Wild child Alessandra Torresani (“Caprica”) stars opposite Christian “all-my-TV-shows-keep-getting-canceled” Slater in Bennett Robbins Productions’ new teen supernatural thriller Playback. Written and directed by Michael A. Nickles, the film is inspired by the mysterious 1888 disappearance of French inventor Louis Le Prince.

The official synopsis reads:

While digging into their town’s infamous past, a group of high school students unwittingly unlock an even darker secret. Now, an evil spirit has been awakened to possess and destroy its victims through video playback, stopping at nothing to find his true heir.

Shot in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Playback costars Ambyr Childers (“All My Children”), Jennifer Missoni (Inferno: The Linda Lovelace Story), Toby Hemingway (Black Swan), Johnny Pacar (“American Dreams”), and Jonathan Keltz (“Entourage”).

Torresani is best known for her portrayal of teen cylon Zoe Graystone on the short-lived Syfy’s “Battlestar Galactica” spinoff series “Caprica.”

Playback is currently seeking distribution.

“Days of Our Lives” star Shelby Young has been cast as a recurring on writer/producers Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk’s (“Glee,” “Nip/Tuck”) new FX pilot “American Horror Story.” According to THR, the 19-year-old Florida-born starlet will play a mean high school senior named Leah.

Written by Murphy, the pilot episode follows troubled married couple Ben (Dylan McDermott) and Vivien (Connie Britton) Harmon and their goth daughter Violet (Taissa Farmiga) as they take up residence in a haunted San Fransisco home.

Additional costars include Jessica Lange as the Harmon’s nosy neighbor Constance, Dennis O’Hare as Larry the Burn Guy, Evan Peters as Violet’s friend Tate Langdon, and Frances Conroy and Alexandra Breckenridge as the old and young ghost of housekeeper Moira O’Hara, respectively.

Young is coming off director David Fincher’s Oscar nominated drama The Social Network.
