In the original story and movie, Gage, the youngest of the Creed family, has the distinctive honor of being hit by a truck and sending everyone's lives down an ever-spiraling vortex of loss, desperation, and insanity. He was played in the 1989 movie by Miko Hughes, of "he also played one of the kids in Kindergarten Cop" fame.
In the new iteration, Gage is the un-vehicular-manslaughtered of the two Creed siblings, leaving the messy work of being struck down in one's prime to his older sister, Ellie, the way any self respecting baby brother would. He spends most of the film as the classic "innocent kid in need of protection" trope necessary to any good piece of horror.
This time around, the part of Gage is actually being played by two actors, twin brothers Hugo and Lucas Lavoie. The Lavoie twins are fresh faces in Hollywood, and this movie marks the first professional credit for both of them.
