Another horror favorite has signed up for active screamy duty on Jose Pendres’ new flick, The Divine Tragedies! So who’s next on the docket? Read on for the details, and look for additional goodies on this one soon!
From the Press Release
Writer/director Jose Prendes (THE HAUNTING OF WHALEY HOUSE) and producers Jon and James Kondelik are excited to announce the casting of the eternally beautiful Barbara Crampton (YOU’RE NEXT, RE-ANIMATOR), who joins her FROM BEYOND co-star Ken Foree, in their new film THE DIVINE TRAGEDIES.
“Very excited to take part in Jose Prendes’ complex and disturbing film, The Divine Tragedies, deeply exploring the nature of relationships and the influence they provide while carving out our places in the world,” says Barbara. “I am excited to play the mother of two brothers whose torturous tendencies exact horrific carnage to people they claim to both admire and love. Being reunited with one of my favorite co-stars, horror luminary Ken Foree, is an added delight!”
DIVINE TRAGEDIES, based loosely on the famous Leopold and Loeb murder case, tells the tale of Charles Brubaker (Graham Denman, The Haunting of Whaley House) and his half-brother Thomas Lo Bianco (Jon Kondelik, Airplane vs. Volcano), who were raised by their arthritis-twisted, alcoholic Mother (Barbara Crampton). The boys concoct a deadly game to test their superior intelligence against the dimwitted masses. This game will eventually lead to murder, and when Genevieve, a beautiful single mother, enters their lives, they finally find the perfect girl for their first kill. But problems arise when they quickly discover that Detective Homer Gaul (Ken Foree), a cop with a very special gift, is hot on their trail.
“Barbara is an actress that I have admired for years, and I am beyond thrilled to have her on this film,” says Jose. “She glows with life and is really going to surprise people with her performance in this one. Not only does she love the material and respect it, which is the best compliment an actor can give, but she has raised the bar for us dramatically.”
Filming begins at the end of February.
