Actress Tisha French, who’s done episodic work on various TV shows such as Brothers & Sisters and Prison Break, has booked two roles on some upcoming films, including the Michael Bay produced film, ‘Vigilandia,’ and Mark and Jay Duplass‘ produced horror comedy, ‘Milo.’
‘Milo’ follows Duncan (played by Ken Marino), an incredibly stressed man who is plagued with vicious stomach troubles. We’re told that Duncan actually has a demon living inside his intestines, a demon who wreaks havoc internally until Duncan, during a therapy session, gives it permission to come out. Highsmith, Duncan’s shrink, explains that the demon is the personification of his anxiety. He’s advised to embrace his inner demon and thus names it Milo…
French will be playing Susan, a co-worker of Duncan. Directed by Gabriel Cowan, the film also stars “Community” star Gillian Jacobs, Judy Greer, and Peter Stormare.
In Universal’s sci-fi thriller, ‘Vigilandia,’ the film is the first installment in a planned post-apocalyptic franchise that Bay is producing, through his company Platinum Dunes, alongside Paranormal Activity’s Jason Blum.
Written and directed by James DeMonaco, French joins a cast that includes Ethan Hawke, Lena Headey, Rhys Wakefield, Chris Mulkey and Edwin Hodge.
Set in the future, the story follows a regime called “New Founding Fathers of America.” The organization seeks to control an outbreak of violence and crime with a movement called “The Cure” – an event which allows murder to be legalised for 12 hours, three times a year.
French will play the wife of Chris Mulkey’s character.
Both Vigilandia and Milo will hit theaters in 2013.
