Jeepers creepers, Javier Botet has a new role…

The 45-year-old Spanish actor has been cast in Suretone Pictures and Lionsgate’s adventure horror thriller Creepers. 

Javier BotetBotet, often cast in creature roles, will star opposite Jake Manley, Adeline Rudolph, Francesca Reale, Laurence O’Fuarain, Nicholas Hamilton, Skylan Brooks and Kai Caster.

The film, which begins production this week in Bulgaria, is directed by music video and commercial filmmaker Marc Klasfeld.

Creepers follows a group of young urban explorers who plan to investigate an old, boarded-up, seemingly abandoned hotel, only to encounter danger at every turn in the form of a competing group of hostile urban explorers seeking to find a legendary hidden treasure – as well as a supernatural being who wreaks havoc on all.

Botet, who has Marfan Syndrome, will play the supernatural Pale Creature whose domain is the abandoned Paragon Hotel.

“We have assembled a truly amazing cast for Creepers who share the incredible passion of myself and Jordan to bring this one-of-a-kind horror-adventure story to life,” said Klasfeld. “After so many painstaking years in development to get our script right, to be completely honest, I find myself enormously excited to begin shooting.”

Added producer Jordan Schur, CEO and Chairman of Suretone Pictures, “We couldn’t have asked for a more outstanding cast or a more accomplished crew as we launch principal photography here in Bulgaria this week. Creepers is up and running with everyone amped, and it’s going to be quite the ride.”

Botet is a worldwide reference in horror and fantasy movies. Botet’s credits include It and It Chapter Two, Mama, Crimson Peak, The Conjuring 2, the first three films in the REC franchise, Witching and Bitching and Game of Thrones. His comedy credits include El vecino and Cámera Café and Golem.

Target has sets its (bulls)eye on Shakira…

Shakira’s new Target television spot will premiere during the 56th Grammy Awards on January 26, the same day her fans will be able to pre-order the album only at Target and Target.com.

The commercial, which will feature Shakira doing her trademark hip-shaking, was directed by Marc Klasfeld and was filmed in a small town outside of Barcelona, Spain, where the singer currently lives.

The Target edition of Shakira features three exclusive tracks that the artist says she penned specifically for the retailer.

“With three special bonus songs on our exclusive album, Shakira joins an unparalleled group of remarkable artists that partner with Target to give our guests more music,” Anne Stanchfield, divisional merchandise manager of entertainment, Target, said of the partnership. “Shakira is an international icon with an enormous following of fans that love her distinctive voice, boundless energy and hallmark dance moves. Guests will be thrilled with the three bonus tracks that can only be found at Target.”

Early buzz for the album has already helped catapult Shakira 15-5 on Billboard’s Social 50 chart this week, gaining an additional 750,000 new fans overall.

Part of that traction came from “Can’t Remember to Forget You,” featuring Rihanna, the first single off the singer’s new set. The song vaulted into the top 20 of the Mainstream Top 40 and Latin Pop Airplay charts after its first day of availability. She followed up the release of the duet with a Spanish-language solo version of the song, Nunca Me Acuerdo de Olvidarte.”
