heres the article link
Heres the article:
Recently we have seen a huge influx of A-list celebrities making the plunge into horror films. For example Jim Carrey, Haylie Duff, Renee Zellweger and even Brad Pitt has been rumored to star in World War Z. So who is next? Jessica Simpon according to director C.L. Gregory.
Today it was announced that Jessica Simpson is currently in final negotiations with Gregory to appear in his independent horror flick The Kentucky Fried Horror Show. The film is scheduled to begin filming at the end of this year. Gregory feels that Jessica Simpson "the girl that can become the next horror scream queen."
“I felt that the script needed someone that could carry the weight of its character and without doubt, Jessica was my first and only consideration for the role. She’s never done a horror film to date and we felt she was ready for a project like this as it will be a very emotional and demanding piece of work for her. But I don’t see anyone who can pull it off better than Jessica Simpson” Gregory says.
When asked about the film itself he actually has a pretty cool idea for it, "I wanted to put the grind back into grindhouse. The movie is simply about a group of college kids on spring break that head to Florida from New York via road trip. Once they get into Kentucky things change from good to bad when they encounter a murderous southern religious cult that has an appetite for blood letting.” Gregory said.
He also says he has several other people in the wings looking to sign on including Bill Moseley, P.J. Soles, Joe Bob Briggs, Polly Holliday, Scarlett Palmers and even, get this, Hillary Duff. Yea this is begining to sound a little odd. I'm not completely sure on the validity of this Press Release since it didn't come from Variety or The Hollywood Reporter but it does sound like a pretty kick ass movie. We'll have to see what happens with this project.
