Danielle Harris Lands Starring Role in ‘Hatchet 2’!
Bloody Disgusting has learned that beautiful scream queen Danielle Harris (Halloween, Stake Land) has officially been cast as the new “Marybeth” in Adam Green’s Hatchet 2, which begins lensing early next year. “She’s the new Marybeth,” Green tells Bloody Disgusting. “Everything that this movie is trying to be is to get better…case in point is that it brings fans what they want and is going to make ‘Hatchet 2’ even better. [There’s] a new[ly designed] Victor Crowley and the whole cast is f*cking amazing! To have another icon as a leading role is enormous.” The sequel follows Harris as Marybeth as she escapes from the clutches of Victor Crowley, learns the truth about his curse, and heads back into the haunted New Orleans swamp to seek revenge for her family and kill Crowley once and for all… Read on for a bit more from Green about Victor Crowley’s new look.
“Make-up tests on Kane [Hodder] begin in about 10 days,” Green says about the new Victory Crowley. “It’s definitely modified, but looks the same just much more realistic and less rubber suit looking. It’s a much more complicated appliance job. He’s down for it though.”
Hodder is an expert when it comes to make-up appliance as he’s taken on the role of Jason Voorhees in four Friday the 13th films.
Starring alongside Kane Hodder and Danielle Harris are Tony Todd, R.A. Mihailoff and John Carl Buechler.

Described as “Ted meets ET,” David Mikalson’s raunchy comedy Goblin is being brought to life over at A24, and Will Forte (“The Four Seasons”) is now in talks to star.
Deadline first reported the news this afternoon.
Kenneth Branagh has been cast to voice the titular Goblin in the upcoming A24 movie, with the character said to be “green-colored” as well as “anatomically correct.”
Skyler Gisondo (Superman) is reportedly playing the Goblin’s human best friend.
The mysterious project sounds a bit like films including A Gnome Named Gnorm and more recently, Frankie Freako, though it’s important to note that it’s not billed as a horror movie.
Deadline details, “After [Mikalson] hatched the idea to make an outrageous buddy comedy about a goblin, using a practical puppet and operating outside the Hollywood system, his script quickly got him a rep team. While others might have eyed the raunchy comedy as a writing sample or planned to wait to see the micro-budget version Mikalson has been directing in Kentucky, A24 jumped all over it. The hot indie essentially has agreed to finance a full feature.”
“There was a lot of interest, but A24 came with what Mikalson really wanted, after spending all his money crafting the puppet title character: they acquired the movie and agreed to let him make it with a significantly increased budget than what he had left after creating the anatomically correct title character,” Deadline’s report goes on to explain.
What does the titular Goblin actually look like? Well, a cake that Mikalson had whipped up for his reps might give us our first look at what to expect. Deadline explains the photo you’ll see down below, “Take a look at the cake he commissioned with Marc Gravelle at Cake Art in West Hollywood, to present to his reps as thanks for making his dream come true.”
