Ventimiglia specialty is 'Pathology'April 4, 2007, ET
Milo Ventimiglia, one of the stars of NBC's "Heroes," has signed on
to topline Lakeshore Entertainment's horror thriller "Pathology."
Alyssa Milano, Lauren Lee Smith and Johnny Whitworth also have been
cast in the movie, which is being directed by Marc Schoelermann.
"Crank" filmmakers Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor are producing with Lakeshore's Tom Rosenberg and Gary Lucchesi. Written by Neveldine and Taylor, the story centers on a young intern (Ventimiglia) who is studying pathology at Philadelphia's University Hospital and encounters an attractive but murderous group of colleagues who have devised a deadly game to see who among them can commit the perfect murder, while the others compete to determine the cause of death. Milano will play Ventimiglia's fiancee, while Smith ("Trick 'r Treat") and Whitworth ("3:10 to Yuma") are the med students. The film is being released by MGM in the U.S., and Lakeshore will be introducing the film to international buyers at the Festival de Cannes market in May. Production is scheduled to begin in May. Ventimiglia, who plays the power-absorbing Peter Petrelli on "Heroes," was most recently seen on the big screen in "Rocky Balboa." He is repped by CAA. Milano, who starred in the long-running television series "Charmed," recently completed production on the indie feature "The Blue Hour." She is repped by CAA and attorney Bill Skrzyniarz.
