Jenna Ortega has had a series of interesting roles, but she found international fame with the role of Wednesday Addams in the Netflix Addams Family spin-off Wednesday. The series, as well as other horror roles, led to her becoming one of the most beloved contemporary scream queens.

With roles in films like 2022's Scream, X, Studios 666, and American Carnage, the actress has proven her skills in the horror genre. However, she's not ready to make a switch to a different genre just yet. Per The Hollywood Reporter, Ortega is reportedly in negotiations to star in the remake of 1992's Single White Females. The Insneider was the first to report the news.

The Wednesday star is also rumored to star alongside Bones and All's Taylor Russell, who is also in talks to sign in the upcoming reboot, with Elizabeth Gabler's 3000 Pictures set to work on the remake. What's...

A Single White Female remake is moving at Sony and 3000 Pictures with Wednesday star Jenna Ortega and Taylor Russell (Bones and All) in talks to star.

There’s no word on who might direct the remake, which was first reported on in The Insneider. We understand the film is in the very early stages of development. Russell and Ortega will also produce the film.

The original Single White Female was directed by Barbet Schroeder and starred Jennifer Jason Leigh and Bridget Fonda. In the film, Fonda starred as Allison “Allie” Jones, a software designer living in New York City, who advertises for a roommate after she discovers her live-in fiance has been cheating on her. She soon finds something very strange is going on with the tenant (Leigh) who decides to move in. Sony’s Columbia Pictures distributed the original, which grossed $48 million domestically.

Last week, Taylor Russell (Bones and All) signed on to co-star in the Amazon MGM reboot of The Thomas Crown Affair, a project that Michael B. Jordan has been attached to for nine years. Now, industry scooper Jeff Sneider of The InSneider has heard that Russell is in talks to star in another reboot that has been in the works for years, an update of the 1992 thriller Single White Female. Jenna Ortega (Wednesday) is also reportedly in talks to star in the film, which is set up at Sony and 3000 Pictures. (Update: Variety has now confirmed Sneider’s report.)

As Sneider notes, “Obviously, the title would likely change, as Ortega and Russell are women of color, and neither identifies as white.” Maybe they’ll just drop the middle out and call it Single Female.

Directed by Barbet Schroeder from a screenplay by Don Roos, the ’92 film was based on...

Here at Zap2it, we interact with tons of TV fans, and it's always refreshing to see when fans turn their mutual admiration for a show or actor into a way to give back to the community. "Supernatural" fans are a passionate bunch, and they've always been highly active in using their power for good.

One great example of that is SupportSupernatural.com, which has raised over $50,000 in two years for actor Jared Padalecki's favorite cause, A Dog's Life Rescue animal shelter in Los Angeles, a volunteer-run organization. The fundraiser, run by "Supernatural" fans Lindsay Warren and Heather Vitas, has set another lofty goal for 2011: they want to raise $30,000.

Over the course of ten months, the organization will be giving away 10 prize packs donated by Creation Entertainment -- they're the ones who run the highly successful "Supernatural" conventions. In order to be eligible to win a prize pack,...

Tammi Sutton is one of the busiest people working in horror today. Having covered what seems like every aspect of the filmmaking process from being a director, producer, production designer, art designer, costume designer, actress, heck she is even editing one of her upcoming films! Is there anything that this bright up and comer can't tackle?!? Judging by her resume, no! I recently had the chance to ask her a few questions about her latest genre film, Sutures. It is refreshing to have another female voice directing in the horror genre. What made you want to start making horror films?

I've loved watching horror films all my life. I watched a lot of Universal, Hammer and Amicus Horror films growing up and of course all the drive-in, exploitation stuff of the seventies as I got older, they've all had a lasting impression. Movies were where most kids connected to the...

Sutures DVD ArtworkDirector: Tammi Sutton.

Writers: Brian Moon, Carlos Laucha, and Jacqueline A. Kelly.

Sutures is a film produced by Sutures LLC and distributed on DVD July 20th by one of the largest independent film supporters, Mti Home Video. Sutures LLC was created exclusively for this film and this company was likely built as a stopping gap in case the film failed financially. This is an educated guess. However, filmmaker Tammi Sutton and her crew have displayed a knack for incorporating childhood trauma in to a story involving unanesthetized organ harvesting. The believability of the premise takes awhile to get used to, but once imagination overcomes this obstacle, Sutures turns out to be an enjoyable yet tragic tale of madness and unresolved Oedipal issues.

The film begins as many horror films do with several good looking twenty-somethings venturing out in to the wilderness for a well deserved rest. These med'...

Mti Video will be releasing Tammi Sutton's (Hell Asylum) Sutures on DVD July 20th and a trailer for the feature is here. The story follows a group of "longtime friends" (IMDb) to a fatal convergence with a "mercenary surgeon," (IMDb) who needs body parts for unknown experiments. Steel yourself and then step inside Sutures with this clip past the break.

The synopsis for Sutures here:

"A group of longtime friends converge on a fatal course with destiny when they cross paths with Alexander Tatum, a mercenary surgeon. He is a hunter with the keen skill of one who has also been hunted. Prey turned predator. The victims quickly realize that Alexander is just the beginning of their problems, as they find themselves enmeshed in a fight for survival against a sociopath business man and his demonic staff, who will stop at nothing to prevail in the sale of Black...

Fango caught up with writer/director Jake (Days Of Darkness) Kennedy, who tipped us off to the new non-work-safe trailer (which you can seen below) for his horror flick Penance. Previously titled The Devil’S Dungeon, produced by Will (Automaton Transfusion) Clevinger and filmed last year in Los Angeles, Penance stars Jeepers Creepers 2’s Marieh Delfino (pictured) as a stripper who falls into the hands of sadistic surgeon (Graham McTavish) with genital mutilation on his mind.

“The title changed from The Devil’S Dungeon to Penance since we believe it has far exceeded our own quality standards in terms of cast, performance and look,” Kennedy tells Fango. “So we wanted to steer away from a B-movie-esque moniker and more toward a cooler, more representative name. Penance means ‘the repentance of one’s sins,’ and that’s exactly what our bad guy is trying to do—and what he’s...
