Katt Shea’s remake of the Katt Shea film
Katt Shea has cast soap actor Erik Fellows in Dance of the Damned, a remake of the ’89 film also directed by Shea.
Fellows will be taking on the main vampire role originated by Cyril O’Reilly as the vampire who yearns to learn what it’s like to live in the daylight and ends up finding companionship with a suicidal stripper that he has taken hostage.
In the original Dance of the Damned, a vampire follows his instincts to a strip joint where he focuses in on one of the performers. He picks her for his meal because she is contemplating suicide, but he wants to share her life before taking it, and during the course of the evening they discuss their differences, their fears, and their lifestyles. As the moment of truth approaches, she becomes less sure that she wants to die.
Pre-production is underway with Roger Corman serving as an executive producer.
