Go behind the scenes on the Vancouver set of horror flick remake

Andrea Martin, who starred in the 1974 cult classic Black Christmas, also stars in an updated version of the movie currently being shot in Vancouver.

Cameras are rolling in Vancouver on an update of the 1974 horror movie Black Christmas - and canada.com has your first look at the female cast.

Writers/directors James Wong and Glen Morgan are shooting the new version of Bob Clark’s cult classic with hot young stars like Michelle Trachtenberg and Lacey Chabert. Andrea Martin, who appeared in the original, also stars in the feature.

It is due in theatres this holiday season.

Black Christmas is the story of a sorority house terrorized by a mysterious caller who kills girls off one by one during the Christmas break.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead, currently seen in Final Destination 3, insisted it is not necessarily a remake.

“It’s interesting, because it’s sort of both a prequel and a sequel [to the original],” she said in an interview. “The first chunk of the film follows the childhood and back story of Billy, who’s the crazed killer. And then it picks up with the girls in the sorority house in present day, and Billy comes back for a visit. Then there are a lot of twists and disturbing turns, and things that you wouldn’t expect.”

In addition to Martin, the original Black Christmas starred Margot Kidder and Olivia Hussey. The cast of the new version includes Katie Cassidy (daughter of ‘70s heartthrob David Cassidy) and Oliver Hudson (son of Goldie Hawn and brother of Kate Hudson).

Filming is expected to wrap up in Vancouver next month.
