[Web Series] Raimi and Carpenter Inspired “Stage Fright”
American Wasteland Entertainment is proud to announce, Stage Fright, its latest production, is now up for viewing at AmericanWastelandEnt.com/StageFright. Produced locally in the Ozarks, this mini series follows Newlyweds Emmett and Laney, after they sign off on an old theater without knowing its evil past and sinister present.
“This project was very nostalgic for me as a director as I had not directed a horror project since I was trying to make scary shorts in high school. The horror genre was what influenced me to become a filmmaker through the works of John Carpenter and Sam Raimi. I knew how Brittney felt about the genre, so when we started talking about doing a mini series, it was the go to genre for us. Getting back to our roots,” said Brasier, who co-owns American Wasteland Entertainment, LLC. A production company focusing on online based entertainment and film, with Greer.
Stage Fright also boasts some fantastic special effects and make up work from veteran Mike Strain Jr., whose recent horror film projects include the V/H/S and The Aggression Scale.
Brasier served as director, as well co-writer, and producer with Greer, who plays Laney in the series. Zac Rantz portrays Laney’s newlywed husband. The rest of the amazingly talented cast includes Chris Greig, Mickey Stone Kevin Keppy, Stephen Nations, Elaine Jenkins, Marci Manna, Haley Bertrand, Jennifer Eiffert, Jason Knight, and Angel Gonzales.
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.
