Perlman Will Sell the Dead

Dominic Monaghan has signed up to play a gravedigger in Glass Eye Pix I Sell the Dead. Ron Perlman is still in negotitations but is expected to play a mysterious priest who takes confession from Monaghan's character. Monaghan and Larry Fessenden will portray London corpse traders who perform services for an aristocratic doctor. According to the Hollywood Reporter Angus Scrimm known for playing The Tall Man in Phantasm is in talks to play the doctor.

Production on the film is scheduled to begin in May in New York under Glen McQuaid. This will be his feature film debut after directing another gravedigger inspired short The Resurrection Apprentice. Somehow they are going to have to do a lot of time juggling to get the film shot after Monaghans Lost and before Perlmans Hellboy 2 filming.

So if Perlman does not appear in the film because of scheduling it won't be that big of a surprise. Glass Eye Pix are really a very incestous bunch so don't be shocked if we see some more familiar faces pop up in the film.
