Ellen Page to Star in Sam Raimi’s ‘Drag Me to Hell’
This is a happy day for horror fans everywhere. Sam Raimi is making a return to horror after a 16 year absence since directing his last horror film, ‘Army of Darkness.’ (That’s if you don’t count ‘The Gift’ as a horror film.)
What’s even better news is that the film titled ‘Drag Me to Hell‘ has acquired the recently Oscar-Nominated, Ellen Page to star in it!
Shocktillyoudrop.com reports that Page will play the recipient of a supernatural curse.
I, for one am very psyched about this news. I am very confident that this will be an exceptional horror movie, as well as for the fact that Ellen Page is a superb casting choice, since she is no stranger to the horror genre. In fact, her gripping and shocking performance in 2006’s Hard Candy, was the first film I even took notice of this very talented actress.
‘Drag Me to Hell’ is set to go into production March 17 of this year, and the script was also co-written by Sam Raimi’s brother, Ivan Raimi. (Sweet!)
When I read that headline, I thought, “Drag me to hell? Is this about seeing Juno again?”
I like it a lot.
If you’re going to go into the horror genre, I can’t think of a better director than Raimi.
And from her perspective, there’s no better way to broaden the range of roles people think you’re capable of than heading into a horror film by none other than Sam Raimi.
Raimi’s lost a lot of my faith. I’m hoping this fares better than his other Ghosthouse Pictures films.
Learn, to place your commas in the, right places.
Maybe it will help with the bad taste that was Spiderman 3….hope springs eternal!
