Penn Badgley says role in The Stepfather is "New Territory"
What you normally see around this time of year (and this year is no different) are the psychological thrillers, the slasher films, the horror movies & everything else that goes along with the Halloween season. One of this weekends movies falls right into one of those categories (psychological thriller) and Penn Badgley is starring in it.

In a recent interview, the star who normally stars in romantic comedies and other movies that typically appeal to a certain “demographic” of people, he mentions how this role is kind of a “new territory” for him. Here is an excerpt from the interview:
“Film is where I’ve wanted to be for years and film is where the people working for me, behind me, have always imagined I would end up, so it was a very natural progression,” Badgley said. “It was definitely exciting and definitely new territory, but I definitely took it in stride.”

Even though this movie falls outside the typical roles you might see Penn in, that doesn’t mean you should throw this movie to the wayside thinking it won’t be any good. Seeing as this is relatively new for him, he probably is going to make sure he absolutely nailed the role.
