‘Alice’ Offered Role in ‘Pride and Prejudice and Zombies’
Before we get to our casting news, Deadline is reporting that David Slade (30 Days of Night), Mike Newell (Prince of Persia) and Doomsday‘s Neil Marshall are all in the mix to direct Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Lionsgate’s feature film adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith’s novel that flips Jane Austen’s story on its head and tells the story of Elizabeth Bennet and her four sisters becoming zombie slayers and taught how to fight like Japanese ninjas by Mr Darcy. Some news Bloody Disgusting can exclusively add is that offers were made to both Bradley Cooper (Case 39, The Dark Fields, Hangover) and Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland), with strong interest Tilda Swinton ( Adaptation, Constantine). We’re working on confirming and will get back to you shortly.
Daniel Roebuck has been cast as Santa Claus in Terrifier 3, Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report.
Writer-director Damien Leone is currently wrapping production on the highly-anticipated sequel, in which Art the Clown unleashes chaos on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they peacefully drift off to sleep on Christmas Eve.
“I’ve been holding this secret for a long time!” Roebuck tells Bloody Disgusting. “I’ve been really excited about it. I’m actually entering into the movies that I watch. It’s extraordinary. This is Terrifier bigger, badder, best.”
Roebuck appears in Terrifier 3 alongside returning cast members David Howard Thornton, Lauren LaVera, Samantha Scaffidi, Elliot Fullam, and AEW superstar Chris Jericho.
No stranger to iconic horror properties, Roebuck has squared off against Michael Myers in Rob Zombie’s Halloween II, played The Count in Zombie’s The Munsters, succumbed to The Tall Man’s sphere in Phantasm: Ravager, and investigated death in Final Destination.
A distinguished character actor with over 250 credits, Roebuck has also appeared in The Devil’s Rejects, 3 from Hell, Bubba Ho-Tep, John Dies at the End, The Fugitive, Lost, Agent Cody Banks, and The Man in the High Castle. Incidentally, he’s also playing Santa in the family drama Saint Nick of Bethlehem, due out later this year.
Terrifier 3 will be released in theaters nationwide later this year via Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting in conjunction with our partner on Terrifier 2, Iconic Events Releasing.
