Danielle Harris Lands Starring Role in ‘Hatchet 2’!
Bloody Disgusting has learned that beautiful scream queen Danielle Harris (Halloween, Stake Land) has officially been cast as the new “Marybeth” in Adam Green’s Hatchet 2, which begins lensing early next year. “She’s the new Marybeth,” Green tells Bloody Disgusting. “Everything that this movie is trying to be is to get better…case in point is that it brings fans what they want and is going to make ‘Hatchet 2’ even better. [There’s] a new[ly designed] Victor Crowley and the whole cast is f*cking amazing! To have another icon as a leading role is enormous.” The sequel follows Harris as Marybeth as she escapes from the clutches of Victor Crowley, learns the truth about his curse, and heads back into the haunted New Orleans swamp to seek revenge for her family and kill Crowley once and for all… Read on for a bit more from Green about Victor Crowley’s new look.
“Make-up tests on Kane [Hodder] begin in about 10 days,” Green says about the new Victory Crowley. “It’s definitely modified, but looks the same just much more realistic and less rubber suit looking. It’s a much more complicated appliance job. He’s down for it though.”
Hodder is an expert when it comes to make-up appliance as he’s taken on the role of Jason Voorhees in four Friday the 13th films.
Starring alongside Kane Hodder and Danielle Harris are Tony Todd, R.A. Mihailoff and John Carl Buechler.

Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
