Lucy to star in Lesbian Vampire Killers!

Wigan-born actress Lucy Gaskell has landed a frightfully good role in an intriguingly-titled new British film.
Lesbian Vampire Killers may sound like a low-budget blue movie – exactly what the writers were aiming for if the movie rumour mill is to be believed – but in reality it is the latest vehicle for current British comedy darlings James Corden and Matthew Horne.
Lucy, 27, a former St Peter's High School pupil, will star alongside the duo, the brains behind the hit BBC comedy Gavin and Stacey, in the spoof-horror set deep in the Welsh countryside.
She said: "The title is quite provocative isn't it!
"Everyone's reaction when they hear it, well most women are like, 'Oh, that sounds interesting' and most men are like, 'Cool when's that coming out'."
Without giving too much away, Lesbian Vampire Killers focuses upon two friends, played by Corden and Horne, who find themselves trapped in a teenage boy's fantasy, or perhaps nightmare, when a lads' weekend away turns into a horror-fest.
Instead of evenings in the local pub, the pair, Fletch and Jimmy, find themselves turfed out onto the moor by the men of a remote Welsh village as a sacrifice to the gang of female vampires who have enslaved
their women folk.
Cue much hilarity and, no doubt, a little bloodshed. Lucy, who plays Judy, Horne's character Jimmy's ex-girlfriend, said: "When I read the script I just thought it was really funny and then I heard that James and Matthew were going to be in it.
