More fan favorite actors have been attached to "The
Chair" based on the Alterna Comics graphic novel of the same name.
Zach Galligan (Gremlins, Hatchet 3) and Kyle Hester (The
Book of Daniel, Burden of Freedom) have been cast as prison guards Riley and
Bowen, respectively. Ezra Buzzington
(Crossbones, The Prestige), rumored before to play the part of the insane and
rambling inmate, Tudley, has also been attached to the cast. And rounding out these latest additions, Kin
Shriner (the voice of Green Arrow in the Justice League animated series) has
been cast as Officer Oliver, the officer that arrests main character Richard Sullivan.
Producer, co-writer, and creator of the graphic novel,
Peter Simeti informs us that the rest of the main cast, including the pivotal
role of main character Richard Sullivan, is very close to being finalized.
A Kickstarter to raise $300K for the film's budget has
been planned for release in mid-May. Rewards will include props, wardrobe, books, posters,
copies of the film - all signed by the cast and crew - set-used and signed
chairs from "The Chair", and even several roles in the film as an
extra on camera during the scene where Richard Sullivan gets arrested.
Topping off all of this news, a teaser trailer has been
planned for release in the next few weeks that Simeti assures will be,
"Bone-chilling, terrifying, powerful and absolutely awesome. If the teaser
trailer doesn't let you know what you'll be in store for, then nothing else
will. We are making a horror film that
has as much 'brains' in it as it does 'guts'."
