The Weinstein Co.’s ROSEMARY’S BABY-esque thriller KRISTY (formerly known as SATANIC) has gotten another addition to its cast. X-MEN: FIRST CLASS heart throb Lucas Tilll has signed on to co-star in the film alongside Haley Bennett and Ashley Greene.
KRISTY, directed by DONKEY PUNCH helmer Oliver Blackburn, follows a girl alone campus over the Thanksgiving break when a random encounter with a gang of violent outcasts leads them to target her as their next victim. That’s not a bad concept, but I sort of prefer this this synopsis which follows a college coed who stays in her dorm during Thanksgiving and is terrorized by four masked assailants on the empty campus — the killers are up against far more than they bargained for. Yeah, that one ensures Kristy’s gonna f*ck these dudes up “final girl” style.
KRISTY isn’t Till’s first foray into the genre, having just finished the David Hayter werewolf pic WOLVES and STOKER for Park-Chan Wook. Fans of the LAID TO REST franchise will also remember the actor as the gas station attendent who gets caught up in Chrome Skull’s path of destruction. I’m guessing KRISTY will likely put him in the role of the “gang of violent outcasts” or among the title character’s buddies, but nothing has been specified. We’ll probably find out when the film’s released next year. Until then, how about a sexy Ashley Greene to start your day?
