Victoria Argent Cut From The Collection

It happens sometimes in Hollywood.

An actor can work on a project for weeks or months and then find their performance cut from the final edit.

For Teen Wolf Meanie Mom Eaddy Mays, her performance in Marcus Dunstan’s The Collection wasn't just cut, it was also recast and re-shot.

Mays’ reveals on her Tumblr site that almost all the footage shot in Atlanta in 2010 was redone sometime later in Los Angeles.

She had filmed for several weeks as a tough chick mercenary sent in to stop The Collector, a vicious serial killer who devises overly complicated and sadistic ways to kill his victims.

Mays says she was replaced because she looked too much like the film’s primary victim –
 * Turns out, after weeks of shooting a super fun role, the powers-that-be decided to reshoot the scenes with all of us mercenaries and replace me with a huge, bald dude (who didn’t look so much like the red-headed, short-hair lead girl!) A bunch of you guys have tweeted, etc that you’ve seen me in the trailer for the film - yay! thanks! …but, its not me!…lol…it just looks like me! Well, a younger, tinier version of me ;-)


 * Still! ”The Collection” is a great scary flick with a lot more ‘thriller’ genre elements to it than most horror movies. Its not JUST blood & guts (tho there’s plenty of that!) Go check it out…if you dare ;-)

May’s isn’t the first actor to find herself out of the picture.

Some of the most famous examples include –


 * Toby Maguire: Cut from the movie Life of Pi and replaced with Rafe Spall


 * Eric Stoltz: Filmed for a while as Marty McFly in Back to the Future before reshoots with Michael J. Fox


 * Stuart Townsend: Played Aragon in Lord of the Rings was replaced by Viggo Mortensen and all the Townsend scenes were re-shot

The Collection hits American theaters on November 30th.

Jeff Davis Feeds STEREK

A twitter exchange between Jeff Davis and another writer/producer has STEREK fandom all excited.

Apparently Executive Producer of the CW show ARROW, Greg Berlanti, broached the subject of the Stiles/Derek pairing recently.

‏: @JeffDavis75 - '''The other night @GBerlanti asked me when Sterek is happening. You too, Greg? You too? #teenwolf #arrow'''

This tweet set off a chain of conversation that not only fanned the STEREK flames but also built a brand new ship.


 * @GBerlanti - @JeffDavis75 what can I say, I'm a fan of great tv... And a Sterek pairing would be legendary. Ps. Working on my fanfic as we speak.


 * @JeffDavis75 - @GBerlanti I ship Derek and Oliver. Their chin stubble would ignite into flame every time they kiss. I will call them Doliver. #arrowolf

Then Zap2It Editor, Carina MacKenzie joined the fun.


 * @cadlymack - @GBerlanti @JeffDavis75 yes, so that we can have an epic nail-biter "WHO WILL STILES CHOOSE?" finale.


 * @JeffDavis75 - @cadlymack @GBerlanti Careful what you wade into, Carina. These ship wars leave casualties.

So it seems STEREK is very much on the mind of the Teen Wolf creator just days before Season 3 shooting begins.
