Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi is headed back into the director’s chair for his second movie, with Deadline revealing that it’s a horror project that Mescudi himself will also be starring in.
The film is titled Wrong Number, and Barbie Ferreira (Faces of Death) will also star.
Director Scott Mescudi’s Wrong Number centers on Ibn (Mescudi), a lonely self-help author whose unexpected romance with a mysterious woman named Eliza (Ferreira) turns into a waking nightmare when he becomes the target of an unseen stalker and the prime suspect in a string of murders.
The Grammy-winning artist and filmmaker also wrote the screenplay for the horror film.
Lucy Barrett (Deep Water), Dewayne Perkins (The Blackening), Clifton Powell (Ray) and Laura Harrier (Michael) also star in Wrong Number, now in production in Los Angeles.
“A lot of people know that I’m a huge horror buff. And it was only a matter of time before I’d jump into the genre myself with my own stories,” Mescudi said. “Wrong Number is a fun ride, an original story that has all the elements of an epic horror thriller, and I can’t wait for you all the experience it.”
“Directing my second film in a year is unreal,” Mescudi adds. “I’m learning more and more each day and I’m just ready for the challenge. I’m hyped to see people become fans of my filmmaking in the same ways they are with my music. I’m putting the industry on notice.”
His directorial debut, the addiction drama Doe, is coming soon.
