Image We here at CC2K would like to voice our support for the Allison Scagliotti for Cassie Hack movement.

Warehouse 13’s Allison Scagliotti should play comic-book heroine Cassie Hack from Tim Seeley’s series Hack/Slash. This simple premise has spawned an online movement to not only see a Hack/Slash movie get made, but to also give geeks a say in who plays the lead role.

Stand-up comedian and comic-book historian Sax Carr first advanced this notion over at Comics on Comics, and since then, he’s started up the Twitter hashtag #AllisonScag4Cassie.

But let’s ask Sax to explain the movement himself in a video expertly shot and cut by the eminent video blogger and online personality Sam Proof:

And lest you think we’re a bunch of cranks, Allison Scagliotti herself not only supports the casting choice, but she’s writing the introduction for Tim’s next Hack/Slash trade paperback!
