After a few rumors made the rounds, it turned out that foxy young Disney thing Vanessa Hudgens (best known for HIGH SCHOOL MUSICALs and naked photos) wasn't actually going to be part of the TWILIGHT sequel. Does she have a potential franchise of her own in her future?

Possibly, but right now it's just more rumor -- but at least it comes from a better source. According to comic creator Josh Howard, his Viper Comics title DEAD @ 17 is in the works as a feature film.

As Howard mentions during a recent podcast with Comics on Comics (via LITG), producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura (TRANSFORMERS, GI JOE) has a movie in the works based on the comic property, and they're pursuing Ms. Hudgens for the project. Mike Dougherty (X2, SUPERMAN RETURNS) is working on the script.

DEAD @ 17 (soon jumping to Image Comics) involves a murdered teenage girl who returns from the grave, a prophesied savior who uses her new abilities to fight evil. While looking hot, of course.

Heard any good rumors lately?

The story is pretty much everywhere, so I'm not going to link to it. But in a recent interview, I was asked about the status of the potential Dead @ 17 film. I was very careful about how I worded my response, but the whole thing has taken on a life of its own. Yes, Lorenzo DiBonaventura and Michael Dougherty are involved, and yes, an actress has been approached, but that's pretty much it for the moment. It's still early, nothing is set in stone. Believe me - I've been down this road a dozen times before. Names have been attached before only to have it all fall apart at the last minute. I'm pretty confident in where things stand at the moment, but we'll see.

Vanessa Hudgens Dead @ 17, Mike Dougherty Scripting Her Demise And Resurrection

I reckon there was some credibility to the claims that Vanessa Hudgens auditioned for New Moon and I fear she only received the knockback when a disclaimer about her casting went public, the poor thing. All’s well that end’s well, however, and it seems like she’s now on the list for something a whole lot more interesting.

Rich Johnston at Lying in the Gutters linked to a Comics on Comics interview with Josh Howard, creator of the Dead @ 17 comics. In the interview, Howard mentioned that Lorenzo di Bonaventura was producing a cinema adaptation of his series and that Vanessa Hudgens was being pursued to star. Better still, he also spilled that Mike Dougherty is writing the screenplay.

Aside from Lex Luthor’s truly underwhelming “evil plot” (I know Lex has a thing about real estate, but come on) I think Superman Returns, which Dougherty co-wrote with Dan Harris, was really very good indeed and their previous collaboration with Bryan Singer on X2 is amongst the greatest films of the superhero genre. Dougherty’s last project was the much hyped but seldom seen Trick’r Treat, a cruel victim of Warner Bros. seemingly indecipherable distribution illogic. Seeing as he graduated to director there with an impressively increased reputation, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him taking the reigns on Dead @ 17 as well.

The comic’s premise sounds eminently franchisable: It’s Buffy meets Nikita as as 17 year old Nara Kilday (er… interesting name) is killed, resurrected and set to the task of slaughtering evil monsters and the like. I haven’t read a single panel of the thing so maybe I’m missing the new idea.

Nara has a friend called Hazy Foss, by the way. Where did Howard get these names from?

Judging Ms. Hudgens’ acting abilities on the strength of the projects she’s been shackled too so far would be cruel. It isn’t her fault that all she’s been shoveled little more than lowest common denominator dreck and films that have been less artistic endeavour than money laundering exercise. If she continues in this vein now that she’s being hunted for stuff at least one rung up the ladder, then I’ll change my idea of who is to blame.

Here’s a Dead@17 fan film from the great mixing bowl that is YouTube. Remember: I didn’t make it, I’m just embedding it.

Someone didn't grab the articles in the last thread

Tugba when you get the chance can you add the JoBlo article && Josh's little blurb from his official site && put it under 'Most Recent' as well as the KCA nomination

I'll find them && post them all here so it's not so much work.

cookie~monster · 02-24-2009, 02:45 PM

We need to add the Dead @ 17 info to the opening post and maybe add some info about the people behind the project.

What is Dead @ 17? I've heard a little about that, and while it's probably not going to challenge her as an actress, it really will help her career A LOT.

I wanted to address the bolded part...

I do think this movie will challenge her.

The main part that will challenge her is at the very beginning...

her character has a pretty violent murder in the comics...

she has a home invader that she struggles with and she is stabbed and she is left to bleed to death in her bathroom...

if she is able to pull off a murder scene (they can't cut it because it is important to the plot) then that will really help her career.

It's not the typical "shoot the victim in the head and she dies" or "push the victim off the building"...she actually struggles and slowly dies.

nyychick2 · 02-24-2009, 02:49 PM

Thanks for opening Tugba!

And IA Erin. Not everyone can do those scenes well. Sometimes it can come off as fabricated and fake.

I agree. I don't think it will be easy and I am interested in seeing if she will be able to convey the emotion and physical struggle to the fullest. I wan't to be able to feel for the character which I hope she will be able to do.
If she does get to do the movie they the casting director believe that she can do it then I will be excited to see this

You don't have to put the entire article in length, but yea.
&& I'm not going to link all the articles mentioning Dead@17 since there was a good few, but the first one to report it, Josh's site && / Film.

Ok, JoBlo article that I mentioned
