Casket Girls
ScreenDaily reports Mike Colter and Gabrielle Union are attached to star in Casket Girls, a “supernatural horror thriller” from director Justin G. Dyck at Aura Entertainment. Co-starring Raúl Castillo, Matt Frewer, and Thomas Lennon, the story follows a detective and her partner investigating the supernatural encounter of a child. The pair then “get trapped inside a centuries-old New Orleans church when they accidentally unleash vampires.”
The Legend of Zelda
Patricia Summersett, Nintendo’s official voice of Princess Zelda since 2017, “couldn’t answer” when asked by Variety if she has a role in the upcoming movie.
I couldn’t answer that one way or another. Of course, I’m a walking NDA, sort of on the nomad land of the world. I mean, I love it when they do that for voice actors for sure and I hope that becomes a thing that is always implemented in the future as all the technologies sort of meld and video games want to be more like film and film wants to be more video games. That acknowledgment is lovely, but I couldn’t say one way or another.
