Babs Is Cast

According to “Halloween” actress Danielle Harris herself (via Twitter) and STYD she’s landed the lead female role in Zebediah DeSoto's recently announced reboot of “Night of the Living Dead: Origins.

"All you're good luck wishes worked! Guess who's gonna be Barbara?!"

She will play Barbara, who finds herself locked in a country house whose character has roots in George Romero’s original “Night of the Living Dead"

Zebediah de Soto and David R. Schwartz co-wrote the script described as an origin story without the involvement of Romero. The intent is to update the tale by diving into the characters' back stories.

When a Stranger Calls remake director ' Simon West and Jib Polhemus are producing

Harris has more than enough genre cred to pull this off. While I'm not jumping out of my skin over the backstory notion--Halloween-2007 and its sequel proved that that's not always a smart move...I'm very happy for Harris just the same...
