Sasha Grey Goes Grindhouse as Vigilante Cop in ‘Skinny Dip’
“They took her bikini. They took her virginity. When they were through, she took her revenge.”
That’s the logline for Frankie Latina‘s Grindhouse-inspired Skinny Dip, which stars porn star-turned-actress Sasha Grey (pictured inside), the great Machete himself, Danny Trejo, alongside Natalie Martinez and Ryan Donowho.
“After being dared to go skinny dipping in stormy waters, a buttoned up Holly Haven (played by Grey) loses her glasses, washes up at the wrong bonfire and finds herself the unwitting centerpiece of the local football team’s yearly “freshman initiation” – a heinous ritual that involves the team’s newest member raping a defenseless and overpowered Holly.
When a female motorcycle cop shows up on the scene, Holly assumes justice will be served. But in this town, football’s a religion and the cops are high priests. The jocks are let go with a slap on the wrist, and Holly’s forced to defend herself yet again – this time, against the very person who was supposed to save her.
With the help of a mysterious jolt of electricity, Holly destroys the evil cop, steals her uniform and appropriates her motorcycle. Armed with a Billy club, shotgun, service revolvers and plenty of brains, Holly sets out to avenge herself. In the process, she comes up against bad cops, a corrupt chief of police, and a stone cold killer by the name of “El Tigre.” ”
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.
