[TV] Sexy “American Horror Story” Alumna Joins Witches “Coven”
“American Horror Story” is welcoming back another one of its original stars, this time one that seduced viewers back in 2011.
Actress Alexandra Breckenridge has joined the A-list cast of the witchy-themed “American Horror Story: Coven,” co-creator Ryan Murphy announced Friday via Twitter, and first reported by THR.
Breckenridge was a regular part of the freshman season of the FX anthology, playing young Moira opposite Frances Conroy. The latter actress also recently booked a return for “Coven.”
While little is known about “Coven,” producers said at PaleyFest in March that the series would again search for haunted places in America. Murphy previously told the site that the next installment would feature three characters playing real people, with co-star Kathy Bates being one of them.
Breckenridge joins a rapidly growing cast of all-stars including Denis O’Hare, Emma Roberts, Angela Bassett, Patti LuPone, Gabourey Sidibe, Bates and returning players Jessica Lange, Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson, Taissa Farmiga, Frances Conroy and Lily Rabe.
“Coven” premieres this October.
Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
