WAY DOWN IN CHINATOWN EXCLUSIVE CASTING ANNOUNCEMENT

NANCY WOLFE (Susan Atkins/Sexy Sadie from Helter Skelter) joins the cast of WAY DOWN IN CHINATOWN

The Way Down in Chinatown production team – being independent filmmaker Eric Michael Kochmer, Angel Corbin, Maria Olsen and Jonathan Haloossim - are thrilled to welcome Nancy Wolfe of Helter Skelter fame to the cast.  Wolfe has bagged the supporting role of Lindie in Way Down in Chinatown, the utterly creepy and surprisingly intense noir horror feature that will soon be unleashed on horror fans.

Wolfe caused major waves in horror / serial killer movie circles with her eerily terrifying portrayal of Susan Atkins “Sexy Sadie” in the 1976 made-for-television movie Helter Skelter, which tells the story of the gruesome Los Angeles murders masterminded by Charles Manson.  Neither the Tate/LaBianca murders nor Manson himself is ever out of public consciousness for long, nor should Wolfe’s portrayal of Atkins, one of The Manson Family ringleaders, be.  Her performance in Helter Skelter has, in fact, been described Emmy-worthy, and Eric and Team Chinatown cannot wait to work with this talented and dedicated actress.

Wolfe is also known for her appearances on the popular 70s TV shows Baretta and Barnaby Jones as well as for her roles in other made-for-television movies including Journey from Darkness and The Ordeal of Patty Hearst.  Horror fans may recognize her from her roles in The Attic Expeditions, where she starred along with Seth Green, and The Intruders, where she played Steven Bauer’s mother.

Way Down in Chinatown promises to be a unique entry into the annals of 21st century horror as it draws heavily on influences evident in the genre almost a hundred years ago.  To be filmed entirely in black and white, Kochmer’s apocalyptic tale will borrow look and style from such classics as Lang’s Metropolis and Wiene’s The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.  Way Down in Chinatown will bring together elements of horror, film noir, science fiction and intense, character driven drama to bring audiences a film experience they will never forget.  The film is presently in pre-production and will shoot in Los Angeles this summer.

The Way Down in Chinatown production team includes Jonathan Haloossim of 22MM Productions as well as MOnsterworks66’s Angel Corbin (DisOrientation) and Maria Olsen (Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief, The Haunting of Whaley House and Paranormal Activity 3).
