Credit due: Tara Reid’s amazing work ethic is a talent we can all admire

I’m going to allow you to into somewhat secret right here. At any time when I’m feeling blue, one factor that can cheer me up with out fail is taking a look at Tara Reid’s IMDb web page. Not essentially for the movies that she’s made, however for the movies that she’s about to make.

Like Eric Roberts earlier than her, Reid’s IMDb web page incorporates a protracted, lengthy checklist of flicks in pre-production. And whereas Roberts might need her purely on numbers (he at present has some 70 movies which are both filming or in pre- or post-production), Reid arguably has him on decisions. She has a comparably piffling 18 titles in pre-production, virtually all of them appear precision-designed to stretch the boundaries of plausibility to their very limits.

There isn’t room to undergo a blow-by-blow of Reid’s upcoming work, however the ones I’m most trying ahead to seeing are Bloodthirst (the place she performs a vampire queen), Mayday 2 (the place she performs an air marshal on a flight that turns into overrun with zombies), Aquatic Siege (“Sooner or later, legal guidelines skyrocket. With out room, the federal government deports convicts into the ocean”), and Air Pressure Z (the place there are additionally zombies, and in addition Tara Reid is the president). There may be additionally a movie referred to as Ghostkiller, which has a plot far too convoluted to get into now, however for sure the lead character known as Kyle Ghostkiller.

Nonetheless, the most recent addition to Reid’s slate of forthcoming movies is arguably the perfect. As revealed by Selection, Tara Reid has simply signed on to play a British MI6 agent in a movie referred to as Chilly Solar.

Billed as “Cagney and Lacey with a distinction”, Chilly Solar will see Reid taking part in an inexperienced spy referred to as Marsha Ravencourt, who groups up with an equally inexperienced Interpol agent to take down a global gang of murderous criminals. It’s clearly too early to say who this gang of murderous criminals will likely be, however the solid does embody Vicki Michelle from ’Allo ’Allo and three totally different former EastEnders actors, certainly one of whom is Shaun Williamson. Name it wishful considering should you like, however this does make it sound as if Chilly Solar will comprise a scene the place Tara Reid will fistfight Barry from EastEnders, and if that isn’t going to get bums on seats then I don’t know what is going to.

And, whereas Chilly Solar does have the potential to be completely preposterous, I do genuinely hope it succeeds. Tara Reid won't ever be an A-list star, however you can't for a second query her work ethic. Her films may not be classics, however the lady is knuckling down and making a dwelling. Will I ever watch Child Bulldog, the movie she made in 2020 with Dean Cain? No. Will I ever watch Celebration Bus to Hell, the 2017 horror movie a few coach that turns into overrun with satanic worshippers? No. Will I ever watch Andy the Speaking Hedgehog, the place she performs a fairy that befriends a speaking hedgehog? Really, I'd, as a result of I have to know that it actually exists.

The purpose is, Tara Reid isn’t afraid to do the work. And whereas she would possibly at present discover herself caught in a spiral of infinite zero-budget zombie movies and issues that comprise characters referred to as Kyle Ghostkiller, it would solely take one film to interrupt her out. And, who is aware of, that film could be Chilly Solar. Particularly if she will get to punch Barry from EastEnders within the face in it.
