More casting news has arrived for Witchula, another project dubbed “the Expendables of horror,” and we’ve got it for you right here! Read on to find out who the latest is to join the fray.
From the Press Release:
Witchula, which many are already referring to as the “real Expendables of horror,” has announced the addition of Kane Hodder to a cast that already features horror icons Bill Oberst, Jr., and Eileen Dietz as well as indie favorite Marilyn Ghigliotti.
Hodder is best known for his iconic roles of Jason Voorhees in the Friday the 13th franchise and as Victor Crowley in all three Hatchet films. He not only will act in the film in a role that producer Matt Chassin describes as “pivotal” but also has signed on as Stunt Coordinator. Producer John Blythe describes the move as “the next step in bringing huge iconic horror talent to Witchula.”
Witchula is a co-production of US-based MAB Studios and the UK’s Silent Studios and will be filmed internationally. The US scenes will be directed by writers/producers Marcus Bradford and Pat Kusnadi, while the UK scenes will bring on Silent Studios’ Jason Wright as special guest director under the direction of Bradford and Kusnadi. Wright says Hodder is not only a talented icon, but he “is such a nice and humble guy,” and “we’re all looking forward to working with him in the future.”
Witchula combines several sub-genres as the producers have promised to give the horror fans what they want. Witches, werewolves, vampires, and more will be featured.
Kusnadi sums it up by saying,” This is a thrill for us to have such great talents from iconic horror actors who portrayed iconic horror characters. This is what the worldwide horror fans deserve. They deserve the long-awaited film that can be proudly called the ‘real Expendables of horror.'”
Marcus Bradford goes even further, promising casting is not done: “More coming your way, horror fiends!!!”
Synopsis:
A group of college exchange students travel to a small and remote town situated on an exotic island, only to discover they are being hunted down by a powerful witch-vampire “hybrid” that seeks something in their possession.
