TV: Bill Moseley & Michael Berryman Topline ‘Rogue River’ Director’s “Hell Hunters” Pilot
Horror icons Bill Moseley (House of 1,000 Corpses, Halloween, Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2) and Michael Berryman (The Hills Have Eyes) will play the leads in the new cable television series pilot “Hell Hunters”.
“Hell Hunters” is an action/horror/suspense/crime drama/thriller “About two childhood friends from North Dakota who read a comic book and decide to become the murderous vigilante characters in real life.”
Bill Moseley will be playing the twisted role of Hazard, the man who grew up killing the scum of the earth under the alias of the comic book character.
Michael Berryman will be playing the role of Lawrence Beasly, the kindhearted World War II Marine Raider veteran who, after surviving a napalm explosion in combat, turns school janitor and teaches the boys hand-to-hand combat.
The series will be directed by Rogue River and Sum of 9 director Jourdan McClure and is scheduled to begin filming this summer. “Hell Hunters” was created by Lawrence Donini, Emily Hansen, AJ Denton, and Corey Keer.
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.
