Axeman 2: Overkill Gearing Up to Start ChoppingJoston Theney dropped us a line with the complete casting news for the sequel to his flick Axeman, which hit DVD a few weeks back. Read on for the latest details regarding Axeman 2: Overkill.

From the Press Release
Blood Red Films and the filmmakers of AXEMAN 2: OVERKILL, the next installment in the 80’s throwback slasher franchise, are pleased to announce the cast of the film, which picks up the story where the original 2014 film AXEMAN left off.

This new chapter in the Axeman at Cutter’s Creek saga has the goal of being darker, grittier, and bloodier than the original.

The exciting cast of the film, which is written and directed by Joston “El Rey” Theney, includes an all new actor in the iconic villain role of Bill “The Axeman” Talbert. Playing the titular character is former three-time World Champion, WWE’s “Adam Bomb”/ WCW’s “Wrath,” also known as Bryan Clark (pictured). Well aware of the new direction in which executive producer Christopher Otiko and the team at Blood Red Films were looking to take the franchise, Theney knew Clark was perfect for the role. He describes the 6’6” behemoth as having “the most menacing 40-yard stare” he’s even seen. “Just like me, he’s a warm, good ol’ boy from the South, but he has an uncanny ability to flip the switch and become this massive, imposing, and terrifying figure,” Theney went on to say.

Farrah Abraham of former “Teen Mom” fame has been cast as Fannie Rae Baker, a Bible-thumping Evangelical Christian on her way with her husband and friends to the Crimson Cross’ Christian Couple Camp when The Axeman shows up to separate – and dismember – them. Abraham describes Fannie as, “an Uber Bible Thumper – getting a little radical about the Bible and taking the words farther than the way God intended.”

Rounding out the cast of crazed Christians are Allen Merritt (The Dark Knight Rises) as Fannie Rae’s hick husband, Jim Ed Baker; Arielle Hader as Fannie Rae’s best friend, Irma Jean Manly; and Edward Gusts as David Manly.

Angelica Bridges (“Baywatch,” “The Bold and The Beautiful”) has been cast as the money-hungry mercenary Dungie. “Big Brother” reality show winner Rachel Reilly joins the cast as the tough as nails, double-crossing Breaker.

Arielle Brachfeld reprises her role as reluctant hero Deputy Darlene Whitfield as well as Joston “El Rey” Theney in his surviving role of the affable, death-defying Darren Cole. Rounding out the cast as of this release are Monique Parent (The Profane Exhibit), Jacqui Holland (My Best Friend’s Girl), Maria Olsen (Paranormal Activity 7), Alisha Seaton (The Fourth Kind), Whitney Nielsen (Children of Sorrow), Hanna Landberg (Rabid Love), Michael Foster, Sasha Higgins, Linda Wong, and Craig Partamian.

The film is a collaboration between Christopher Otiko’s Blood Red Fims and Joston “El Rey” Theney’s #SinningWorks. Theney writes, directs, and produces the film while Otiko co-writes and executive produces. AXEMAN 2: OVERKILL will receive a theatrical release in 2015; release date and locations TBA.
