Roger Jackson is going from portraying one iconic horror character to another… well, kind of.
According to Dread Central, Jackson, who is most-notably the voice of Ghostface in the Scream franchise and can be heard in Scream 7 in theaters now, has joined the cast of Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 3. Jackson will take on the voice role of Rabbit, the newest iconic Pooh character to join the growing franchise.
Jackson joins a cast that includes Shayli Reagan, Lauren Staerck, FiFi Anicah, Zena Donnelly, Kira Reed Lorsch, Belle Taylor, Jon Callaway, Fyn Phoenix, Paul Black, Leo Harris, and Richard Stanley.
George Drogo will portray Winnie-the-Pooh in the upcoming sequel, alongside Eddy MacKenzie as Piglet, Lewis Santer as Tigger, Marcus Massey as Owl, and Karol Stanisz as Rabbit. Josephine Blazier will lead the film as MOMO.
Scott Chambers, who produced the first two Blood and Honey films and directed Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, is stepping in to direct the franchise’s third installment. Series creator Rhys Frake-Waterfield will remain involved as a producer.
The script was written by Richard Stanley (Color Out of Space, Hardware) and will expand the dark reimagining of the Hundred Acre Wood by introducing additional characters from the classic stories, including Rabbit, the heffalumps, and the woozles. Eeyore as well as Kanga and Roo have also been rumored to appear as allies to Christopher Robin.
