According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jensen Ackles, who co-stars as Dean Winchester on The CW's hit horror drama Supernatural, is set to star in My Blood Valentine 3-D, a remake of the 1981 horror film. Patrick Lussier will direct, and Jack Murray, John Dunning and Andre Link are producing. Production begins May 12; the film is set to release January 23, 2009 under the Lionsgate Films logo. Ackles' character, Tom, returns home ten years after a massacre occurred in the town of Harmony, MO. He reunites with his childhood sweetheart, but finds he's a suspect in a murder. The original film was about a massacre in a Nova Scotia mining town.

Jensen Ackles' previous horror film credits include the 2005 DVD flick Devour. He also stars in the upcoming independent film Ten Inch Hero, which has been gathering a following through screenings and word-of-mouth as it seeks a distributor. He is best known for Supernatural and his roles on the genre TV series Dark Angel and Smallville. For three years he played Eric Brady on the soap opera Days of Our Lives.

Recently it was announced that Ackles' co-star Jared Padalecki, who plays Sam Winchester, will be starring in a remake of the horror classic Friday the 13th, with a February 13, 2009 release. Looks like both Winchester actors will be battling evil and taking names on the small and the big screen.
