In 2009, we traced the steps of the Campbell family in “The Haunting in Connecticut.” On February 1, 2013, we travel to Georgia where the Wyrick family discovers they aren’t the only ones living in an historic home in “The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia.”
Plot:
“Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia” introduces us to the Wyrick family. Andy Wyrick, his wife Lisa and their daughter Heidi, move into an old home in Georgia. Lisa’s sister, Joyce, soon joins the family in the home.
The family begins life as usual, until they discover they aren’t the only ones living there. From deep underneath the ground comes a secret discovery that threatens anyone who gets in the way.
The family will have to relive injustices from the deep southern past. Will they have to pay the price for them as well?
Cast:
Chad Michael Murray is a young actor from Buffalo, New York. A heartthrob on “Dawson’s Creek” in 1998 got the ball rolling for his career. He is associated with parts in “Gilmore Girls” and “One Tree Hill” from the television portion of his repertoire. Murray has starred in movies such as “Freaky Friday,” “A Cinderella Story” and “House of Wax.” Murray portrays “Thatcher” in the short film, “The Carrier.” In an Indie film created in 2012, Murray appears as Jamie Tworkowski.
Abigail Spencer is busy this year. She will be appearing in the 2013 release, “Oz: The Great and Powerful” and “Kilimanjaro,” also being released in 2013. Ms. Spencer has been in many television series, including her earlier start in “All My Children,” a popular soap. Cast in various parts in “Ghost Whisperer,” “CSI” and in “Castle,” Spencer has made a name for her in both television and in movies.
Born in Portland, Oregon, Katee Sackhoff was working as a waitress before she got her big break into show business. Known for movies such as “Halloween: Resurrection,” “White Noise 2: The Light,” and two “Battlestar Galactica” films, Katee will join the cast of “The Haunting in Connecticut: Ghosts of Georgia.” Katee’s film experience doesn’t end with these few titles, however she is most known for the roles she played in the titles listed.
Emily Alyn Lind plays the role of Heidi Wyrick in “The Haunting in Connecticut 2.” Her young age shouldn’t fool viewers, as she has a long list of television and movie roles behind her. “Movie 43,” released in theaters in 2013, “All American Christmas Carol,” released in 2013, “Mockingbird,” is in post-production and an untitled Larry Dorf and Ben Falcone project for television is in the works. This is merely the top of the list of roles Emily has finished.
Cicely Tyson is still acting, beautifully I might add. She will play the role of Mama Kay in “The Haunting in Connecticut 2.” Cicely Tyson has played in award-winning roles throughout her career and sees fit to appear in “The Haunting in Connecticut” as well.
Behind the Scenes
“The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia” is written by David Coggeshall. David was the head writer for television series episodes, such as “Watch Over Me” and “Desire.” David is currently working on a project titled, “Solo 2,” that carries no information at this time.
Director Tom Elkins rounds off the cast and crew titles. He is known for his role as announcer for the 1985 film, “Vision Quest.” Elkins takes on a new role as director for “The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia.”
Curtain Call:
The film, “The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia” is under new management. “The Haunting in Connecticut” was directed by Peter Cornwell and was written by Adam Simon and Tim Metcalfe. The first film received reviews that didn’t put it in the best light.
“The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia” has a chance to succeed where the predecessor failed with a new writer and director. The actors can only reflect what the writing presents, so we’ll see how the new movie fairs.
The first film hailed a $77.5 million paycheck and I guess this merits another try in the franchise. Look for “The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia” in theaters on February 1, 2013.
