New Trailer Has Abigail Breslin as Tyler Shields' 'Final Girl'

Clearly, Abigail Breslin is no longer the precocious little girl we fell in love with in Little Miss Sunshine, and her move from child actress to leading lady has been awkward and familiar. So while trying to figure out whether to be known for her dramatic chops or for being sexy, there have been a few missteps. One such error in judgement was a disturbing, topless photo spread (with lollipops!!) she did with style photographer Tyler Shields, who also happens to be her director on the horror film, Final Girl.

Shields is making his directorial debut and judging by this trailer he should probably stick with his day job. Stagey and lacking in personality, the shoestring budget is the most noticeable thing about it. But at the same time it's kind of fun to see Breslin as a girl hunting down and killing a bunch of murderous guys who mistake her for just another female victim, only to learn she's actually an assassin-in-training. Wes Bentley, Alexander Ludwig, Cameron Bright, and Shields' ex Francesca Eastwood (yep, she's Clint's daughter) co-star.

Final Girl has yet to gain a release date, and with the similarly-titled and themed Final Girls with Taissa Farmiga and Malin Akerman on the way it will be interesting to see if it ever does.

Wes Bentley, Francesca Eastwood and more join Abigail Breslin in 'Final Girl'

Tyler Shields' teen thriller Final Girl has always sounded like it could be a fun twist on the genre in the same way as All the Boys Love Mandy Lane, and with the latest additions to the cast it's only gotten better. The film stars Abigail Breslin as the so-called "final girl", which is generally the last woman standing at the end of a slasher movie. With Alexander Ludvig(The Hunger Games) already set to co-star, the latest to sign on are Wes Bentley, Francesca Eastwood, Connor Paulo(Gossip Girl), Logan Huffman(V), and Michael Trevino(The Vampire Diaries).

Bentley has been on a tear lately, with The Hunger Games under his belt and Terrence Malick's upcoming untitled film. He's also set to star in the Malick-produced Abraham Lincoln biopic, The Green Blade Rises. Eastwood is indeed one of Clint Eastwood's daughters, appearing on the E! reality show Mrs. Eastwood & Company(poor Clint). She also happens to be Shields' girlfriend, so he's obviously found another way of keeping her happy.

Breslin will play the loner Veronica, a shy and vulnerable new student at school which makes her the obvious target of a group of boys who lead girls into the woods to hunt and kill them for sport. When they get her alone, they discover that she's turned the tables on them. An assassin-in-training, she's chosen to make these boys her final test.

Abigail Breslin: Cold-blood killer? Sign me up.  Filming on Final Girl begins next month.
