Check Out Angus Scrimm’s Final Performance in ‘Dances with Werewolves’ Trailer
It’s been well documented that 2016 was a year that claimed the lives of many true icons of the entertainment business, and here in the horror world, one of those huge blows was the death of the iconic Angus Scrimm. Best known for playing the Tall Man in the Phantasm franchise, Scrimm passed away at the age of 89 last January, but he leaves behind one more movie.
Much like last year’s Phantasm: Ravager, the upcoming film Dances with Werewolves is unfortunately being released posthumously, and it’s home to Angus Scrimm’s final performance. Courtesy of The Phantasm Archives, we’ve learned that Scrimm plays a vagrant named Neumann in the film, which will screen on January 27th at Santa Fe’s Jean Cocteau Cinema.
The cast also includes Aqueela Zoll, Tatiana DeKhytar, Omar Paz Trujillo, Lauren Parkinson, Jim Tavare, and Jane Park Smith.
Check out the trailer below.
In Dances with Werewolves, directed by Donald F. Glut and Dan Golden…
Cassie flees an abusive relationship and falls victim to a moon-worshiping 600 year old Romanian Countess; a troubled paranormal investigator of Native American heritage finds himself in a deadly love triangle with a battered-woman werewolf.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
