‘Amityville Horror’ Remake Director Wants To Know, ‘UWANTMETOKILLHIM?’
Remember Andrew Douglas? I forgot about him, too, even though I quite dug his remake of The Amityville Horror. He’s back, now in production on UWANTMETOKILLHIM?
In the thriller penned by Mike Walden, “A thriller detailing the true story of a teenage boy’s descent into the dangerous world of the internet and the harrowing consequences of his actions.
When 16 year old Mark meets local girl Rachel on the internet and begins an intense online relationship, he quickly finds that he’s besotted and that he’ll do anything for her. Even befriend her awkward, loner brother John. When Rachel, who is trapped within the grips of an abusive boyfriend, is murdered, Mark and John develop violent desires to avenge her death. The actions draw the attention of a secret government department, as they unwittingly stumble upon an ongoing operation. Soon Mark is recruited to commit a devastating, harrowing crime, one that made British legal history.
Based on true events in the UK in 2003, this is the story of a friendship of opposites and the hidden evils that lurk deep within the Internet.“
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.
