First Look at ‘Box of Shadows’
Very reminiscent of The Frighteners, Fotocomics Productions has released its first official photos from Box of Shadows, director Mauro Borrelli and producer Ed Polgardy’s upcoming horror thriller about a group of college friends who discover a 15th century mechanical coffin that allows them to experience the world as ghosts. The photos feature the movie’s signature coffin and a mechanical reaper who is one of the film’s primary villains.

“We wanted to give horror fans a sneak peak of what we have in store for them this summer,” said Polgardy. “We’ve worked hard to make the coffin and reaper iconic images that audiences will remember long after the movie is over.”
Polgardy was a producer and second unit director on a number of motion pictures with memorable horror elements and creatures, including Robert Hall’s LAID TO REST and Darin Scott’s DARK HOUSE, while Borrelli has a long history of creating fascinating movie imagery, having served as a visual effects artist on such movies as BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA, PLANET OF THE APES, PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN 2 & 3, and THE WOLFMAN.
The exclusive images are currently only available to select media outlets and will be posted on the re-vamped BOX OF SHADOWS web site in the next several weeks.
BOX OF SHADOWS is slated for release in Summer of 2010. The producing team includes Polgardy, film festival veteran Scott Rudolph, Alfredo Gilardini, Gabriella Stollenwerck (DEAD END, BIG NOTHING), and Domiziano Arcangeli (BLACK DEMONS, H1N1: VIRUS X).
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.
