Rebecca Van Cleave, Cersei’s Body Double, Lands Role In Horror Film

If there's one thing we know for certain about Rebecca Van Cleave, the woman whose body Lena Headey's head was superimposed onto on Game of Thrones, it's that she's not shy about doing nudity. This meshes well with the world of horror movies, who love nudity, making Rebecca's leap into the world of horror a natural fit.

According to Get West London (link below), Ms. Van Cleave is still reeling from the exposure her Game of Thrones body double work has brought her, and she's bringing that with her to the set of this new film.

She plays the lead role in The Prey, a short horror film shot on the streets of Isleworth.

The film, written and directed by James Webber, also features James Alexandrou, best known as Martin Fowler from EastEnders, and rising star Sam Gittins, who has appeared in Call the Midwife and Mr Selfridge.

In The Prey, Ms Van Cleave plays Mel, who storms out of the car after a row with her boyfriend on the way home from a Halloween party and attracts some unwanted attention as she walks through the mean streets of Isleworth at night.

The backdrop for this "urban horror with added bite" will be familiar to anyone who uses Isleworth station, with the action taking place on nearby streets including London Road and St John's Road.

Mr Webber described the film, made in association with Mini Productions and the digital distribution platform Findie, as a departure from his usual style.

"I usually make dramas but I wanted to do something completely different. The Prey plays around with horror conventions," he told getwestlondon.

"It was great to work with Rebecca. She contacted me after watching Driftwood, which she really enjoyed, and we've stayed in touch since then so it was good to finally team up."
