May 16: It’s official! Macy cast in HOUSE OF RE-ANIMATOR
Confirming an item we first reported here, Halcyon International Pictures has officially announced that William H. Macy will star as the President of the United States in HOUSE OF RE-ANIMATOR. The sequel, which reunites the original RE-ANIMATOR team (director Stuart Gordon, producer Brian Yuzna, writer Dennis Paoli and lead actor Jeffrey Combs), focuses on a Bush-like president who dies in office. His staff covertly brings in Dr. Herbert West to reanimate the Commander in Chief, and the expected chaos ensues. Yuzna plans on producing a new trilogy of RE-ANIMATOR films with Halcyon partners Ray Haboush and Ted Chalmers.
Macy (pictured here in Gordon’s new David Mamet adaptation EDMOND) toplined the Coen Brothers’ hit FARGO and the well-reviewed dark drama THE COOLER; his genre credits include JURASSIC PARK III, the PSYCHO remake and TNT’s upcoming NIGHTMARES & DREAMSCAPES: FROM THE STORIES OF STEPHEN KING (in the UMNEY’S LAST STAND episode; see FANGORIA #254, on sale this month). Fans can ask Gordon about HOUSE OF RE-ANIMATOR during the director’s talk at the next FANGORIA Weekend of Horrors convention in Burbank, June 2-4.
