Jensen Ackles, our own Dean Winchester who is currently “sitting” in Hell, stars in the upcoming movie My Bloody Valentine 3-D. The film, a remake of the 1981 film, is currently filming outside Pittsburgh, PA.

My Bloody Valentine

The new version of My Bloody Valentine stars Jensen Ackles as Tom Hanninger, a coal miner whose inexperience leads to an accident that kills five men. Harry Warden, in a coma for a year after the accident, awakes on Valentine’s Day and goes on a killing spree, then kills himself.

Ten years after Harry’s death, Tom returns to the town. Instead of a warm welcome, he finds that everyone except Sarah, his old girlfriend, believes he’s responsible for Harry’s 22 murders.

Harmony vs. New Harmony

Interestingly, the town in the movie is Harmony. Although no state is mentioned, it’s reasonable to assume that it’s in Pennsylvania. There is, in fact a Harmony, PA. The town was created by the religious sect, The Harmony Society, in 1804. Ten years later, they sold the town to a group of Mennonites. They then created a new town in Indiana, which they named Harmony. This Harmony later changed its name to New Harmony.

In Supernatural episode No Rest for the Wicked, Sam and Dean head the Impala toward New Harmony, Indiana. There, the Winchesters find Lilith, the boys’ newest archnemesis who holds the contract on Dean’s soul.

My Bloody Valentine 3-D is due out in January 2009, just in time, of course, for Valentine’s Day. Nice touch.
