Solid Hills 2 Casting

We know that everyone’s favorite mutant actor, Michael Bailey Smith, will be playing the role of Hades, the lead mutant in The Hills Have Eyes II, and today we just got word on who will be playing his mutant sidekick Chameleon: actor Derek Mears.

Mears also plays Satan in the upcoming Tenacious D movie The Pick of Destiny, which I have seen and can happily report rules! Our sources have also squashed the internet rumors about Ezra Buzzington or Michael Berryman appearing in the upcoming sequel, sorry guys. Since numerous sources reported that the two actors had said this themselves, I suppose it's possible they were in talks that eventually fell through.

Hills II starts filming in Morocco in September and has just set an official release date of March 2nd, 2007. Keep your eye on Fox Atomic's site for more info as we get closer to production!
