So the rumours yesterday of the Day of the Dead casting were spot on, although it seems that most other people also picked up that Mira Sorvino was also set to star...unfortunately not, and most people can't figure out how that name came out when the real casting was in fact Mena Suvari. How could they have done that?

Alongside the Rhames and Suvari news Blackfilm through Arrow in the Head have some additional announcements:

Michael Welch, Annalynne McCord, Stark Sands, and Nick Cannon

Still no word on how closely the remake will follow the original, if at all. Nice casting in the two leads though, I am a fan of both actors, and for entirely different reasons!
