‘Attach’ is an Assembly of ‘Six Million Dollar Man’, ‘RoboCop’, ‘Creepshow’ and “Twilight Zone”
Chris Gorak will direct the sci-fi-thriller Attach which is based on his original script and will star Alex Russell (Chronicle), Bloody Disgusting just learned ahead of EFM in Berlin.
In the film, star athlete Daniel Townsend (Russell) undergoes an experimental surgery that permanently attaches a cutting-edge bionic arm and leg to his body after he loses his own in a car accident. But when he realizes the advanced intelligent prosthetics may have a destructive mind of their own, Daniel’s rehabilitation quickly transforms into a desperate fight to save himself and everyone around him.
Adam Schroeder (Chronicle, Sleepy Hollow, The Truman Show) will produce under his Adam Schroeder Entertainment banner alongside Rob Paris (The Blackcoat’s Daughter, I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives in The House) of Paris Film, Inc. Highland Film Group will handle international sales, and introduce to buyers next month in Berlin.
Director Chris Gorak said: “’Attach’ is unique and timely, it combines all of the gripping elements of a classic sci-fi thriller and the exciting technological breakthroughs of today. Alex Russell is such a fresh talent, working with him will be an exceptional experience. I look forward to the collaboration and bringing the character of Daniel Townsend to life.”
Gorak made his directorial debut on the 2006 Sundance Film Festival hit, Right at Your Door, which was released by Lionsgate. In 2010 he went on to direct the Regency and Summit filmThe Darkest Hour starring Emile Hirsch, Max Minghella and Joel Kinnaman.
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.
