Father-and-Son Go On a Killing Spree In ‘Anderson Falls’
French helmer Julien Seri (Yamakasi, Night Fare) will direct Anderson Falls, a dramatic crime thriller written by Giles Daoust, for Title Media and Lone Suspect, Bloody Disgusting learned.
“After his wife’s suicide, Detective Jeff Anderson becomes convinced that she has in fact been murdered. Obsessed with his investigation, Anderson finds out that his wife was the victim of a team of father-and-son serial killers. He’ll have to break all the rules to stop them from killing other women.“
Luke Barnett and Vincent Masciale will produce under their Lone Suspect banner alongside Giles Daoust (Starry Eyes) on behalf of Title Media and Mike Macari (The Ring franchise) for Koji Productions. Catherine Dumonceaux is executive producing. Production is scheduled to start this summer.
Julien Seri has directed over 600 commercials, which have won him two Bronze Lions in Cannes. He has directed 4 French feature films, including Yamakasi (EuropaCorp) and Night Fare (Universal France).
This marks Title Media’s third time partnering with Lone Suspect, having teamed up previously on the Abigail Breslin horror-comedy Fear, Inc (Tribeca) and the dramatic thriller Painkillers (Adam Huss, Madeline Zima, Mischa Barton), which debuted to buyers at EFM via Kew Media.
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.
