Angela Bettis Toplines ‘The Graveyard Feeder’
Angela Bettis (May, The Woman, “Dexter”) and Bill Oberst, Jr. (Take this Lollipop, Children of Sorrow) are attached to the feature adaptation of Rich Robinson’s the hilarious short film, “The Graveyard Feeder.” They will star along side lead Sean Bridgers (The Woman, “Deadwood”).
Funding is still being locked ath the moment. No shoot date is set.
In the film, “Groundskeeper Burke Sawyer rushes to save his deceased father’s soul from a menacing underground creature that is feeding on the corpses of Juniper Falls Cemetery.”
Below is the teaser to the short that was shot over the course of 3 days in Snow Camp, NC.
The short film stars Bridgers as groundskeeper Burke Sawyer. In addition to writing and directing the film, Rich Robinson co-produced the project with Jeff Stepp who also served as director of photography. Starr Jones (Lincoln, Star Trek:The Next Generation, The Toolbox Murders) did the SP F/X and Production Design while Josh Chase (Take Shelter) did the sound design.
Mick Hitz of the Big Wheel Production Group was the Executive Producer and the rockabilly group The Bloody Jug Band contributed music for the soundtrack.
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.
