Brian Austin Green has joined the cast of Eat Your Heart Out, the horror-comedy musical that has already wrapped production and is now in post-production. The film, which mixes original songs with practical effects, was shot over five weeks in and around Eugene, Oregon.
Tania Raymonde leads the ensemble, which also includes Jesse Rath, Emily Kimball, Breanna Yde, Rob Huebel, Steve Agee, Clare Grant and Brendan Sexton III. For Raymonde, the draw was immediate: she has described the project as a rare chance to hit two bucket-list goals at once, singing like a rock star and taking on zombies in the same movie.
That is not just a gimmick. Eat Your Heart Out is set in a small town preparing for a major music festival, where a risky new party drug begins spreading among young locals and starts producing uncontrollable rage, overwhelming strength and a sudden craving for human flesh. As best friends Jules and Rory prepare for their punk band’s first high-profile gig, the story pushes its horror and comedy through a musical setup that gives the chaos a beat.
The casting news matters because it confirms the shape of a finished ensemble project rather than a work-in-progress. Taylor Morden, who directed from a script he co-wrote with Emily Claire, has said the film brings together practical effects, absurd comedy, musical numbers and a heartfelt story about friendship and finding your place in the world. He also knows the territory: in 2020, he helmed The Last Blockbuster.
The unresolved question is release timing. Eat Your Heart Out is done shooting, but no release date has been set in the available information, leaving the film to build attention in post-production while its cast keeps growing in visibility. For now, Brian Austin Green is part of a movie that seems built to turn a grim setup into something loud, odd and hard to ignore.
