Although IMDb doesn’t currently list any upcoming projects for Chloë, it isn’t to say she doesn’t have any. Some of you will perhaps recall how we in September reported of an untitled Nick Cannon (short) film – now titled The Killing Room – that was to shoot in Louisiana at the end of October 2007. Well, although IMDb makes no mention of this project in Chloë’s filmography, Cannon, one of the film’s stars, recently confirmed her participation in the film in an interview with MTV. From MTV.com:

MTV: What’s next for you?
Cannon: So many things. … Film-wise, I just finished a film called The Killing Room, with Chloë Sevigny and Timothy Hutton. That’s a project I wanted to sink my teeth into.

MTV: I heard about that. It sounds like Saw but with a government conspiracy.
Cannon: Yeah! It has a Saw feel, but I’d say it’s a little more complex than that. It has a secret government background. But realistically, it’s four actors in one room just bouncing off each other, and it’s amazing. It’s method-style [acting], one room, theatrical, and it’s something you haven’t seen in a very long time.

The film is directed by Jonathan Liebesman, and also co-stars Clea DuVall, Peter Stormare and Timothy Hutton. The film’s IMDb page makes no mention of the film being a drama short, which would imply that The Killing Room is a full feature film after all. No release date(s) have yet been set for the film except that it will be out sometime in 2008. Although the film is categorized under “drama/thriller”, judging by the film’s name (as well as earlier title, Manbreak) and Cannon’s Saw comparison, I am expecting at least some gore and horror.

I’ll keep you posted in case any more information on this project of Chloë’s turns up!

My goodness, she’s busy right now! As the rumor mill about Chloë potentially contesting for the female lead in Terminator continues, The Shreveport Times reports that an untitled Nick Cannon short film will be shooting in Shreveport, Louisiana on October 29-30 2007 – and the film will reportedly star Chloë Sevigny.

The film is reportedly being referred to as the “Untitled Manbreak Project”, and will also star Clea DuVall, Timothy Hutton, Wes Bentley and Cannon himself. Again, I’ll keep you posted.

Also, I think the Feast of Love rumor can be considered false. As I have heard absolutely nothing further of Chloë supposed involvement in the film, I think the online news website that reported it had a bit of a mix-up going on; the film involves a character by the name Chloe, not starring Chloë Sevigny. The Chloe in Feast of Love is portrayed by Alexa Davalos. There, that makes more sense, doesn’t it?
