Thanks to a web update at the official homepage for Justin McConnell?s The Eternal, we now have some word on who will be starring in the vampire flick. It seems that cult star and fan fave James Lorinz (Frankenhooker/Street Trash) will join McConnell and co-writer/star Adam Wilson?s newest venture. No word yet on the role that Lorinz will play except that his character?s name is ?Matthew Parker?, which probably doesn?t mean much to you unless you have a copy of the script handy (and if you do, send it along to me please). The Eternal follows the exploits of Samuel Gradius, a 500-year-old vampire, who after a lifetime of watching life flourish and perish has decided he wants nothing more than to die ? but death is not so simple for a vampire, as we all know, and now Samuel must seek out a Warrior?s Death in order to die at the hands of someone worthy of his destruction. Sounds pretty epic. The Eternal is obviously still gearing up for production but while you wait to experience the tale of Samuel you can pass the time by either checking out the film?s website or by seeing the prelude to The Eternal (a short film entitled Ending the Eternal) at the Toronto After Dark Film Festival.
