Stephanie Chaves Jacobsen’s New Horror Movie
Stephanie Chaves Jacobsen is shedding her Kendra Shaw persona from Battlestar Galactica: Razor and taking on another soldier role: she will play an elite soldier named Yoshi in an upcoming horror film starring Cuba Gooding, Jr. and Taryn Manning.
The movie is directed by Sean Connery’s son Jason Connery, and is reportedly in post-production and scheduled for a 2009 release. What the film does not have yet is a title, which is why it is typically referred to as “Untitled Gehenna Project” on most sites … although Jason Connery’s official site implies the film’s name may be Pandemic.
Based on the description, the film is a military horror film with some scifi elements: “An elite group of soldiers on a covert mission to retrieve a scientist from an underground lab encounter an ancient evil in the facility.”
If the tentative title and subject matter are any indication, expect the film to be at least slightly concerned with unethical experiments and their unintended consequences. So in a way, the subject matter of her new project is a bit like the creepy Cylon lab that young William “Husker” Adama discovers in the flashbacks of Battlestar Galactica: Razor.
As previously reported on WatchingBSG, Stephanie also has an upcoming role in David E. Kelly’s remake of the critically acclaimed British drama Life on Mars. Although ABC has yet to approve the BBC remake for the fall 2008 schedule, the show is highly anticipated and is still expected to be greenlit before the hot months hit.
