It's great news. Eliza is great in horror movies. I doubt she will die in this

You're welcome lovely_disaster. It was Ken (starhawk) who did it for me. I agree with you on that as well dirrrty.

This article amused me

Dushku to Mamba

Looks like delicious lass Eliza Dushku just can't get enough of the genre fun she had in WRONG TURN. Variety reports that she'll topline MAMBA along with Mike Vogel. The co-production from Manufacturas Audiovisuales and Abra Prod will shoot in Spain's Basque Country.

Now I know that MAMBA doesn't sound all that genre-y, but the synopsis leaves little doubt that evil will be at play, along with the requisite bikini fun:

"I Know What You Did Last Summer" meets "Final Destination," [in] "Mamba" [which] turns on a group of surfer students who discover an old satanic board game called Mamba. Every time one person loses in the game, they suffer dire death.

Not entirely sure that there are many non-dire deaths, but you see where they're going with it. The man in charge will be newbie helmer Alvaro de Arminan. So now I think the only way to wrap this up is to look at Eliza getting into character.

Bit more background from the excellent Fangoria Magazine here

Eliza Dushku plays deadly game of MAMBA

Variety reports that Eliza Dushku (pictured) of BUFFY and WRONG TURN and Mike (TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE) Vogel will star in MAMBA, an English-language horror film being produced by the Spanish Manufacturas Audiovisuales and Abra Productions companies. First-time director Alvaro de Arminan (an AD on films including LIVE FLESH and INTACTO) will direct from a script by Roderick and Bruce Taylor (who penned Neil Jordan’s upcoming revenge thriller THE BRAVE ONE and the cable sci-fi thriller HELL SWARM) and co-producer Antonio Cuadri, with filming of the $6.4-million project beginning next Monday in Spain’s Basque Country. The story concerns the titular supernatural board game, which is found by a group of young surfers; once they start playing, anyone who loses suffers a terrible death. The cast also includes Germany actress Naike Rivelli and Spanish thesps Gary (WEREWOLF HUNTER) Piquer, Alex O’Dogherty and Martxelo Rubio, with FX created by the busy boys at DDT (PAN’S LABYRINTH).

IMDB seems to have this project entitled Open Graves

lovely_disaster · 10-07-2006, 12:10 AM

hmmm thats odd. do you think maybe mamba is like...a word in spanish and thats just its english title? (yea i know...wierd idea. how could one word mean 2 words? :P lol)

Aphrodite · 10-07-2006, 06:00 AM

I can't believe imdb doesn't even have Eliza listed in the cast yet. What's with that?

And oh! I had no idea Mike Vogel was the guy in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants! Finally, an attractive male to play Eliza's opposite.

Keri · 10-07-2006, 07:53 PM

It's quite possible Open Graves was an earlier working title I guess? IMDB is pretty slack with updates and accurancy.

10-07-2006, 08:02 PM

I prefer the name Mamba, though my first thought when I saw the title was that it was about snakes...maybe thats the reason they changed it?

Probably just an IMDB error though

Aphrodite · 10-08-2006, 06:32 AM

I thought of the dance first and then snakes. I do like the title Mamba, though.

**andrew r** · 10-08-2006, 02:40 PM

With Eliza? That'd be great

dirrrty · 10-10-2006, 04:09 PM
