Filmmaker and novelist Gregory Lamberson (Slime City and Personal Demons) has cast actress Erin Brown (aka Misty Mundae) as the female lead in GRUESOME, the short film/music video based on his upcoming novel, JOHNNY GRUESOME, and rock CD GRUESOME.
The sexy Erika Smith, who was originally cast to play Johnny’s girlfriend, decided to take a role in the upcoming BACHELOR PARTY 2 which conflicted with Lamberson’s shooting schedule, so he got Misty Mundae instead.
“It’s a strange business,” Lamberson says. “I originally offered the role to Erin, but she was busy on another shoot and wasn’t able to get back to me. So I cast another actress, who then accepted a role in BACHELOR PARTY 2 that conflicted with my shoot. At that point, I was able to get hold of Erin, my original choice, so everything worked out for the best. From the minute I decided to cast a scream queen as ‘Johnny’s girl,’ I thought Erin was perfect for the role.”
The video will premiere on-line in mid-summer, ahead of the August release of the CD and the novel’s September publication. A comic book adaptation of one chapter of the novel is available at JohnnyGruesome.com.
