Pictured above is the first still from writer/director Rob Hall’s upcoming sequel ChromeSkull: Laid to Rest 2. The film, which began principal photography this week in Los Angeles, stars Thomas Dekker (Nightmare on Elm Street), Danielle Harris (Halloween), Michael Biehn (Terminator), Brian Austin Green (proprietor of Megan Fox’s vagina) , and Nick Principe as ChromeSkull.

Hall says (via press release):

We’re doubling the carnage and doubling the fun. I know we raised the bar on the last one but people have no idea what’s in store in that department for the sequel- it’s the original and THEN SOME.

I’m so happy to have such a stellar cast involved and I think [producer/cowriter Kevin Bocarde] and I have come up with a cool way to bring Chromey back without going all nutty and breaking our own rules.

Laid to Rest starred Bobbi Sue Luther as a prostitute who wakes up in a coffin with temporary amnesia and must evade the sadistic killer who abducted her. Aside from ChromeSkull’s shiny noggin, his shoulder mounted camcorder differentiates him from other movie maniacs.

ChromeSkull: Laid to Rest 2 is slated for a 2011 Halloween release.

Danielle Harris and Bobbi Sue Luther both made the cut in Clatto’s list of The 20 Hottest Women Working in Horror/Sci-fi Today.
