Megan Fox may be getting a killer of a job shortly. While the rumor that she has expressed interest starring in an adaptation of Hack/Slash isn't new, the apparent confirmation that Fox is interested in the role is. The confirmation surfaced on Fox's official MySpace page and was first brought to the 'net's attention by Creature Corner yesterday, prompting me to write this story and run a picture of the lovely Ms. Fox from UGO's Actress Archives...because the internet needs more pictures of her.
Hack/Slash is a series of comic books that take a post-modern spin on slasher movies like Halloween, Friday the 13th and so on. The main character is Cassie Hack, a young woman that saw her mother brutally murder a bunch of people, kill herself and then come back from the dead to become a supernatural "slasher". Cassie had to end her mom's undead existence and now travels the country finding other small towns where a slasher is located, battling them to bring their reign of terror to its conclusion. She's accompanied by a towering mute and masked behemoth known only as Vlad. There have been several Hack/Slash miniseries so far as well as a stage play (!) adaptation.
When a photo of Megan Fox and Cassie Hack are laid down side-by-side, the two of them look virtually identical. It would certainly be accurate casting if Fox lands the part.
