Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi is hard at work on his second directorial feature, Wrong Number, and has shared the first images from the stalker horror movie on socials.
Mescudi, who writes, directs, and stars in the film, writes on X, “Heads ain’t ready…“
Barbie Ferreira (Faces of Death) stars opposite the Grammy-winning artist.
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 sneak peek images give our first look at Ibn.
Lucy Barrett (Deep Water), Dewayne Perkins (The Blackening), Clifton Powell (Ray) and Laura Harrier (Michael) also star in Wrong Number, which went into production last month in Los Angeles. Adam Madrzyk is the film’s cinematographer.
“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 previously. “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 to experience it.”
The musician turned filmmaker is fresh off the world premiere of Adam Egypt Mortimer’s Pathetic Fallacy, a cosmic pseudo-musical horror movie that marks Mescudi’s first leading role. His other genre credits include X, Trap, and Silent Night.
His directorial debut, the addiction drama Doe, is coming soon.
