Horror icons Doug Bradley, Robert Englund and James Marsters united in Urbane
by Marcel Hellemons, Darkfocus.com
 Several amazing casting rumors have surfaced on the internet for the upcoming horror movie Urbane. Both James Marsters (Buffy's Spike) as well as Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger) are supposed to join Doug Bradley (Pinhead).
Because we at DarkFocus.com want to keep you up to date with all the exciting news on Urbane we talked to director Frazer Lee about the rumoured new cast members. Here's the latest inside info:
Doug Bradley as nightclub owner Richard Germaine
Doug Bradley, who is most famous for his portrayal as the tortured prince of pain 'Pinhead' in the Hellraiser movies, is definately confirmed as the suave owner of a fetish London nightclub Richard Germaine.
Robert Englund as Professor Fredericksen
Robert Englund, who is most famous for his energetic performance as Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare on Elmstreet movies is in talks to play Professor Fredericksen.
Englund mentioned his involvement during a recent interview at PhillyBurbs.com:
"There are a couple of films I'm involved in; one is an English film by Frazer Lee..."
When we asked Urbane director Frazer Lee about this he told us:
"Robert Englund is one of the top names in the horror genre and I greatly admire him as an actor. I’m delighted to say we are in talks for him to appear in URBANE and to go head-to-head with Doug Bradley, which is something I believe horror fans will be very excited to see! Robert would be playing a really cool character called Professor Fredericksen. We’ve been running an online poll at www.urbanethemovie.com to find out who fans want to see playing the role, and Robert is the clear winner! He’s seen the URBANE screenplay and is very enthusiastic about it, so I hope we can make it happen with him. No papers have been signed yet, but once our final finances are locked down and shooting dates scheduled hopefully we’ll get there. Robert Englund and Doug Bradley are the Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee of their generation and seeing them face off against each other would be so incredibly awesome, kind of like having “Freddy versus Pinhead” but without all the latex..."
James Marsters as Jeez
Park Entertainment is the distributor for Urbane. It was at their about us page we found the name James Marsters mentioned in the same breathe as Doug Bradley to star in Urbane. James Marsters became a famous face on tv by his role as 'Spike' in the popular horror series 'Buffy the Vampireslayer' and 'Angel'. Of course we wanted all the details and here's what director Frazer Lee had to say:
"We are also in the very early stages of talking with James Marsters’ agent with a view to him playing Geez. I love James’ work in “Buffy” and “Angel” and also his rock band “Ghost of the Robot”. James has a huge following and an incredible onscreen persona – I think he’d really bring something extra special to URBANE and he’s got a great face for posters!"
Stephanie Leonidas as Lili
She appears in the exciting upcoming fantasy movie MirrorMask.
Urbane director Frazer Lee:
"Stephanie Leonidas blew me away with her performance in the telly drama “Wall of Silence”. She’s really got something, a special human quality and a very natural demeanor and beauty. We’re speaking with Stephanie about the lead role of Lili. I’ll be asking her to watch Jamie Lee Curtis in HALLOWEEN, as that, for me, was the role that really broke the female lead mould in horror movies. URBANE isn’t really about the running and screaming so much, but it does require our lead actress to go to some very dark places and experience some very disturbing events. I’d be very happy to put Stephanie through her paces, I believe she’d be awesome.
As always, please drop by www.urbanethemovie.com for the latest info about the movie."
