They All Lie, and Here’s Proof: Heather Morris IS Being Considered for ‘Buffy’
Back on December 12 the Hollywood Reporter was quick to publish a story debunking the possibilities of “Glee” star Heather Morris taking the reigns as the new Buffy the Vampire Slayer, adding Tweets by writer Whit Anderson and declaring a statement by Warners that “casting is not being discussed until the script is completed.” All lies! This has become typical protocol here in Hollywood, where we break a confirmed story only to look like complete assholes by the studios, writers, producers or stars. The fact of the matter is Morris is in fact in talks for the lead role: “They’re considering me! I found out and I almost peed my pants ’cause I was so excited!” she told Access Hollywood. Interesting stuff, considering how hard the studio and writer tried to convince us otherwise. Hopefully she’s not a moron and just responding to the Web gossip…
In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
