Jordan Alexander Lands Major Role in ‘Sacred Lies: The Singing Bones’

Published

on

Jordan Alexander is a break out star who makes her debut in the Facebook Watch anthology series, Sacred Lies: The Singing Bones.

This series is a whodunnit, mystery/crime drama. You can watch it via the Facebook Watch app on any smartphone, computer or smart TV.

The star is also set to do her first-ever Facebook Live Q&A this Thursday, April 9th at 5pm eastern standard time on the iHorror Facebook page.

This is Alexander’s first starring gig and what a way to introduce yourself to the Hollywood elite, playing opposite Juliette Lewis and Ryan Kwanten.

“This show is absolutely stacked in terms of high-quality actors who have made a big impact on the entertainment industry,” Alexander says. “I definitely felt like a really small fish in a sea of seasoned and immaculate talent, and this experience would have been very different for me, if not for the kindness and encouragement of my costars. From day one I felt like I belonged there, probably because Juliette Lewis called me the night before my first day of shooting and told me so. The attitude of the actors and honestly everyone on set made a world of difference when it came to me being nervous.”

Sacred Lies premiered on February 20 with three episodes and then the remaining 7 weekly after that.

The finale is scheduled to drop April 9.

Critics have already given the young actress thumbs up, praising her performance as Elise in the show, “Alexander, in her first major role, is the revelation here, with a wonderful singing voice and a fine ability to convey the raw emotions Elsie is feeling towards Peter and her childhood in general as she’s about to age out of the foster system.”

Alexander arrived on the entertainment scene back in 2008 with her role in Tortured. She eventually landed the part of Liz in the TV short series Unbury the Biscuit in 2016.

While being fairly new to the industry–she is a singer as well–Alexander is showing her acting chops to millions of people on the biggest social media platform in the world.

We asked her what it’s like to be a part of the Facebook Watch series.

“It’s incredible,” she says. Of course part of the thrill is getting to connect to the community in real time. “The connections between the creators of Sacred Lies: The Singing Bones and the viewers is so strong, to the point where viewers had a say in a number of decisions made about the series. Being on the Facebook Watch platform I felt like we had such creative freedom to make a show that is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. I’m so grateful to be on a show and a platform that is so adventurous and open-minded.”

Here’s a synopsis of Sacred Lies:

Harper, a reclusive online investigator, breaks open a cold case. Elsie, a troubled foster kid, tries to recall the song linking her to a mother she barely remembers – and to Peter, a convict with dark secrets.

Trailer for ‘The Exorcism’ Has Russell Crowe Possessed

Published

on

The latest exorcism movie is about to drop this summer. It’s aptly titled The Exorcism and it stars Academy Award winner turned B-movie savant Russell Crowe. The trailer dropped today and by the looks of it, we are getting a possession movie that takes place on a movie set.

Just like this year’s recent demon-in-media-space film Late Night With the Devil, The Exorcism happens during a production. Although the former takes place on a live network talk show, the latter is on an active sound stage. Hopefully, it won’t be entirely serious and we’ll get some meta chuckles out of it.

The film will open in theaters on June 7, but since Shudder also acquired it, it probably won’t be long after that until it finds a home on the streaming service.

Crowe plays, “Anthony Miller, a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg and David Hyde Pierce.”

Crowe did see some success in last year’s The Pope’s Exorcist mostly because his character was so over-the-top and infused with such comical hubris it bordered on parody. We will see if that is the route actor-turned-director Joshua John Miller takes with The Exorcism.

Published

on

28 years later

Danny Boyle is revisiting his 28 Days Later universe with three new films. He will direct the first, 28 Years Later, with two more to follow. Deadline is reporting that sources say Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes have been cast for the first entry, a sequel to the original. Details are being kept under wraps so we don’t know how or if the first original sequel 28 Weeks Later fits into the project.

Boyle will direct the first movie but it’s unclear which role he will take on in the subsequent films. What is known is Candyman (2021) director Nia DaCosta is scheduled to direct the second film in this trilogy and that the third will be filmed immediately afterward. Whether DaCosta will direct both is still unclear.

Alex Garland is writing the scripts. Garland is having a successful time at the box office right now. He wrote and directed the current action/thriller Civil War which was just knocked out of the theatrical top spot by Radio Silence’s Abigail.

There is no word yet on when, or where, 28 Years Later will start production.

28 Days Later

The original film followed Jim (Cillian Murphy) who wakes from a coma to find that London is currently dealing with a zombie outbreak.
