‘Crumb Catcher’ – Twisted Home Invasion Movie Finds a Home at Doppelgänger Releasing
In the wake of the film’s Fantastic Fest premiere, Doppelgänger Releasing has acquired U.S. rights to the home invasion movie Crumb Catcher, Deadline reports this afternoon.
Chris Skotchdopole wrote and directed Crumb Catcher, and Doppelgänger Releasing plans on bringing the film to theaters later this year. Read on for more information.
In Crumb Catcher, “After blacking out on his wedding night, Shane (Rigo Garay) and his wife (Ella Rae Peck) head to a remote estate for their honeymoon. That night, there’s a knock at the door; a waiter and bartender from the reception, blackmailing Shane for something he can’t remember doing. But the blackmailers don’t just want money. They’re after business partners for their invention, an outlandish device called…the Crumb Catcher.”
“I started writing Crumb Catcher in 2016 as our country was being divided by the Great Hate Magnet. What emerged was a twisted tale of home invasion, two couples on opposing ends of the American Dream- a reflection of the absurdist times that in 2024, we are all still forced to participate in,” Skotchdople said in a statement.
“My intention was to make a thrilling and suspenseful film, but my hope is that these couples have more to reveal. I’m proud to partner with Music Box Films and Doppelgänger Releasing, a company that believes in community and that the lifeforce of independent film starts in a movie theater.”
Lorraine Farris and John Speredakos also star.
Of particular note, Larry Fessenden (Blackout) produced the film.
Fede Alvarez’s (Evil Dead, Don’t Breathe) Alien: Romulus will be unleashed in theaters nationwide on August 16, and Entertainment Weekly brings us two new images today.
The first image you’ll find below gives us another fresh look at the film’s Xenomorph, with Alvarez promising the outlet that it’s the most H.R. Giger-faithful Xenomorph of them all.
Entertainment Weekly writes, “… Alvarez promises [the Xenomorph’s design] is closer to H.R. Giger’s original creation than any other iteration.” The late H.R. Giger was of course integral to Ridley Scott’s Alien, designing the iconic monster the franchise is centered on.
The other image you’ll find below gives us a look at two of the human characters from Alien: Romulus, Archie Renaux’s Tyler and Cailee Spaeny’s heroine Rain Carradine.
Head over to Entertainment Weekly for their full preview of the upcoming film.
Here’s the full official plot synopsis for Alvarez’s Alien: Romulus, which comes in the wake of Disney reviving the Predator franchise in spectacular fashion with last year’s Prey…
“While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young space colonizers come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe.”
Cailee Spaeny (The Craft: Legacy, Pacific Rim Uprising) leads the cast alongside Isabela Merced, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Spike Fearn and Aileen Wu.
Alien: Romulus takes place in between the first two films. It’s been described as “an original standalone feature,” one that “will focus on a group of young people on a distant world.”
Fede Alvarez co-wrote the script with Rodo Sayagues (Evil Dead). Ridley Scott is on board as producer for the film, the first movie in the franchise to be released by Disney.
