First look at Black Christmas
Cameras are rolling in Vancouver on an update of the 1974 horror movie Black
Christmas – and canada.com has your first look at the female cast.
Writers/directors James Wong and Glen Morgan are shooting the new version of Bob
Clark’s cult classic with hot young stars like Michelle Trachtenberg and Lacey
Chabert. Andrea Martin, who appeared in the original, also stars in the feature.
It is due in theatres this holiday season.
Black Christmas is the story of a sorority house terrorized by a mysterious
caller who kills girls off one by one during the Christmas break.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead, currently seen in Final Destination 3, insisted it is
not necessarily a remake.
“It's interesting, because it's sort of both a prequel and a sequel [to the
original],” she said in an interview. “The first chunk of the film follows the
childhood and back story of Billy, who's the crazed killer. And then it picks up
with the girls in the sorority house in 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.”
In addition to Martin, the original Black Christmas starred Margot Kidder and
Olivia Hussey. The cast of the new version includes Katie Cassidy (daughter of
‘70s heartthrob David Cassidy) and Oliver Hudson (son of Goldie Hawn and brother
of Kate Hudson).
