This will be director Glenn Campbell’s (Adventures of Aladdin) sophomore feature and Tammy Klein will be making her debut as director. We know writer, Lauren Pritchard from her screenplay for Robot Apocalypse and writer Joe Roche for his screenplays for Meteor Moon and Collision Earth.
Where things start to get really fun, and super-meta, is that Planet Dune returns Sean Young (Blade Runner) to her roots, coming full circle as she stars in both David Lynch’s 1984’s Dune as well as Asylum’s offering. Emily Killian, Tammy Klein and Clark Moore round out the cast.
Sean Young has been in the Hollywood game since the early 80s, but I remember seeing her for the first time in the 1981 classic Stripes with Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, John Candy, Warren Oates, Judge Reinhold and a young Bill Paxton. Her career took a weird turn when filming TheBoostwhen her co-star, James Woods, pressed charges for stalking and harassment. He would later end up having to pay her legal fees. She then broke her arm right before she was supposed to start filmingTim Burton’s Batman playing Vicki Vale.
She purported that she was kicked off Dick Tracy for rebuffing Warren Beatty’s advances, ultimately being labeled as ‘difficult’ to work with.She has remained in the business making a movie nearly every year since then. She has had a diverse career spanning decades starring in comedies like Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and Fatal Instinct to indies such as Even Cowgirls Get the Blues and Bone Tomahawk. And if you haven’t seen Attack of the 50 Foot Cheerleader, treat yo’self!
