TV: Major Casting News for ‘True Blood’ and ‘Walking Dead’

TV Line has two casting scoops from some of the hottest horror on TV. First up, the first official new face to join AMC’s second season of “The Walking Dead”. Pruitt Taylor Vince (Constantine, NBK, Drive Angry 3D, Identity) has landed the recurring role of “Otis,” a foreman at Hershel’s Farm, where much of the Season 2 action is set to take place. Vince’s character is described as good-natured and polite, this despite the rather harrowing (read: near-deadly) circumstances under which he first meets Rick, Lori et al.

In other cabler news, Scott Foley is joining the cast of HBO’s “True Blood” in a major recurring role that will kick off in the Season 4 finale and, assuming the show gets renewed, continue into Season 5. He will tackle the role of “Patrick,” a tough and ruggedly attractive old army buddy of Terry’s (Todd Lowe) who pays him a visit. “True Blood” begins this Sunday, June 26.

Take your seats. The show is about to begin. Warner Bros. brings us some new marketing for M. Night Shyamalan’s Trap this morning, including a new poster and an original song.

Saleka Shyamalan stars in the upcoming thriller as fictional pop star Lady Raven, and today brings us a first-listen preview of the song “Release” by Saleka as Lady Raven.

Give it a listen right here and find the new official poster for Trap down below.

M. Night Shyamalan’s new thriller for Warner Bros. – the sixteenth movie in his Oscar-nominated career thus far – is headed to movie theaters nationwide on August 9, 2024.

In the upcoming thriller starring Josh Hartnett, “A father and teen daughter attend a pop concert, where they realize they’re at the center of a dark and sinister event.”

As the official trailer for Trap reveals, the pop concert is actually an elaborate trap designed to catch The Butcher, a sadistic serial killer who has been evading authorities.

Hartnett had recently described the mysterious film as “very bizarre” and “very dark.”

According to IMDb, the cast for Trap also includes Hayley Mills, Marnie McPhail, Vanessa Smythe, Saleka Shyamalan, Scott Ian MacDougall, Kristi Woods, and Cali Lorella.

Trap is the first film Shyamalan has made under his new deal with Warner Bros., which has been described as a “multi-year first-look directing and producing agreement.”
