‘Report 51’ Viral Asks If There’s Anybody Out There?
The official website has been updated for a new first person indie by the name of Report 51, a film that appears to “get it”. Unlike most cinema verite indies, these filmmakers have bent over backwards to create a small viral marketing campaign that includes clips and other goodies. Get started at the link above, or be a lazy like me and watch the trailer and new viral below.
Starring Michela Bruni, Luca Guastini, Viola Graziosi, Damiano Martina and Ann Pierssens, the movie is currently in post production. The director, Alessio Liguori, has co-written the script and co-produced the film with cinematographer Giuliano Tomassacci.
“The found footage is what four unaware American students experience after a strange and nonetheless unintentional sighting. They decide to organize a week-end in the woods to research what is going on and the video-documentary is the faithful recording of a happy jaunt among friends which soon turns into a terrific nightmare and in a struggle for life. These four friends quickly forget their jealousies and the juvenile flirts to escape from an impending, extraterrestrial, threat.”
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.
