Oscar Nominee Abigail Breslin Plays it Über Badass in “FINAL GIRL”
Academy Award
nominee and multi-awarded young actress Abigail Breslin, known for her
remarkable portrayals in movies such as “Little Miss Sunshine,” “August: Osage
County,” “Ender’s Game” and “Maggie” stars in another avant-garde role in
“Final Girl.”
Abigail Breslin takes on a very
tough and chilling role in “Final Girl” where the tables are turned when a
group of young men becomes the hunted when they finally met their match in one
girl, an assassin who’s been trained since she was young and has chosen the
group to be her final task.
Beyond the continuing battle
between the sexes, in “Final Girl,” Breslin plays real badass assassin Veronica,
a new student who is shy and vulnerable – the perfect target for a group of
teenage boys who lure girls into the woods to hunt and kill them for sport.
It's only after they get her alone and escaped, eventually revealing she's
armed and knows how to defend herself. Little do they know, Veronica is an
assassin-in-training, and she's chosen killing these boys as her final test.
When the dust clears, Veronica will find out if she can be the final girl these
boys ever have a chance to hurt.
During filming, it was reported
that Breslin sent a stuntman straight to the medic on the set while filming
“Final Girl” after she punched him in the face.
Abigail was shooting a huge action scene where she was hanging out of a
car and then "pretending" to knock out her scene partner when things
got hairy. Sources say that Abigail accidentally clocked
the stunt guy for real and the punch was so powerful, he had to stop filming
and was rushed straight to the on-set medic.
Abigail was extremely apologetic when it happened. And as for the guy,
he resumed filming a short time later with a giant black eye.
"She is doing everything in
the movie," director Tyler Shields explained. "She is unlike anyone
has ever seen her before. You will see the dangerous and the beautiful side of
Abigail Breslin."
“It’s
really exciting and bizarre; and Tyler Shields directed it, and that speaks on
its own, if you know who Tyler Shields is. I’m just really excited for people
to see it,” Breslin stated.
Breslin stars alongside a
powerful cast of young actors – Alexander Ludwig and Wes Bentley of “The Hunger
Games” series and Cameron Bright of the “Twilight” series.
“Final
Girl” hits theatres this July 8 from Pioneer Films.
