Dean Cain Tagged Articles at Cinematical

It would be great to see the old Superman, Dean Cain, tamed by the purr of a Jaguar, but Maneater is a little less Hall & Oates and a little more blood and guts. The Hollywood Reporter posts that Dean Cain, Conrad Janis (The Cable Guy), Stephen Lunsford (Bratz), Walter Phelan (House of 1000 Corpses), Maximillian Roeg (7th Heaven), and Lacy Phillips (Pushing Twilight) have signed up to take on the Native American legend, Wendigo.

As Elisabeth told us last month, director Michael Emanuel's version of Wendigo will center on a small-town sheriff who used to be an FBI profiler. When a bunch of strange murders pop up, he puts his old talents to the test, "only to discover that the monster he's profiling might be himself." See, the Wendigo spirit is said to enter through acts of cannibalism or dreams, so we'll have to wait and see if someone slips him a piece human meat, or he gets pulled into a bad dreamworld.

There's no word on who is playing what role, but IMDb does have the character names listed. Seeing that Cain's at the top, I think it's safe to assume that he's our Wendigo dude.

There's all sorts of films that focus on reunions and old friends reconnecting. You can dip into the world of The Big Chill; you can drool over the Cowboy in Romy and Michele's High School Reunion; you can go back to camp with Mike Binder's Indian Summer. They reveal the ways people change, how innocence gets lost, and the insidious buzz of nostalgia. And now, reunions are going to get a bit more deceitful than little lies about post-it notes.

The Hollywood Reporter posts that Dean Cain and Jay Thomas are in final negotiations to star with Teri Polo (who has already signed on) in a new ensemble film called Material Lies from writer/director Katherine Starr. Cain is set to play a struggling actor named Josh who learns that he has leukemia. Upon hearing this news, he decides to set up a reunion weekend for him and his college friends, which includes his former girlfriend Ginni (Polo), who he hopes to reconnect with.

But here's the kicker: "He plans to portray himself as wealthy and successful, and Frank (Thomas) agrees to help him." Well, I guess if you're going to concoct a scam to get the girl, it's good to have the leukemia back-up when the plan ultimately backfires in your face. How mad can someone get when they hear the big secret? Production on the film will begin this June in Malibu.
