‘No Tell Motel’ Team Gear Up For Lots Of ‘Blood Shed’
The independent film, television and digital media company, Enderby Entertainment has inked a deal with Viva Pictures and Uncork’d Entertainment to produce four Tony-Seven Films projects in conjunction with a current horror series to include 15 films for 2013.
Following a successful partnership on the independent paranormal thriller No Tell Motel, Viva Pictures and Uncork’d Entertainment have made a firm commitment with Enderby Entertainment co-partners Rick Dugdale (About Cherry) and Daniel Petrie, Jr. (Beverly Hills Cop) to produce more films. In the agreement, it is stated that Viva Pictures and Uncork’d Entertainment will present the Tony-Seven Films productions to the U.S. and Canada, and Enderby Entertainment will orchestrate financing through their genre fund, Farm Team Investment Fund.
The first film to be produced from the deal will be Blood Shed, written and created by 2010 Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting Competition Quarterfinalist and 2011 UCLA Screenwriting Contest Finalist, Patrick Hasson who will serve as film’s director, along with co-director Juan Carlos Saizarbortia. “The script is loosely based on the true events of a homeless loner who moves into a self-storage facility inhabited by a community of bizarre squatters until they are locked in for the night with a deranged female who hunts them down in search of her lost child.” The film will shoot in the fall of 2012.
In development for the second slot under the deal is an as-yet untitled thriller written by Todd Ireland based on a true story set in the frozen mountains of Siberia.
No Tell Motel will be released VOD and on DVD on Oct. 9. In addition to the Horror Series, Enderby Entertainment’s genre division, Tony-Seven Films will be releasing other films in 2012 including Vile on Sept. 11, The Speak on Oct. 9, and A Haunting at Silver Falls (date TBA).
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.
