Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions have picked up ‘The Final Girls’, a long forgotten horror-comedy project that’s been sitting about kicking its heels for nigh on 3 years. Now as the project moves into pre-production a couple of hotties have been given the task of filling two of the main roles. They are namely Malin Akerman -below (‘Watchmen’, ‘Rock of Ages’) and Taissa Farmiga (‘American Horror Story’). The premise of the movie will find a teenage girl and her friends getting sucked into the ’80s slasher film that her mother starred in. Director Todd Strauss-Schulson (‘A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas’) is set to helm for the production that will kick off in Louisiana this April. He’ll be directing from a script by writing duo Mark Fortin and Josh Miller.
