Supernatural

A few months ago it was announced that Supernatural stars Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki would both be starring in horror films set for release in 2009.  First up will be Jensen's My Bloody Valentine 3-D, which will be in theaters on January 23 of next year.  A few weeks later on February 13, fans can see Jared on the big screen in the remake of Friday the 13th.  Now that both films have started shooting, we have additional plot details and casting information for each of these gory romps.

The remake of Friday the 13th, which is currently shooting in Austin, Texas, has added quite a few cast members since Jared jumped on board.  Amanda Righetti, who played Hailey on The O.C., has been cast as the female lead.  Nana Visitor (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) will be playing Jason's mother, Pamela Voorhees, and the big guy himself will be portrayed by actor Derek Mears.  Danielle Panabaker (Shark), Jonathan Sadowski (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles), Travis Van Winkle (Greek) and Aaron Yoo (Disturbia) have also joined the cast.

After a recent set visit, Bloody-Disgusting.com promised fans that the new Friday the 13th will feature "mass nudity, drug use, extreme violence, cussing like no tomorrow and most importantly, creative deaths." This is great news to fans of the notoriously violent R-rated franchise.  However, Supernatural addicts hoping that the "mass nudity" will include Padalecki shouldn't hold their breath, as it's usually the ladies taking it off in these movies.

While Jared battles an unstoppable killing machine in Austin, Jensen is currently shooting My Bloody Valentine 3-D in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  In the film, which is a remake of a lesser known '80s horror flick, Ackles will play a character who returns to his hometown on the tenth anniversary of a Valentine's Day massacre.  Instead of being welcomed with open arms, his character becomes the prime suspect for the latest murders around town.

Kerr Smith, who will forever be known as Jack McPhee from Dawson's Creek, has joined the cast as Axel Palmer.  Axel is the husband of Sarah, played by actress Jaime King (Sin City), and an antagonist for Ackles' character.  If you've ever wanted to see a Dawson's Creek reunion between C.J. and Jack McPhee, this is your big chance.  Kevin Tighe (Lost) and Marc Macaulay (Burn Notice) have also signed on to the 3-D splatterfest.

Supernatural fans are going to have a very busy, very bloody few weeks at the beginning of 2009.  I'm going to start saving my pennies and polishing my hockey mask in preparation for both gory slasher flicks.
