Abigail Breslin and Thomas Jane Starring In ‘Slayers’, a Vampire Film That Bites Into Internet Influencers
Abigail Breslin (Signs, Zombieland, Zombieland: Double Tap) and Thomas Jane (pictured below; Deep Blue Sea, The Mist, The Predator) join previously announced Malin Akerman (Watchmen, Final Girls, Rampage) for the cast of comedy-horror feature Slayers, previously known as With Teeth, writes Deadline.
“The film follows a group of internet influencers who are drawn to a reclusive, seductive billionaire’s mansion (Akerman), only to find themselves trapped in the lair of an evil vampire. The only way out is to be saved by a famous online gamer (Kara Hayward) and an old school vampire hunter (Jane).”
Sounding a bit Buffy-esque, the site adds that Breslin will play the role of Jules, a smart-mouthed fitness guru who faces off against the vampires.
Lydia Hearst (The Haunting of Sharon Tate) and Jack Donnelly (“Atlantis”) also star.
K. Asher Levin is directing and producing. Breslin will be an on-set producer, working closely with Levin, Daniel Cummings and Zack Imbrogno.
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.
