Swedish Model Angelica Jansson Gets Bloody On ‘Mara’ Poster
After having been stuck in post-production and therefore ending up much delayed, Filmkoncept Scandinavia is proud to announce that Swedish chiller Mara is finally completed and ready for delivery.
“Making her feature film acting debut, popular Swedish model Angelica Jansson stars as Jenny, who as a little girl witnessed a brutal, gruesome murder. An utterly grotesque act committed by an insane woman. A violent deed that has forever scarred Jenny.
Along with four friends, Jenny — now an adult — returns to the scene where the murder was committed: a picturesque but secluded house in the woods. The five friends intend to have a nice time and to party, but the stay is also supposed to serve as therapy for Jenny. She wants to confront her past.
What was supposed to be a relaxing weekend in the countryside becomes a blood-soaked nightmare when it turns out that the five friends aren’t alone in the house. An intruder is hiding in the shadows. Somebody unknown is out for Jenny, who desperately has to fight for her life.”
Nothing is as it seems in the psychological horror-thriller “Mara,” the first production from Filmkoncept Scandinavia. The company’s basic idea is to produce high quality, cost-effective genre product; high technical craftmanship on small-scale budgets. “Mara” is written, produced and directed by Fredrik Hedberg, Åke Gustafsson and Jacob Kondrup; the founders of Filmkoncept Scandinavia.
The new poster is attached to this press release. A brand new trailer premieres next week.
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.
