Ellen Page Signs On For ‘Drag Me to Hell’
Sam Raimi has directed a couple of horror movies in the past such as Evil Dead 1 and 2, The Gift and Army Of Darkness and now he is set to direct Drag Me to Hell. Raimi will be returning to the horror genre after spending the last few years directing a small trilogy known as Spiderman. Oscar nominated actress Ellen Page has joined to lead the cast, according to Variety. Ellen has recently stared in Juno and played Kitty Pryde (Shadowcat) in X-Men 3.
The film is described as ‘a morality tale about the unwitting recipient of a supernatural curse’, which I am guessing is Ellen Page. To see Ellen in a horror movie is going to be interesting. We know she can do comedy, drama and action but we haven’t seen that lovely face of hers shriek in fear, and who else better to do that with than Sam Raimi?
Filming will begin in Los Angeles in March.
Schreiber, Hall Join ‘Wolverine’
CHUD reports that Liev Schreiber (”The Sum of all Fears,” “The Manchurian Candidate”) will play Victor Creed – aka. Sabretooth – in the Gavin Hood-directed “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”.
Schreiber involvement was previously thought to be that of a young Stryker, the villain played by Brian Cox in “X2: X-Men United” who was responsible for Wolverine’s creation.
Instead “Six Feet Under” and “Dexter” star Michael C. Hall is in talks for the role of Stryker, whilst Michelle Monaghan is being sought for Silver Fox.
“Wolverine” tells the story of Wolverine’s epically violent and romantic past, his complex relationship with Victor Creed, and the ominous Weapon X program.
Along the way, Wolverine encounters many mutants, both familiar and new, including surprise appearances by several legends of the X-Men universe. The film opens next May.
