First Look at Thomas Jane and Kara Hayward as Vampire ‘Slayers’!
Thomas Jane (Deep Blue Sea, The Mist, The Predator) and Kara Hayward become vampire Slayers in the first pic from the horror-comedy, which has already been sold to The Avenue for US distribution, reports ScreenDaily. Highland Film Group is selling globally at next month’s virtual AFM.
“Jane plays Elliot Jones, a man who has made it his life’s mission to search for the vampire who murdered his teenage daughter. He finally gets his shot at revenge when he hears that The Stream Team, a group of social media superstars including party girl Jules (Abigail Breslin; Signs, Zombieland, Zombieland: Double Tap) and Gen-Z pro-gamer Flynn (Hayward), have got a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet reclusive billionaire Beverly Rektor (Malin Akerman; Watchmen, Final Girls, Rampage) at her vacation compound.
“When the group discovers Rektor has not planned an evening of fun and descends from a long line of vicious blood-suckers, they must fight for their lives inside her house of horrors. Can Jones save the day?”
Lydia Hearst (The Haunting of Sharon Tate) rounds out the key cast on the completed film from K. Asher Levin based on a screenplay by Levin and Zack Imbrogno.
The Avenue is Highland Film Group’s domestic distribution arm and is targeting a 2022 release.
Ryan Gosling (Project Hail Mary) has made no secret of the fact that he’d love to play Ghost Rider in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, and it’s now officially happening.
Announced by Marvel out of San Diego Comic-Con tonight, Ryan Gosling will play the iconic Marvel character in a Ghost Rider movie being directed by Shawn Levy!
Expect Ryan Gosling to play Ghost Rider on the big screen in 2028.
Johnny Blaze is of course the most iconic and well-known Ghost Rider, selling his soul to Satan and becoming a supernatural badass. Nicolas Cage brought Blaze to life on screen in both 2007’s Ghost Rider and 2011’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, while Gabriel Luna more recently played the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider in the series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Luna was set to star in his own Ghost Rider spinoff series in the wake of that small screen appearance, but that Hulu project ended up being squashed before it ever had a chance.
Fans have been waiting for Ghost Rider to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for many years now, with Ryan Gosling making it clear that he’d love to bring the character back to life.
That Hollywood dream is coming true. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
