‘You Are My Sunshine’ Now in Pre-Production
Rock On! Films is in pre-production on Joe Eckardt’s You Are My Sunshine. Below you’ll find the synopsis while inside you can find a teaser trailer.
“Forty two years later John Simmons faces another parole hearing and the case is assigned to Tom Martin. Tom and his wife Linda, along with son Greg 10, and daughter Olivia 6 moved to this small town from a large city.
As the story unfolds, the Judge who assigned Tom the case and Sheriff Robert Simmons, who has never forgiven his brother, make it clear to Tom that they do not want his brother released. With little time to prepare and no cooperation from his client, John Simmons is denied parole.
However, things are just heating up. Olivia has a new friend, one only she can see and hear, and through Olivia and her supernatural friend, Tom begins to uncover clues that John may not have acted alone forty two years ago. Olivia’s new ghostly influence Kate, sends Tom to speak with local antique shop owners and old friends of the Sheriff, Samuel & Tracey Jenkins.
Tom enlists Linda in his pursuit to get to the bottom of the mystery. Throughout all this the Sheriff begins to questions some things, and after hearing that Tom had gone to see Samuel, he pays Samuel a visit as well. Samuel assures Sheriff that he did not have any pertinent information to give Tom. As Sheriff attempts to leave, he is surprised with a shovel to the temple by Tracey. They couldn’t let him get to the bottom of their secret regarding John, the murder of Clara Clarke and more.
The story intensifies as the pieces come together, and Linda and Tom realize it’s a race against time to discover the truth and keep their family safe as they get help from the least likely of places.”
The Wayans are out to cancel the Cancel Culture with Scary Movie, and the cast assures it will do just that.
“They sort of have an across-the-board style,” Anna Faris tells EW. “It’s always been a part of the Wayans Brothers, their electricity. ‘Can we offend you? Will you still love us? Come on, you still love us, don’t you?'”
Regina Hall concurs, promising the “boundary-pushing” sixth installment in the horror parody franchise will “offend everyone.”
EW has shared a batch of behind-the-scenes images from Scary Movie, which hits theaters June 5 via Paramount.
Faris and Hall are joined by fellow franchise favorites Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, and Jon Abrahams in the legacy sequel.
The ensemble includes Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park, Kenan Thompson, and Felissa Rose.
Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directs from a script by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, original Scary Movie director Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans (Scary Movie 2), and Rick Alvarez (A Haunted House).
The film will slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final.
Scary Movie launched in 2000, followed by Scary Movie 2 in 2001. The Wayans’ involvement ended there, but the series continued with 2003’s Scary Movie 3, 2006’s Scary Movie 4, and 2013’s Scary Movie 5.
