Glen Morgan (Willard, Final Destination 1 & 3) is directing from a script he cowrote with his writing partner Glen Morgan. The film is set to star Mary Winstead (Final Destination 3), Michelle Trachtenberg (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Katie Cassidy (When a Stranger Calls) and Oliver Hudson (The Out-of-Towners). The original Black Christmas was released in 1974 and was a Canadian production filmed in the Toronto area by Director Bob Clark (A Christmas Story, Porky's). It's considered one of the original slasher flicks and follows the events at a sorority house over Christmas break. The Co-eds (Trachtenberg, Winstead, Cassidy) are terrorized by an obscene phone caller (Hudson) with a bloody agenda. The original film starred Olivia Hussey and Canadian actress Margot Kidder as the Co-eds and Keir Dullea as the strange caller. The film is set to shoot January 30th thru March 24th at The Bridge Studios in Burnaby a suburb of Vancouver. Source: HNR In: Vancouver & BC News |Visit the HNR Forums
