TWILIGHT Actress To Go From Broody Vamps To An APPARITION??

Published at:  Nov 06, 2009 10:36:17 AM CST


Hello. Elston Gunn here.


Variety is reporting that Ashley Greene (TWILIGHT) is in talks to star in APPARITION for Joel Silver's Dark Castle shingle and Warner Bros., who is releasing the pic (Dark Castle has NINJA ASSASSIN out soon and released ORPHAN earlier this year). Inspired by true events, it's about a young couple haunted by an apparition unleashed during a college experiment.

Silver is producing with Andrew Rona and Alex Heineman. Steve Richards, Sue Baden Powell and Daniel Alter (who's producing JONNY QUEST also at Warners) are exec producing. Todd Lincoln is writing and directing. Lincoln was previously attached to remakes of THE FLY at Fox and the HACK/SLASH comic adaptation.

Dark Castle has been down the apparition road before: first with HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL, then 13 GHOSTS and GHOST SHIP, (They also have THE LOSERS currently in post-production.) I imagine with the recent success of PARANORMAL ACTIVITY we're going to get all kinds of paranormal films coming around the bend again -- not that they've really gone anywhere to begin with -- veering a bit from vamps, slashers and zombies back to g-g-g-ghosts.

Thoughts, prayers, suggestions?

    Ashley has SHOWN that she wants to be a star.

    Actresses have got to REVEAL their talent if they want to be cast.

    by harrycalder

    "House on Haunted Hill" is a fave. Any movie with roller coasters and gore and Famke Jansen (sp?) is an automatic win. BTW, saw another commersh for Ninja Assassin... might just make me forget Speed Racer.

    by hint_of_smegma

    Is there any other word other than "Twilight" that can immediately cause me to retch? No. No there isn't. Elston, anything whatsoever remotely connected to that twinkling shit is of no interest whasoever. Except of course to rile us up and make us rant. It's bad enough that shit exists, you don't have to remind us of it.

    Inspired by true events?

    by cornontheblob

    the experiment may have been an actual event, the wacky shit that happened afterwards might have been true, but to claim it was a true haunting by real apparition is bunk, and using snake oil to sell a movie concept. where is the scientific proof that it was a ghost? I love my fantasy fun, but in the real world, science rules.

    Michael Jackson's Bad video was inspired by true events

    by lone fox

    Working class black kid goes to college, when he returns home his friends accuse him of selling out, acting White, not down with his homies no more-- oh... no wait, that WAS true. Where was I going with this. EVERYTHING in the world ever was inspired by true events. Even just remotely. They may as well add the disclaimer 'this is a film you are watching made by a team of filmmakers and you're watching it in a cinema'

    I was texting while watching, I don't get it so was Gabriel 1) the trickster all along ever since he first appeared and had that jock slowdancing with an alien to "lady in red" or 2) did Gabriel just copy his image or 3)Gabriel killed the trickster and took his place? Btw that girl that was helping Dean research was pretty, couldn't find her name though.

    by rocco curioso

    She should avoid getting bogged down in too many horror movies early on, otherwise it's a trip down Jamie Lee Curtis Lane (or worse, Angela Bettis Blvd.).She's quite hot; who gives a damn if she can act or not? Still, she needs to branch out.

    You know...

    by red ned lynch

    ...I sort of enjoyed House on Haunted Hill. It was two thirds of a reasonably good little horror movie, and though it went to pieces at the end the first two acts and the very likable cast (Rush, Janssen, Diggs, Larter and especially Combs as the evil doctor) made it enjoyable crap. But every other movie this company has produced has been dreadful with a capital dreadful. House of Wax? Ghost Ship? (and don't go on about the opening scene; an entire craptastical eighty minutes followed). Ashley Greene may be cute, but she ain't cute enough to make any difference at all.

    by organized chaos

    I mean come on! Had anyone even heard of her before her nude pics were leaked? I have a feeling she leaked them herself just to get the attention. People in Hollywood are twisted, retarded and fucked up enough for something like this to happen. And it seems to have worked! Suddenly everyone thinks she's hot and she's getting movie deals! Don't get me wrong though, she is hot.

    ORGANIZED CHAOS

    by rocco curioso

    Ultimately (although perhaps not intentionally), those nude pics serve a purpose. For as long as she has a career as an actress, if she ever gets bugged by a director to do a nude scene, she can just tell him "Not necessary, hoss... been there, done that. Here's the link". As far as nude pics go, those were fairly subtle. No condiments or double duty or farm animals involved.Many thanks to Mullah Omar, btw (may your camels spit nothing but dates). I'd heard about those pics but never actually seen them.
