Zombieland's Abigail Breslin Ready to Tackle Darker Roles
March 17th, 2010
Well, this is refreshing. A young actress who actually claims to want to appear in horror movies. Abigail Breslin, welcome to the family!
In a recent interview published by Reuters, Breslin says she's "ready for much darker roles." Serious horror films, to be precise. Or, suggests Breslin, perhaps a meaty role such as Lady Jane Grey, who as a teenager ruled England for a brief period before being beheaded.
She continues, "I am obsessed with horror movies [and] would love to do a 'Scream'-type movie."
Assuming she returns to the undead subgenre for Zombieland 2, here's hoping the 13-year-old Breslin (seen below in a scene from the original with co-star Emma Stone) is able to convince the powers-that-be to infuse a bit more of that "darkness" she's ready for into the sequel.

After All These Years ... Mike Marvin Talks The WraithA dynamic if occasionally confusing confectionary of Clint Eastwood, David Lynch, John Hughes and George Miller, The Wraith remains one of the definitive guilty pleasures of 80’s sci-fi horror and a perennial favorite for those nostalgia nights in the company of a few select friends, a six-pack of beers and a bag of chips. In spite of its dated synth/soft rock score, awkward dialogue, bewildering concepts and – for the most part – unsympathetic teenage ciphers, it does retain a sleek brio and self-confidence that continue to hold the attention.
Nice. Breslin is a very good actress and I'm very open to seeing her do more adult stuff. Her crossover should be very interesting.
