On Friday, Anchor Bay is releasing the much anticipated and much acclaimed horror flick FROZEN (our own Chris Bumbray saw it at Sundance and really dug it) from director Adam Green. The flick co-stars Shawn Ashmore, and while out promoting FROZEN, Ashmore was also asked about his role in Darren Lynn Bousman’s upcoming horror flick MOTHER’S DAY–and surprisingly enough, he didn’t hold back!
The boys at STYD asked him about his role in MOTHER’S DAY and what the flick was all about, and Ashmore obliged the questions with some damn fine answers. Here’s just a snippet of what Ashmore had to say as he describes what the film is about, and who his character is. Check it:
I play a character named George Barnum. In our movie, the Koffin brothers have robbed a bank and in the midst of robbing the bank, one of the brothers gets shot, so they go home to their mother’s house to lay low and figure out what to do. And they come bursting into their old childhood home and realize that everything’s different. They realize that their mother had lost the house without telling them, and they stumble upon a birthday party with these 10 yuppie types partying in the basement. So they hold them all hostage and my character George is a doctor, so he’s given the task of keeping the brother alive or they’re going to kill everyone in the house. It’s a really intense movie.
Wow, that sounds like fun, eh? Awesome time, really. Notice how he was quick to say “in our movie…” when desciribing this flick? That’s because the ‘remake’ is quite different than the original source material, and besides the title and other general similarities, the two films are (apparently) nothing alike.
Ashmore also goes into why he’s never seen the original, how different making FROZEN was in comparison to MOTHER’S DAY, and how cool the rest of the cast were on set…. but you gotta head THIS WAY to read all about it. MOTHER’S DAY hits theaters sometime later this year.
MOTHER’S DAY’s Rebecca de Mornay (and two naked green chicks)!
