Alex Aja Faces Evil In ‘Wedding Gown’
Sanity is a state of mind.,
Bloody Disgusting has learned ahead of the American Film Market that horror vet Alexandre Aja (Horns, Piranha 3D, The Hills Have Eyes, High Tension, Mirrors) is currently in pre-production on a new psychological thriller that he co-penned with Maxime Giffard and The Woman In Black‘s Jon Crocker.
Wedding Gown, from Aja’s Alexandre Films, is described to us as a cruel fable about vengeance and manipulation in a world where we watch face our own personal evil.
Here’s the synopsis sent to us from our insider: “A child on the verge of tears. A woman’s hand, impatient, brutal. Sophie: The babysitter. Now the child lays dead. Did she kill him? A woman who’s losing her mind, her life spinning out of control, is followed by death wherever she goes. Only a year ago she was a fulfilled woman, a sharp art analyst, and a happy wife surrounded by a loving circle of family and friends. So how did she come to this? What sort of madness overtook her? Or was it manipulation? In search of a new identity to escape a string of deaths, Sophie is followed by an enigmatic man- Peter. This mysterious person seems to know a great deal about her. Way too much, in fact…”
Wedding Gown is based on the book by critically acclaimed writer Pierre Lemaitre.
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.
