The Crow and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire star Ernie Hudson will star in Oswald Down the Rabbit Hole, a horror take on the animated precursor to Mickey Mouse.
Ernie Hudson Hops into Horror Once More
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.
The film follows the main character, Art, portrayed by Topher Hall (Single Drunk Female). Art is the grandson of Hudson’s character, 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 Sam Henry Kass, writer on Seinfeld and Arliss, 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.
“I am excited to work with everyone on this production,” Hudson said of the news. “It’s an incredibly creative and smart project.”
Filming is set to begin this spring on the movie. It will have a budget of $4.5 million to play with.
