A trio of British stars have joined the cast of of ‘Piranha 3D’ and ‘High Tension’ helmer Alexandre Aja’s new supernatural thriller ‘Horns’. ‘Harry Potter’ hero Daniel Radcliffe (‘The Woman in Black’) is already on board the tale based on the novel by author Joe Hill and will play Ig Perrish who unexpectedly awakes one morning with a set of horns protruding from his head. Teh sexy Juno Temple (below), who recently starred alongside Anne Hathaway in ‘The Dark Knight Rises’, has joined the cast to play the role of Perrish’s girlfriend Merrin. Fellow Brit actors Max Minghella (‘The Social Network’) and Joe Anderson (‘The Crazies’) have also joined the cast along with gorgeous ‘Pan Am’ star Kelli Garner.
“Ignatius Perrish spent the night drunk and doing terrible things. He woke up the next morning with one hell of a hangover, a raging headache . . . and a pair of horns growing from his temples. Once, Ig lived the life of the blessed: born into privilege, the second son of a renowned American musician, and the younger brother of a rising late-night TV star, Ig had security and wealth and a place in his community. Ig had it all, and more – he had the love of Merrin Williams, a love founded on shared daydreams, mutual daring, and unlikely midsummer magic. Then beautiful, vivacious Merrin was gone – raped and murdered, under inexplicable circumstances – with Ig the only suspect. He was never tried for the crime, but in the court of public opinion, Ig was and always would be guilty. Now Ig is possessed with a terrible new power to go with his terrible new look, and he means to use it to find the man who killed Merrin and destroyed his life. Being good and praying for the best got him nowhere. It’s time for a little revenge; it’s time the devil had his due. HORNS: It’s moving, sad, often funny, redemptive, and filled with hope.”
‘Horns’ is expected for a 2013 release.
