Dawn of Black Christmas

Michelle Trachtenberg, best known to fanboys as Buffy’s little sister Dawn from the latter years of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, is doing better career-wise than several of her old costars from that late show. The latest role the actress has signed on for is not likely to win her any awards, but does sound fairly high profile for her target demographic – she’ll be starring in a remake of Black Christmas, the horror slasher from 1974.

Dark Horizons has the news, via Production Weekly, that Trachtenberg will play the chief would-be victim in the tale of a sorority house that is terrorized by a madman during the Christmas holiday break. Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Katie Cassidy, and Oliver Hudson have also joined the cast, which Glen Morgan (Willard, The X-Files) is directing. Production is to start this month in Vancouver.

The original Bob Clark film starred Olivia Hussey, Keir Dullea, Margot Kidder, and John Saxon. They sure don’t make ’em like that anymore.
