‘Scary Movie 5’ Will Be A Reboot; Lindsay Lohan And Charlie Sheen Set To Star
It’s being reported that both Lindsay Lohan (I Know Who Killed Me) and Charlie Sheen (Machete Kills) are both signed on for Dimension Films’ Scary Movie 5.
Sources say that the ever-comebacking Sheen, despite being uncomfortably killed off in Scary Movie 4, will be back for the next sequel, which is being touted as a complete reboot of the franchise and is due in theaters January 11, 2013.
It’s also confirmed that Faris has chosen to freeze her number at four and will not be back for the new film.
The duo join previously announced Erica Ash and Ashley Tisdale, with Anthony Anderson, Regina Hall and Kevin Hart rumored to also return.
Malcolm Lee directs the retooling that will spoof Black Swan, Paranormal Activity, Rise of the Planet of the Apes and 127 Hours.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
