Genre Bending TUCKER AND DALE VS EVIL
Calgary, Canada – July 8, 2009 -- Production has begun in Calgary on TUCKER AND DALE VS EVIL, a genre bending comedy which makes fun of horror clichés. Tyler Labine stars as “Dale” alongside Alan Tudyk as “Tucker,” two good natured hillbillies who are mistakenly accused of being psycho killers by a group of college kids camping at the same lake where the hillbillies have just acquired a dilapidated cabin as their “summer home.” Katrina Bowen also stars.
TUCKER AND DALE VS EVIL is directed by Eli Craig, from a screenplay, acknowledged as one of the industry’s best unproduced scripts, by Craig and Morgan Jurgenson. Craig and Jurgenson met while attending the USC School of Cinema, and co-wrote the script after graduation. Craig is the writer/director of the award winning short film “The Tao of Pong”. He is repped by CAA.
Tyler Labine will next be seen in the Fox series “Sons of Tucson.” He is well known to audiences for his appearances on “Reaper” and “Invasion.” Alan Tudyk is a regular on “Dollhouse.” His feature credits include “Knocked Up” and “Serenity.” Katrina Bowden stared as Cerie on the long running “30 Rock.”
