Kelly McGillis gets a starring role in "Stake Land"Recently out actress Kelly McGillis is back on the highway to the danger zone. The former Top Gun star has joined forces with Danielle Harris, hero of Halloween II through Halloween MCMXCVIII, for a new film called Stake Land.
Horror movie site Bloody Disgusting describes the flick like this: "Stake Land is a post-apocalyptic vampire story in the style of The Grapes of Wrath." So, I guess it's like a bloodier version of Oregon Trail? Instead of losing blankets in a flood and contracting typhoid, you lose your wooden crosses in a brimstone shower while your neck gets gobbled by a vampire? McGillis will play a nun, aptly named "Sister," who faces a crisis of faith (as anyone would) during all the vampire bloodshed. Ultimately she takes up arms (again: as anyone would) to fight off the post-apocalyptic hooligans. (You think this is Fake Gay News, but it's not.) Dark Sky Productions vice-president Greg Newman said in a statement: "Jim [Mickle] and Nick [Damici] have written a uniquely intense part for 'Sister', and we are thrilled to see Kelly McGillis in the role. This is a very ambitious project, with a genuinely epic sweep, and we cannot wait to bring it to audiences next year." After several recurring guest spots on TV, including one on The L Word, this will be McGillis' first role on a feature film in almost ten years. BloodyDisgusting.com got their hands on the first image from Stake Land today:
Ruh-roh!

Horror? Too bad
Really would love to see her, but it won't be in this movie...
What's the reference to the game, The Oregon Trail, mean? (a very boring game at that)
hmm..really?
Nuns and vampires.. that's an interesting match.. rather.. lovely? LOL... Was Kelly McGillis in the L Word in Tasha's trials?

Is it just me...
Or does she look like an older version of Lena Headey from Imagine Me and You?
A little off topic but still VERY relevant. ;) Eh? Eh?
Either way I'd still love to see Kelly fightin bad guys. :)
Or...
You could look at pictures of Kelly McGillis herself at that age...
Age is a thief.
Go Kelly
Good for Kelly that she is keeping busy at a time in her life when a lot of other actresses get railroaded. And I adore gory, disgusting horror films so I'll definitely see this new movie if it gets released in Ireland.
This item on AE is quite a coincidence, as I just watched her and Jodeye Foster in 'The Accused' last night (they were both bloody brilliant), I'm just now thinking that I'd love to see Kelly and Jodeye team up once more for a machine-gun-juddering, badass action movie, or any type of movie at all. T'would be cool- they had amazing chemistry together on screen!
Hip To The Beat, Mommie-O!
