Fangoria reports that the remake of Brian DePalma’s SISTERS (read The Arrow’s review for the skinny on the original) has just added a genre fave to their ranks. David Cronenberg has signed on to take a small part in the film. According to writer/director Douglas Buck:
“He will play Dr. Lucas Bryant, walking down a hallway in old documentary footage, explaining to the camera why he needs to seperate the mentally troubled Siamese twins Angelica and Annabella Tristiana.”
Should be fun. Especially since they have locked down Asia Argento to play the conjoined twins! You all know how happy that makes us here at AITH. Not only that, but it looks like this puppy may shoot in my boyhood state of Louisiana. As we all know, any business down there is good for the area’s recovery. Here’s what Buck shared on that:
Asia is only available in February, so we decided to no longer shoot in Montreal because of the extreme weather. We were going to shoot in New Orleans, but after the tragedy there, we are now working with reputable production manager Jacky Morgan to locate an alternate, equally Gothic and atmospheric Louisiana city like Shreveport or Monroe.
