SCIFI Wire has unveiled the newest casting info on the classic sci fi reboot. 

flash_ginaholden.JPGFirst up is Gina Holden, who will play the part of Dale Arden, Flash’s love interest in the show.  You may recognize Gina from her roles in Butterfly Effect 2 and Final Destination 3, as well as last years ill-fated drama ‘Reunion’, which was swatted down before it could get started by FOX (I know, that’s a huge shocker).  You can also see her in the upcoming Alien vs. Predator 2.

SCI FI had the following to say about Holden’s audition:

“During auditions and rehearsals, we could tell this one was the right Dale, because [Johnson] had such good chemistry with her…We had to find the right actress to work with him, because there’s jealousy and a love triangle and friendship involved, and we did not want to stick him with an actress he couldn’t stand.”

In other casting news, Jody Racicot will play the role of brilliant scientist/sidekick Dr. Hans Zarkov, and John Ralston as The Merciless Ming.

The show went into production this week with a debut set for August.
