Peter Steele will be joining the cast of the new vampire movie,
"Tao of M", this August.
Steele will be taking on the role of
Viktor Baine, the vampire who sires
Midael, another vampire who terrorizes New Orleans, played by
Steve Blaze (
LILLIAN AXE,
NEAR LIFE EXPERIENCE).
Eric Morris also stars, and members of
TWISTED SISTER are slated to portray a group of "false priests" who get on
Midael's bad side, according to
Fangoria.
James L. Bills is directing the hi-def production, produced by
Milena Rimassa-Merrill and featuring makeup FX by
Matt Green, director of
"Vicious".
"Tao of M" is reportedly being shot by
Velvet Life Productions (the production company formed by
Blaze,
Morris and
Bills) in a joint venture with
Isis Films. Shooting for
"Tao of M", which is based on the half-hour indie film
"Slayer Zed and the City of the Dead", began in early July, and the moviemakers are aiming for a world premiere this Halloween.
Rimassa-Merrill, President/CEO of
Isis Films, took the pre-production trailer for the film, as well as some promotional material, to the the
Cannes Film Festival 2005, where it was reportedly well received.
