatural horror film 1408, according to a report on Variety.
Back in 2025, Cusack told People that “I was lucky that I never had the desire, or no one asked me to do any sequels. There’s one that I think would be interesting to do, which would be 1408. Just because … I think today, you know, most movies suck.”
Directed by Mikael Hafstrom, 1408 starred John Cusack, Samuel L. Jackson, Mary McCormack, and Tony Shalhoub. Released on June 22, 2007, the film earned $133 million on a budget of $25 million.
The story is, of course, based on Stephen King’s 1999 short story of the same name, 1408 follows author Michael Enslin, played by Cusack, who, as part of his new book on haunted hotels, investigates legends of mysterious and violent deaths behind door 1408 at the Dolphin Hotel in New York City.
