Roger Jackson — best known for being the voice of one of the genre’s most iconic villains, Scream’s Ghostface — will be taking on the role of Rabbit in the upcoming Twisted Childhood Universe sequel Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 3.
Jackson, who has voiced Ghostface since all the way back in 1996 with the very first Scream film, will voice the character, with Josephine Blazier in the lead role of MoMo and George Drogo as Winnie the Pooh himself, Dread Central reported. Returning actors include Lewis Santer as Tigger, Eddy MacKenzie as Piglet, and Marcus Massey as Owl.
Production on the film is set to start next month, with Scott Chambers, producer of the first two Blood and Honey films, taking the helm as director for this installment. Richard Stanley, who wrote the script for the 2019 Nicolas Cage body horror film Color Out of Space, is writing the script — which could mean great things for this new film.
Rhys Frake-Waterfield, who created the TCU and directed the first two films, will produce the upcoming reimagining of the Hundred Acre Wood.
According to Dread Central, things are getting intense in Blood and Honey 3. “The tone of the new film is said to be darker, heightened, and more serious than the previous entries,” the outlet revealed alongside the news of Jackson’s casting.
Jackson is a seasoned voice actor, even outside of his work in one of the most well-known horror franchises of all time. You can hear his voice as one of the best characters in The Powerpuff Girls, none other than Mojo Jojo, as well as in various other projects like Robot Chicken, The Wild Thornberrys Movie, and Devil May Cry.
The TCU is the brainchild of Jagged Edge Productions and ITN Studios, and aims to reinvent our favorite childhood classics, turning the lovable stars of those stories into brutal killing machines. Seems like they’re doing a decent job of it at this point.
No word yet on when Blood and Honey 3 will be released, but not gonna lie, we’re a little hungry for the sweet taste of death.
