ROTTEN TOMATOES: Eliza Dushku Gets Ready to Do the "Mamba"

Eliza Dushku Gets Ready to Do the "Mamba"

by Scott Weinberg | September 27, 2006

No stranger to horror-style movies ("Wrong Turn") and TV shows ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer"), Eliza Dushku has signed on to star in "Mamba," a teen-oriented thriller that sounds a lot like "Jumanji" meets "Stay Alive."

From IGN FilmForce and Variety: "Hottie Eliza Dushku, not seen on the big screen since 2003's "Wrong Turn," will star alongside "Poseidon" actor Mike Vogel in the new teen-centric thriller "Mamba."

Dushku and Vogle, says industry mag Variety, will headline the flick which follows a group of surfers who find an old satanic board game called Mamba. As you might imagine, when a person loses in the game, they die a terrible death... do not pass go, do not collect $200.

Filming will reportedly begin Monday in northern Spain's Basque Country and continue for the next eight weeks. The director is newbie Spanish helmer Alvaro de Arminan."

I like Dushku and am glad that she's finally making something new. I don't know how good this is going to be though.

Dushku is hot, but this sounds like a crap idea for a movie

I agree. Dushku is hot, but this will be straight-to-video. Urgg. She has so much potential, but these b-movie gigs she's doing kills me.

I'm interested in just what kinds of scripts some of these actors get? I mean does she get any legitimate roles, or does he agent call her up everyday and say, "Hey just got an offer for you to star in Friday the 13th part 50, Sasquatch Mountain, or Attack of the hormonal honey bee, and this flick called Mamba, which I think is a dirty dancing spin off, which one you intrested in?"

20 bucks says the back of the DVD box will describe the film has having a "hip, young cast".
