TV: The Monkees Mickey Dolenz Joins Debbie Gibson-vs.-Tiffany in ‘Mega Python vs. Gatoroi’
As previously reported here on BD, SyFy has now found their third Pop icon to star in “Mega Python vs. Gatoroi”. Syfy found a way to make its Debbie Gibson-vs.-Tiffany movie a little more weird: adding a Monkee. Mickey Dolenz, a member of the popular made-for-TV 1960s group the Monkees, has been added to the cast “Mega Python vs. Gatoroid,” in which 1980s pop stars Gibson and Tiffany have been cast as dueling rivals. Dolenz’s post-Monkees career has included directing for TV and theater. He most recently appeared in Rob Zombie’s remake of Halloween. “Mega Python” is produced by The Asylum and is about to start production.
When the project was originally announced, Christina Hendricks was set to star in Reckoner, but Deadline lets us know that Noomi Rapace (Prometheus) has taken over the leading role.
The site reports this afternoon, “Prometheus and Constellation star Rapace is replacing Christina Hendricks who is no longer attached due to scheduling conflicts, we understand.”
Nissar Modi (Z for Zachariah) is writing and directing Reckoner.
“The plot will follow an affluent woman whose carefully constructed life is disrupted by a young man connected to a tightly-held secret from her past.”
The film is based on a short story written by Rachel Ingalls.
XYZ Films and Two & Two Pictures are producing.
“We are immensely excited to join forces with an exceptionally talented team for Reckoner. It is an honour to have Noomi Rapace on board to complement Nissar’s electrifying directorial debut,” Two & Two Pictures said in an official statement shared by Deadline today.
