Black Christmas production info
Now Playing spoke to actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who stars in next
week’s FINAL DESTINATION 3 (pictured) and is just beginning work on another Glen
Morgan/James Wong collaboration, Dimension’s remake of BLACK CHRISTMAS. The
update of Bob Clark’s 1974 cult classic, in which a sorority is terrorized by
sadistic phone calls by a psychopath who begins killing the girls, is lensing in
Vancouver. Wong, who wrote and produced with Morgan, who’s directing, tells the
site, “There’s stuff that’s much darker [particularly as it pertains] to the
killer,” and Winstead elaborates:
“It’s interesting, because it’s sort of both a prequel and a sequel,” she says.
“The first chunk of the film follows the childhood and backstory of Billy, who’s
the crazed killer. And then it picks up with the girls in the sorority house in
the present day, and Billy comes back for a visit. Then there are a lot of
twists and disturbing turns, and things that you wouldn’t expect.
“I start filming on Monday,” Winstead continues. “I’ve already been up there
doing rehearsals, and have gotten to know all the girls.” Her co-stars include
BUFFY’s Michelle Trachtenberg, WHEN A STRANGER CALLS’ Katie Cassidy and Oliver
(THE BREED) Hudson. Watch for more on CHRISTMAS, which will presumably open for
the holiday season 2006, on this site soon.
