\nRoswell star to land in Man.<\/p>\nBy PAT ST. GERMAIN, ENTERTAINMENT REPORTER
\nRoswell star Brendan Fehr will be spending some quality time in Manitoba this month, working on the feature film Wilderness Station.<\/p>\nThe 23-year-old actor is set to play a brutish 1850s homesteader in the movie — a major departure from his brooding good-guy role as an alien on The WB’s Roswell.<\/p>\n
“That’s why we took it, something different to do,” Fehr’s manager Jim Sheasgreen says.<\/p>\n
Wilderness Station, based on a short story by Alice Munro, is about a young woman who agrees to marry a homesteader named Simon (Fehr) so she can get out of an Ontario orphanage. The bride eventually falls in love with Simon’s younger brother and, after a woodcutting “accident,” confesses to murdering her husband.<\/p>\n
Sheasgreen says Fehr, who was in Winnipeg last month to co-host the 2001 Blizzard Awards gala with Terry David Mulligan, will be back in town for wardrobe fittings tomorrow.<\/p>\n
Then he’s off to New York City this weekend to do the talk-show circuit to promote his upcoming feature The Forsaken, in which he plays a vampire hunter. The thriller opens in theatres April 27.<\/p>\n
A graduate of Mennonite Brethren Collegiate Institute, Fehr has been living in Los Angeles since 1998. He’s just finished the second season of Roswell, and will begin a new film in L.A after Wilderness Station finishes shooting in late April.<\/p>\n
Anne Wheeler (Better than Chocolate, The Sleep Room) is directing Wilderness Station, which is a Credo Entertainment\/CineGroupe co-production. The film is to begin shooting next week in Minnedosa and at other sites in Manitoba.<\/p>\n
A complete casting announcement is expected this week.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
