It Makes Perfect Sense For The Hunger Games Stars To Join Abigail Breslin’s Dark Comedy Final Girl

Alexander Ludwig and Wes Bentley both suffered some pretty awful on-screen deaths in The Hunger Games earlier this year. As brutal tribute Cato Alexander got ripped apart by the muttations, and only after Katniss gave him a mercy shot with her arrow was he allowed to die Less grisly but just as chilling was Gamemaker Seneca Crane getting locked in a room with the poisonous nightlock berries after he failed at eliminating Katniss and/or Peeta

Turns out these were just practice for the actors  next project! Final Girl is a dark comedy that aims to mock the horror-movie notion of the  Final Girl  or the last girl left standing at the end of a slasher flick. We’ve long known that Abigail Breslin   one of our 25 Crushable Girls Under 25  will be starring as Veronica. But now we know more about the plot and just how badass she’s gonna be

    Loner Veronica is new to school  shy and vulnerable the perfect target for a group of teenage boys who lure girls into the woods to hunt and kill them for sport  It’s only after they get her alone that she turns the tables on them  escaping and revealing she’s armed and knows how to defend herself. Little do they know  Veronica is an assassin-in-training, and she’s chosen killing these boys as her final test. When the dust clears Veronica will find out if she can be the final girl these boys ever have a chance to hurt

ShockTillYouDrop reports that Alexander and Wes have joined the cast for the movie  which also includes Michael Trevino  The Vampire Diaries  Francesca Eastwood, and Connor Paolo (Gossip Girl  I’m gonna guess that Alexander is one of the boys that Veronica gets her revenge on, but there are more options for Wes  role  Sympathetic teacher  Creepy stepdad figure  Veronica’s mentor

Of course  my esteem for this movie dipped a little when I learned that it’s being directed by celebrity photographer Tyler Shields. I find his photo shoots less compelling and more trying too hard to be controversial. Plus  if we want to split hairs  Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard kinda blew the Final Girl idea out of the water with Cabin in the Woods earlier this year
