SFX artist Vincent Guastini bites into ‘Sherwood Horror’
Vincent Guastini and his company V.G.P. Effects & Design Studio have come aboard John Regan’s Sherwood Horror, a contemporary set reimagining of the Robin Hood legend with bite. Ex-con Rob Locksley (DJ Perry) returns home after a six-year absence to find his town under the rule of vampires. He must join forces with his old roughneck hunting buddies to wage war against the evil Sheriff and his horde of blood-suckers.
Guastini and his talented team of artists will handle the creature effects. Regan adds “Getting Vincent to bring Sherwood’s vampires to life is a dream come true.” Guastini’s credits include Letters From Iwo Jima, Requiem For A Dream, Kevin Smith’s Dogma, Last Of The Mohicans and Stephen King’s Thinner.
In addition, Terry Jernigan has now joined the cast which includes DJ Perry, Taymour Ghazi and Mike Powers. Jernigan is set to play Nottingham, a head vampire who usurps the role of Sheriff in order to control and manipulate the people of Sherwood while his coven feeds on the innocent. Jernigan’s credits include “Border Town” “The 8th Plague” “Dean Teaster’s Ghost Town” “An Ordinary Killer” and “Judges” He has also appeared in Terrence Malick’s “New World” and “Hearts In Atlantis”.
The film will be produced by DJ Perry under his Collective Development Inc. banner www.cdiproductions.com. Regan will direct from his own screenplay.

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.
