‘Slime’ – Scott Mescudi Starring in “Trippy AF” Animated Monster Movie
After appearing in Ti West’s slasher movie X last year, Scott Mescudi (aka Kid Cudi) will next be starring in new animated feature Slime, Deadline reports today.
Slime is described as “a classic monster movie decked out in fashion-forward video game skins that are wickedly satirical, scary as hell and trippy AF.”
The film marks the feature directorial debut by animator Jeron Braxton (“Baby Demon”). Brian Ash (“The Boondocks“) wrote the script and serves as executive producer.
About the animated feature: “In a not-too-distant, but all-too-dystopian future, Muna, an optimistic, but broke young woman, signs up for a paid medical trial. Hope turns to horror when she is unknowingly injected with a foreign creature’s slime and begins to have visions she does not understand and unleash destructive powers she cannot control. Hunted and desperate, Muna kidnaps Glenn (Mescudi), a lab worker from the mega-corporation who injected her. Together, they go on a terrifying odyssey in search of refuge and a cure. But is it already too late to stop her from evolving into a monster, a post-human savior, or something in between?”
“The concept for Slime is to build a sonic/visual experience that marries Braxton’s distinct style with a trippy, elevating original soundtrack, according to the release,” Deadline reports.
“I’m always looking for what’s new and always trying to elevate what we know about music, film, TV and animation. Jeron is a powerhouse creative at the forefront of culture, pushing boundaries with everything he does. I’m grateful to have him on the team and am ready to see him bring Slime to life. Mad Solar, we here,” Mescudi told the outlet.
Slime is produced under Mescudi’s production banner Mad Solar alongside Hammerstone Studios and Capstone Global.
Mescudi, Karina Manashil, Dennis Cummings, Aaron Bergman, Alex Lebovici and Jon Oakes produce Slime. Christian Mercuri, Courtney Chenn, Waylin Lin and Brian Ash executive produce.
NEON has been absolutely slaying the marketing game for their horror output this year, and they’re kicking the Longlegs campaign into high gear with one more month until release.
A cryptic ad in The Seattle Times today (seen below) has led clever horror fans to discover TheBirthdayMurders.net, the brand new official viral marketing website for Longlegs.
The in-universe website details the victims of the serial killer known as Longlegs (Nicolas Cage), described as a “Satan-worshipping psycho” who has terrorized families throughout the Pacific Northwest for nearly three decades.
The website details, “A bloody trail of bodies here in the great state of Oregon attests to the depraved savagery of this one-of-a-kind serial killer. With over three dozen victims that we know of, LONGLEGS is one of the most prolific mass murderers ever to have graced the region, and his gruesome endeavors are the stuff of nightmares. At first, all of the killings appeared to be straightforward murder-suicides: the handiwork of average men who suddenly snapped and slaughtered their wives and children. But a series of eerie coded messages left at the crime scenes indicate that someone – or something – is influencing these horrific crimes. The cryptic letters are signed by someone calling himself LONGLEGS.”
“With thirty-eight kills to his name, LONGLEGS has torn apart the lives of eleven different families throughout the Beaver State. His victims were good people: honest fathers, decent mothers, innocent little children.”
The website is loaded with secrets, clues, and gruesome (faux) crime scene photos, and you might even find a mention of yours truly nestled in there. Poke around. Stay a while.
Longlegs arrives in theaters July 12.
The upcoming serial killer horror movie marks the return of director Osgood Perkins (The Blackcoat’s Daughter, Gretel & Hansel). Nicolas Cage stars alongside Maika Monroe, with Monroe playing an FBI agent and Cage playing a serial killer.
In the film, “FBI Agent Lee Harker (Monroe) is a gifted new recruit assigned to the unsolved case of an elusive serial killer (Cage). As the case takes complex turns, unearthing evidence of the occult, Harker discovers a personal connection to the merciless killer and must race against time to stop him before he claims the lives of another innocent family.
The film is rated “R” for “Bloody violence, disturbing images and some language.”
