Popsugar Entertainment Bad Times At The El Royale Bad Times at the El Royale Cast Whoever Cast Bad Times at the El Royale Deserves All of the Awards 26 September 2018 by Corinne Sullivan Image Source: 20th Century Studios If you love 2012's The Cabin in the Woods — as well as insanely stacked casts — then chances are you're also going to love writer and director Drew Goddard's forthcoming movie, Bad Times at the El Royale. This stylish mystery-thriller follows seven strangers with their own dark secrets who meet one night at the seedy El Royale, and just from the trailer alone, we know this is going to be a good one. If the premise doesn't do it for you, then maybe this cast — combining Hollywood legends, A-listers, and up-and-comers — will. Check out who will be checking in to the El Royale when the movie hits cinemas on Oct. 12.
