YOUNG ACTORS IN SEED & WAX
Focus Features has just announced that Hannah Spearritt, former singer in the British pop group S Club 7, has joined the cast of Don Mancinis SEED OF CHUCKY. The actress, currently on view as Frankie Munizs love interest in AGENT CODY BANKS: DESTINATION LONDON, plays Joan, a young woman trying to break into the movie business by working as a personal assistant to actress Jennifer Tilly (playing herself). But for Joan, Hollywood becomes more cutthroat than usual when Tilly gets involved in a movie about the murderous exploits of living dolls Chucky and Tiffany, and the real things come to call.
In a joint statement, Focus David Linde and James Schamus say, ‘In the clever and outrageous new scenario that Don has cooked up, Hannah will be the lone beacon of sanity as Chucky and his familyand the equally creepy Hollywood phoniesrun amok.’ Spearritt joins Tilly (who also voices Tiffany), Brad Dourif as Chucky, Billy Boyd as their peaceable offspring Glen and hip-hop star Redman as a rapper-turned-filmmaker in SEED, which is currently rolling in Romania.
Meanwhile, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Jared Padalecki is close to signing on to join the cast of HOUSE OF WAX, the Dark Castle/Warner Bros. in-name-only remake that rolls in May in Australia. Padalecki, who had the title role in the YOUNG MacGYVER TV series, will play the love interest of the character played by Elisha Cuthbert, co-starring alongside Chad Michael Murray and Paris Hilton.
