Eddie McClintock does such a great job as Pete Lattimer on Warehouse 13 each, so it was just a matter pf time before he got tapped to camp it up on a Syfy Original Movie. McClintock is the perfect choice to bring the right mix of semi-seriousness and winks to the audience that these Saturday movies require and I look forward to seeing what he can bring to an old-fashioned creature feature. Here’s the short blurb from Syfy about the project:
Warehouse 13’s Eddie McClintock will star in the upcoming Syfy Saturday Original Movie The Boogeyman (working title). Now filming in Bulgaria, the movie is scheduled to air on Syfy in 2011. In a modern-day retelling of the Cain and Abel story, The Boogeyman, which also stars Emma Samms (Dynasty, General Hospital), is about a deadly supernatural creature who escapes into the world after its keeper suddenly dies, killing indiscriminately while hunting for a new human to be its “brother.” It finally targets a young boy – the son of a widowed cop, played by McClintock. The movie is a production of UFO Films.
