In the past, horror movies liked to use children and women as protagonists, because at that time these two groups were regarded as vulnerable groups, and their screams in front of masked murderers or evil spirits with sharp claws on their hands often brought more shocking effects, while coolly dressed women could also play an eye-catching role.
However, nowadays, feminism is prevalent in Hollywood, and the positioning of female characters has also undergone quiet changes, female characters are no longer just screaming vases with big chests and no brains, but have become new heroic characters who can sing and cry, and have shown a new posture in various horror films. "Shark Sea", "Shark Beach", "Giant Crocodile Storm", all of them are basically only female characters, and they have also shown some extraordinary survival postures in them. In the new trilogy, Jamie Lee Curtis went straight from prey to hunter, with three generations of grandchildren joining forces to fight the killer. During this time, two other important new horror series works have also exposed casting information, also played by female characters.
The first is Ghostbusters: Rise, which I've already covered as the two female protagonists identified, Alyssa Sutherland and Lily Sullivan.
The two Australian actresses will play a pair of sisters in the film, and they will be the two central characters in the film when they are reunited for a long time. In the past two days, several other actors have also been confirmed to join the film, namely Gabriel Gabrielle Echols, Morgan Morgan Davies, Nell Fisher.
All three are young actors, there are not many works, and they are all female characters, it seems that this time "Rise of the Ghost Playman" is not only the protagonist woman, but even the entire starring lineup is the main female. Although there was no return before, Bruce Campbell, who served as the producer, said in an interview that this time it will show the rise of some female heroes who are more bullish.
Rise of the Ghostbusters will share the same worldview as the old trilogy, with the story said to abandon the wild environment of a cabin in the woods and move the setting to a skyscraper. Filming has already begun and will land directly on Warner's streaming platform HBO Max, which is expected to air next year.
The other is the "Raising Ghosts and Eating People" episode. It has been said before that "Raising Ghosts eats people" is preparing a new version of the series, which will also land on Warner's streaming platform HBO Max, and the series will lock in a female protagonist, the official is looking for a woman similar to the actor Elizabeth Debicki to star in the series, and now, foreign media reports, actor Odessa A'zion joined the "Ghost Eater" episode as the heroine, this actor is not familiar to everyone, before starring in "Scared Julie" Such a small-cost thriller movie, there is no masterpiece, this "Raising Ghosts eating people" series for her, should be regarded as the first starring heavyweight project.
According to foreign media reports, the heroine of this "Raising Ghosts and Eating People" is named Riley (Riley), she will incarnate into a female version of the nail head in the film, it is estimated that the series will revolve around how she was selected to become a new nail head, and how to accept the mission step by step, of course, the specific plot has not yet been exposed, we do not know how it will be interpreted. But in any case, the image of the female version of the nail head is very curious.
