In what can only be described as twistedly brilliant casting, adult film performer-turned-mainstream actress Sasha Grey has attached to the upcoming horror film "Hallows," playing the role of Eve, a Bible-wielding teen who takes a Jonas brother-style "purity pledge," refusing to have sex before marriage. "We toyed with offering Sasha another--sexier--role in the film," says Writer/Producer/Director Richard O'Sullivan. "But she fell in love with the idea of playing against type, portraying the exact opposite of what the public perceives her to be." The twenty-two-year-old Grey, who won rave reviews last year for her lead performance in "The Girlfriend Experience" (directed by Oscar-winner Steven Soderbergh of "Traffic" and "Ocean's Eleven" fame), first gained show biz noteriety as a porn star, then as a fashion model for American Apparel.
She has quickly earned a reputation as "the thinking man's sex symbol." "It's not what you would expect from Sasha," says Producer John Edmonds Kozma.
