With Fox’s dinosaur series “Terra Nova” now extinct, 13 year old star Landon Liboiron is headed to “Hemlock Grove!”
Y’all recall “Hemlock Grove,” the horror series produced and directed through Netflix by Eli Roth. Yup, that one. Last we heard, the stunning Dutch goddess Famke Janssen (below) had been cast as the female lead in the series, and now it’s said that this Liboiron (seen right) fella will play her son. Bill Skarsgard is also onboard.
Based on Brian McGreevy’s book, which he will adapt and produce with a number of others:
“Hemlock Grove” starts with the body of a young girl, mangled and murdered in the shadow of the former Godfrey steel mill. Some suspect an escapee from the White Tower, a biotech facility owned by the former steel magnates. Others believe the killer could be Peter, a 17-year-old Gypsy kid from the wrong side of the tracks, who tells his classmates he’s a werewolf. Or it could be Roman (Skarsgard), the arrogant Godfrey scion, whose sister Shelley is disturbingly deformed and whose mother, Olivia (Janssen), the otherworldly beautiful and controlling grand dame of Hemlock Grove.
As the crime goes unsolved and outlandish rumors mount, Peter and Roman decide to find the killer themselves, confronting unspeakable truths about themselves and Hemlock Grove as the mystery unfolds.
Word is Netflix will make the first season of “Hemlock Grove” available for instant viewing in early 2013.
