With the Mickey Mouse and pre-Mickey Oswald the Lucky Rabbit characters now in the public domain, horror filmmakers are free to get their Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey on and turn the beloved animated icons into horror movie maniacs. Enter Oswald: Down the Rabbit Hole, an upcoming horror movie based on the character that was replaced by Mickey.
The project was announced earlier this year, and Bloody Disgusting has learned this week that the legendary Ernie Hudson (Ghostbusters) will star in the horror film!
The upcoming Oswald: Down the Rabbit Hole is being described as a “sinister take on a nostalgic fan-favorite cartoon character encompassing the pure horror genre.”
Hudson will be playing Oswald Jebediah Coleman, a brilliant animator who is cast away to a bone-chilling magical prison. After over 100 years of being trapped there, Oswald’s come-to-life cartoon rabbit is menacing, gruesome and out for blood.

Exclusive: Ghostbusters actor Ernie Hudson has signed on to star in the new horror film Oswald Down the Rabbit Hole.
Hudson will play Oswald Jebediah Coleman, a brilliant animator who is cast away to a bone-chilling magical prison. The synopsis reads: After over 100 years of being trapped there, Oswald’s come-to-life cartoon rabbit is menacing, gruesome and out for blood.
The film follows the main character, Art, portrayed by Topher Hall. Art is the grandson of Hudson’s Oswald. When Art and his brother, Evan, portrayed by Yasha Rayzberg — who studied for two years at The Ruskin School of Acting and worked with Seinfeld and Arli$$ writer Sam Henry Kass — go on a journey to track down his family lineage, it quickly turns into a bloodcurdling nightmare. They are transported to a place lost in time, shrouded by dark Hollywood magic.
Cameras are set to start rolling on the pic...

What it means to return home has proven to be a central theme for producer Lucinda Bruce across the past year and a half.
Not only is she involved in Niki Byrne’s US homecoming drama Evan Wood but Covid-19 has brought her back to her native state of Victoria for an extended period.
As someone who spent more than three years living in Vancouver and regularly divides her time between LA and Australia, Bruce told If she felt “very lucky” to be able to reunite with her family in the rural town Ross Creek prior to the pandemic taking hold.
“I got home just before everything got really crazy and have been here ever since, which has been really nice,” she said.
“Being able to be with my parents during the pandemic was awesome because I knew not everyone was able to.”
The importance of family is at the heart of Evan Wood,...

A couple of weeks ago we brought you news that Aussie actor Roger Ward had joined the cast of the film and now we can exclusively share the next piece of casting for the eagerly awaited new movie from Black Forest Films & Lady of the Light Productions – who have partnered up to make the ambitious feature currently in pre-production.
