'Twilight' star Ashley Greene has 'Apparition'

Thursday, November 5, 2009 at 5:54PM | By

"Twilight" girl Ashley Greene (she playes Alice Cullen in the series) will soon be haunted in Dark Castle's upcoming film "Apparition," which Todd Lincoln is writing and directing for Joel Silver.

Variety says "Apparition" follows a young couple haunted by some kind of supernatural presence generated during a college experiment. Ahhhh, yes, it sure is time for another haunting story, right?

The trade also says the whole thing is inspired by true events, which is reason enough for me to hate this film already. Anyway, production will kick off early next year.

Greene, who will next be seen in "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" and then in "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse," also recently wrapped "Skateland" and "Warrior." Yeah, she's got decent looks alright.
