TV: Denis O’Hare Talks Bizarre ‘American Horror Story’

Published

on

From a high school musical to an “American Horror Story,” “Glee” creator Ryan Murphy doesn’t play it safe. Murphy and production partner Brad Falchuk are set to film a pilot for a horror TV series called “American Horror Story,” starring “True Blood”‘s Denis O’Hare and “Friday Night Light”‘s Connie Britton.

Speaking from the Supernova Pop Culture Expo in Brisbane, Australia, O’Hare told Bloody Disgusting he was excited to shoot the pilot in May and was attracted to the “very gripping script.

Story inside.

Ryan (Murphy) sought me ought and we had a lovely conversation, he gave me the script and I read it,” he said.

I thought it was very intriguing and very scary, so I said ‘absolutely’.

The title is appropriate – American Horror Story– take from that what you will.

Set for a debut on FX, Murphy and Falchuk are also working with fellow Glee executive producer Dante Di Loreto who was behind the Golden Globe-winning TV movie Temple Grandin. Horror TV shows are few and far between, but O’Hare said he thinks an American Horror Story can succeed with its “intelligent story” and “atmosphere“.

It’s not just about scariness, it’s also about the psychology behind it,” he said.

It’s hard to classify.

People are attracted to the supernatural. People are attracted to the idea of all things haunted. People are attracted to the idea of what happens to people who see really bad things happen to them.

It’s like watching a car crash; people like the macabre.

They like the dark side of life; they’re attracted to it.

Although he didn’t reveal any details about his character, O’Hare said horror buffs concerned the show will be more candy than carnage have nothing to worry about.

I think it’s a very edgy script and that’s exciting; it’s not safe.

The Final Destination franchise is returning to life with Final Destination: Bloodlines. With filming now underway, THR reports that three actors have joined the lead cast, including “Chucky” actor Teo Briones.

Brec Bassinger (“Stargirl”) and Kaitlyn Santa Juana (The Friendship Game) join Teo Briones, who played Junior Wheeler in season two of “Chucky,” as the leads in the sixth installment of the horror franchise.

Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein (Freaks) are directing the fresh installment that also includes Richard Harmon (“The 100”, Grave Encounters 2), Anna Lore, Owen Patrick Joyner, Max Lloyd-Jones (The Book Of Boba Fett), Rya Kihlstedt (Obi Wan Kenobi), and Tinpo Lee (The Manor) among the cast.

Production is now underway in Vancouver.

What can we expect from the upcoming Final Destination 6? Speaking with Collider, franchise creator Jeffrey Reddick offered up an intriguing (and mysterious) tease last year.

“This film dives into the film in such a unique way that it attacks it from a different angle so you don’t feel like, ‘Oh, there’s an amazing setup and then there’s gonna be one wrinkle that can potentially save you all that you have to kind of make a moral choice about or do to solve it.’ There’s an expansion of the universe that – I’m being so careful,” Reddick teased.

Reddick continued, “It kind of unearths a whole deep layer to the story that kind of, yes, makes it really, really interesting.”

Final Destination: Bloodlines is written by Lori Evans Taylor (“Wicked Wicked Games”) and Guy Busick (Scream), with Jon Watts (Spider-Man: No Way Home) producing.

Producers on the new movie for New Line Cinema also include Dianne McGunigle (Cop Car) as well as Final Destination producers Craig Perry and Sheila Hanahan Taylor.

This will be the sixth installment in the hit franchise, and the first in over ten years. Each film centers on “Death” hunting down young friends who survive a mass casualty event.

The latest entry is expected in 2025, coinciding with the original film’s 25th anniversary.
