Note: Scissorman IS in the game, though he is a little bit different from his video game counterpart. --- 'Clock Tower' Casting Breakdown Thursday, September 11, 2008 By: MrDisgusting 3 Comments 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) http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/13594 --- Some thoughts... - YAY - Scissorman is in the game, it seems. And although his story is completely different from OUR Scissorman, it's still good news, and his backstory isn't quite as shallow as I would have thought. - WHY IS BRITTNEY SNOW IN THIS MOVIE. Okay, to be fair, she may be better than Prom Night let on. I mean, how could anyone have been good in that movie with such a shallow script and a horrible team behind it? Nevertheless, I'm still disappointed with this casting choice, but I guess it's better than some of the alternatives out there...it's probably better than having Lindsay Lohan, or someone like that. So I'll give her a chance on this one. - I hope they don't dumb this down to PG-13. The plot is actually a little more complex, a little darker, and a little more interesting than I would have thought. I think that even though it doesn't directly follow the games, the plot still has the same tone that all of them do, and that speaks (at least) to the film's (possible) potential... - I don't know what else at the moment, lol.
	i can is also jennifer's friendse now!? LOL LOTTE YOU TOMBOY.
