‘The Other’ a Demonic Love Story
Director, producer and writer Rick Bieber (Flatliners) and Ken Clark have partnered to form a new independent feature film production company, MiNDS i CiNEMA.
The first project under the banner will be the demonic love story, The Other.
The psychological horror stars Dominic Sherwood, pictured, as Zach Bradford, a young man tormented by the possibility of descending into the depths of insanity, or worse, become the target of an actual demonization. The terrors surrounding Zach, his family and friends grow to deadly proportions and he is forced to question his sanity and fears for his girlfriend Shawn’s (Charlbi Dean) safety. Once the threat of psychotic behavior reaches its climactic conclusion, Zach is confronted with an unimaginable horrific reality.
Based on a screenplay which was written and will be directed by Rick Bieber, the film will star Dominic Sherwood (Vampire Academy), Jill Hennessy (“Crossing Jordon,” “Law & Order”), Emmy Award Winner Drea de Matteo (“Sons of Anarchy,” “The Sopranos,” Dark PLaces), Charlbi Dean and Sinclaire Schaefer.
“Although unquestionably scary, The Other is also a classic love story with believable characters confronting provocative and somewhat spiritual themes,” said Bieber. “It’s our hope that the new company will produce very commercial films with evocative story lines and strong and well developed characters, regardless of genre. We’re anxious to create an appealing new home for talented emerging and established filmmakers and actors alike.”
The Other begins shooting in Los Angeles in January 2015.
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.
