Production has begun in Vancouver on “Human,” a sci-fi cop show pilot from J.J. Abrams (“LOST”) and J.H. Wyman (“Fringe”), starring Minka Kelly (The Roommate) and Karl Urban (Dredd) as LAPD officers working with android partners.
According to The Wrap, Kelly is playing Valerie Stahl, a uniformed cop with good morals and a puppy dogs and ice cream outlook on life. Urban co-stars as John Kennex, an embittered veteran officer critically injured during a mission gone wrong.
Kelly is coming off the failed ABC reboot series “Charlie’s Angeles.” She is best known for playing cheerleader Lyla Garrity on “Friday Night Lights” and for her leading role in Screen Gems’ psycho-bitch thriller The Roommate.

TV Guide reports that Lenz will play a sexy former finance executive named Cassie, looking for peace and quiet in Dexter’s neighborhood. The character will be introduced in the fourth episode of show’s supposed final season.
Lenz has not starred in a horror project since 1996’s Thinner, a crappy adaptation of the awesome Stephen King novel in which a fat man is cursed to die slowly through weight loss by a gypsy for running over and killing his daughter with his car while getting blown by his wife.

Sure, the misfits may find their heads dunked in school toilets or encouraged to commit suicide through social media, but the beautiful and popular must deal with being loved and wanted by everyone.

The movie marks the debut of Project Green Screen, an interactive venture giving fans the opportunity to participate in the movie making process, from acting to creating props for the sisters to use and a giant monster for them to fight.
Rodriguez explains:
I didn’t hear anything about green screening yourself into an Avellan Twin threesome, but this still sounds pretty cool.
The Avellan sisters broke into Hollywood as the “Crazy Twin Babysitters” in the 2007 Rodriguez/ Quentin Tarantino collaboration Grindhouse. They have since starred together in Parallel Media’s The Black Waters of Echo’s Pond and Rodriguez’s Machete and its upcoming sequel Machete Kills.

Does photographer Jonathan Leder have to choke a bitch?
