This past week it was announced that Brittany Snow (Prom Night) will topline Senator Entertainment's vidgame adaptation Clock Tower, with Martin Weisz (The Hills Have Eyes 2) directing the production. While the film continues to cast for a shoot this November in Los Angeles, we scored a look at the latest casting breakdown for the film that follows a troubled young woman being treated at a hospital psych ward finds friendship and a kindred spirit in the person of a psychiatrist whose family history is bisects her own...
[DR. THOMAS BATES] is in his 40s – 50s and married, with a young daughter, he is a renowned psychiatrist who has finally given up a long stint in a maximum security psych ward for private practice. However, his new upscale patients are boring rather than challenging, and he jumps at the chance to dig his teeth into something more substantial. We later learn that Thomas, not unlike Alyssa, suffered a disturbing childhood, and lost his schizophrenic mother to suicide. As a young boy he had vowed to learn how to make the voices that plagued her go away. While he could not save his mother, he finds a chance to do something right in the life of Alyssa Hale...LEAD (9)
[ELEAZER BARROWS] 40s – 60s. He's a grizzled man with a terrifying face in a long black robe, usually seen with an antique pair of shears, he is a fire 'n' brimstone preacher from the 17th century, responsible for the hanging of a great number of "witches." He now makes his presence known to those remaining members of the Hale family, including Alyssa Hale and Chloe Bates...LEAD (6)
[SANDI BATES] is in her mid 30s – early 40s, wife of Thomas and mother to their six-year-old daughter, Sandi is a likable, nurturing woman, a furniture restorer who works out of the home. She's happy to have her husband working regular hours with more sane patients, irritated and concerned when he takes such an interest in the case of a young woman at the hospital. Later, she becomes alarmed when it seems that Thomas may harm their little girl...LEAD (11)
[DR. HENRY KAPLAN] is in his 40s, African-American, he is the psychiatrist resident at the hospital, currently treating Alyssa Hale. Perplexed by Alyssa's lack of response to massive medication, he calls in the much-revered Dr. Thomas Bates. He's taken aback when Thomas tells him to take Alyssa off her meds, despite the many traumas she's suffered...LEAD (3)
[CHLOE BATES] 6 years old, she is Thomas and Sandi's adorable daughter, a bright and precocious child who is constantly conversing with her imaginary friends. However, we later learn that one of these imaginary "friends" is an evil preacher, responsible for the persecution of many witches in the 17th century. Her innocent childhood is being shattered by a disturbing presence...LEAD (11)
[JESSICA COOK] In her 40s, she is the wife of the late Edmund Cook, an expert on the Hale family as well as an avid collector of all things pertaining to the Hales. She quickly opens up to Alyssa and Thomas after learning that they are both part of the Hale clan. However, she's clearly tired of all the "crap" in her home and is looking to move soon. She is more than happy to give Alyssa the infamous shears used by the notorious preacher, Eleazer Barrows...15 speeches & 5 lines, 1 scene (81) PLEASE SUBMIT INTERESTING CHARACTER FACES! ANY SHAPE OR SIZE.
[LUNDY] In his 30s, mentally unstable, he is a grubby looking patient who is always making sexual overtures towards Alyssa. Later, he comes to a bad end while trying to rape Alyssa in the hospital basement...1 speech & 5 lines, 3 scenes (5)
so is Brittany's character in her 40's? (he he he). which character is she playing? i guess it doesn't really matter seeing as this will (most likely) be a PG-13 movie. probably a crappy PG-13 movie (a la Prom Night, starring..oh yeah...Brittany!). lol.
i'm willing to give Brittany the benefit of the doubt regarding this movie. the game sounds kinda cool. as long as this doesn't turn into another Prom Night debacle, then i'm open to checking it out.
This movie has too many strikes against it already. #1 is Brittany Snow and #2 is Martin Weisz, who in my opinion will have to deliver one hell of a movie to be forgiven for The Hills Have Eyes 2.
Interestingly enough, they didn't list Brittany's character in this topic. It's almost a certainty that she's Alyssa Hale. So, Britt's in another teenage role, though she doesn't look anything like a teenager. One thing, though, I found to spark my interest is, seemingly the cast already mentioned are all adults, and not 20-somethings. There's a good chunk of older adults, 30s, 40s and 50s in this movie. So that begs the question, who in the hell is that young guy in the bell on the poster? Even for something related to CT, he seems horribly out of place.
wait...so now its Clock Tower 2!? The WORST one in the series!? Seriously? And I guess were going to have zombies running around, yellow blood, and Brittany Snow talking like a man?? Maybe the last stalker can save this, with his scary mask and huge knife. Im REALLY sad there is no scizzor man....
But Im still excited! I love Brittany. :-)
@ Chococat:
Eleazer Barrows is the Scissorman - casting breakdown describes him as a man "usually seen with an antique pair of shears".
And if someone is trying to rape the main character, there is no way that the movie will be PG-13. Sexual assault and PG-13? No way.
Man with huge scissors? Someone will obviously get stabbed, so I'd bet on R rating.
That's why I said it's LOOSELY based on Clock Tower 2. THere's basically a bunch of CT2 chracters in this movie, but the plot seems to be slightly different. Though who knows, we might just see Brittany with a man voice. They might be keeping the dual personality thing a secret(or maybe even thinking about Brittany's OTHER personality being the Killer...perhaps Eleazer's spirit is a part of HER). I can just see something hokey like that for this movie!!
