After thrilling genre fans as Silk Spectre in Zack Snyder’s Watchmen adaptation, Malin Akerman abandoned sci-fi and horror to star  in a string of romantic comedies and ABC’s “Trophy Wife.” But, now, she’s back! Sort of.

Akerman is set to star alongside Taissa Farmiga (“American Horror Story”) in Groundswell Productions’ upcoming horror-comedy The Final Girls. The story centers on the daughter of a recently deceased 80’s scream queen who gets trapped in her mom’s most famous film and must help her fight its killer.

The Final Girls is directed by Todd Strauss-Schulson (A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas) and is slated to go into production in Louisiana in April. Sony Pictures acquired the worldwide rights to the film and will distribute.
