HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—As if its cast wasn't hot enough, Haunting Kira broke the news Thursday night on Twitter that Joanna Angel will be joining the independent horror film's roster.
As the head of the adult production company Burning Angel Entertainment, Joanna Angel has directed more than 20 films and appeared in over 60.
The award-winning pioneer and princess of punk porn joins the likes of Rachel Grubb (Strip Club Slasher), Kathleen Kinmont (Bride of Re-Animator), Monique Dupree (Skeleton Key 2) and Donna Hamblin (Killer Biker Chicks) in the project that was written and will be directed by special effects artist Teresa Fahs of Gorify.com fame. Also on board is Ari Lehman, who is best known as the first actor to play Jason Voorhees in the "Friday the 13th" franchise.
Haunting Kira, which refers to itself as a “Women in Horror” production, tells the story of a ghost that has reanimated a rotting corpse and roams the streets of Las Vegas.
"Could we do a Sin City zombie film without at least one porn star?" producer Chad Clinton Freeman jokingly asks. "Seriously though, Joanna Angel is a perfect fit for our film. Haunting Kira is an exploration into diversity, individuality and identity and she's an entrepreneur that got where she is by doing things her own way."
Joanna will play a character named Cindy Sinn, who seduces another female character in the stall of a bar bathroom.
"As those who know my art work can attest, I'm committed to realism," Fahs said. "So when it came to casting the right actress for our hot girl-on-girl sex scene, Joanna was the natural choice. I'm delighted to be working on this project with yet another free-thinking, gutsy woman that I genuinely respect."
Specializing in parody, alt and horror, Joanna's film credits include Porny Monster, Repenetrator, The XXXorcist, Joanna's Angels, Punk Rock Pussycat Dolls and L.A. Pink.
The Rutgers University graduate, who has called the Suicide Girls "the McDonald's of alt porn," most recently appeared in Sean Cain's indie horror film Breath of Hate.
The F-Team (Fahs and Freeman) released news of Joanna joining their cast via their Twitter accounts and the film's website, www.hauntingkira.com.
