Sequel to Indie Film ‘Nailbiter’ in the Works
Award-winning filmmaker Patrick Rea (Nailbiter, Arbor Demon, Belong To Us) has announced that he has begun pre-production on a sequel to the 2013 horror film Nailbiter, tentatively titled Nailbiter: The Storm Children.
The first film was released by Lionsgate/Grindstone and is currently available on iTunes, Vudu, Google Play and Amazon Prime.
In the sequel, a brother and sister are forced to return to their small town to rescue a group of children from the shape-shifting occupants before a storm hits. Once inside the town, the siblings find themselves on a collision course with Jennifer Maguire, the lone human survivor of the previous film.
The film plans to shoot in the Kansas City area in the spring of 2019. Rea is back behind the camera, with Meg Saricks returning to the cast along with newcomers Matthew J. Lindblom and Ana Plumberg.
Currently the film is accepting donations through the 501c3 organization Kansas City Woman In Film and Television. Donations are tax deductible. The button for donating can be found HERE.
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.
