Daniella Burlando is a boner-inducing model/actress from Venezuela on whom I can’t find the slightest bit of info, including movie creds. But, judging from the half-naked spread she did for Maxim Mexico’s May issue, it’s obvious she has an appreciation for the milk-plus and Stanley Kubrick’s 1971 controversial classic A Clockwork Orange.
That’s good enough for me.
Alexandra Breckenridge joins the cast of producer Ryan Murphy’s (“Nip/Tuck”) F/X pilot “American Horror Story.” The pretty 29-year-old will play the young ghost of Moira O’Hara, a woman once charged with the keep of the house in which troubled married couple Ben (Dylan McDermott) and Vivien Harmon (Connie Britton) are now living.
The pilot is written by Murphy and costars Jessica Lange as the Harmon’s nosy neighbor Constance, Dennis O’Hare as Larry the Burn Guy, Taissa Farmiga as the Harmon’s goth daughter Violet, Evan Peters as Violet’s friend Tate Langdon, and Frances Conroy as the old ghost of Moira O’Hara.
Breckenridge’s only horror creds to date are the 2002 indies Vampire Clan and Wishcraft. She is best known for her voice work on Seth MacFarlane’s “Family Guy” and for starring on The CW’s “Life Unexpected” and the short-lived F/X’s series “Dirt.”
Knockouts Jessica Biel (Texas Chainsaw Massacre) and Kate Beckinsale (Underworld) have officially been cast as the female leads in Sony Pictures remake of director Paul Verhoeven’s 1990 sci-fi classic Total Recall. They will play prostitute/resistance fighter Melina and double-crosser Lori Quaid, respectively.
The reboot is directed by Len Wiseman and finds Colin Farrell stepping into Arnold Schwarzenegger’s shoes as protagonist Doug Quaid, a factory worker who starts to believe he’s a spy when his real memories and those he purchased from an implanting company start to blur together.
Total Recall is set to roll camera next Monday. Costars include Bryan Cranston (“Breaking Bad”) as politico villain Vilos Cohaagen, Bill Nighy (Pirates of the Caribbean) as resistance leader Quatto, and Ethan Hawk (Daybreakers) in an undisclosed cameo.
Biel made her genre debut in Platinum Dunes’ 2003 white-knuckle remake of Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Roles in David S. Goyer’s Blade: Trinity, David R. Ellis’ Cellular, Neil Burger’s The Illusionist, and the Nicholas Cage sci-fi actioner Next followed.
The 29-year-old looker will next be seen in French director Pascal Laugier’s (Martyrs) English language feature film debut The Tall Man.
