In a major turn of events it seems that there has been a recasting of actresses for the star role of “Alice Kersey”. “Alice” is the heroine in the feature adaptation of the short film “Velvet Vengeance” directed by Jeremy Campbell. It went on to when acclaim and awards on the festival circuit. The role was originally portrayed by Andee Martin, you may remember reading my interview with the young strong female actress. Now stepping into the role is the very capable and stunning actress Lindsay Norman who will take on the role of “Alice”.

The story of “Velvet Vengeance” follows a young woman who is faced with the tragic murder of her brother. The police swear that the murderer is dead but Alice can not shake the feeling that the killer is still alive. Against her friends and family's best wishes she travels to the location of her brothers murder to hunt the killer but little does she know that she is the one that is being hunted.

 In a recent Facebook post detailing the change in leads Jeremy had this to say," “Due to personal and private reasons Andee Martin will not be reprising her role as Alice in the feature version of "Velvet Vengeance". Her departure from the film was a mutual understanding and was on good terms.”

In regards to Lindsay Norman taking over the role Campbell went on to state this about the stunning actress, “Please welcome Lindsay Norman to the cast of "Velvet Vengeance." Lindsay was our first and honestly only choice to fill the role. She is a very talented actress with lots of experience, she has a physical background that works for the action aspect of the film…”

As far as the production schedule and any issue’s this causes for the film Campbell stated, “Things are still on track with "Velvet Vengeance" and only getting better. We will be premiering August 30th as apart of "San Antonio Horrific Film Fest" and screening in Dallas this October as a part of "DOA Blood Bath Film Fest."

Stay tuned for more details and progress on the production status of “Velvet Vengeance”. My best wishes go to Jeremy Campbell and the cast/crew of the film which will meld genres by blending together elements of action and slasher with martial arts/fighting for a truly unique and horrific experience.
