Sales Art For Horror With A Bite, ‘Chomp 3D’
While no director is yet attached, Chomp 3D is for pre-sale at the ongoing EFM, and we’ve landed the sales poster.
Chomp is said to mix the humor of Gremlins with the sheer terror and smarts of Deep Blue Sea, and is set against the back drop of the Louisiana Bayou, flavored with the Cajun culture. It will be shot in 3D and produced by Golden Globe nominee, Dan Grodnik and executive-produced by multiple Indie Spirit nominee, Nick Stiliadis. The story is written by Louisiana native, ex ATF agent and award winning author and screenwriter Chuck Hustmyre.
The intention is to deliver Chomp 3D with a PG-13 rating in order to maximize the target audience and its commercial prospects. Check out the art and long synopsis inside.
“A wild storm off the coast of Louisiana sends the Chinese freighter “Sea Dragon” crashing into the break wall and spilling its deadly cargo.
Unknown to the inhabitants of the tiny island community of “Grand Lafitte” is that on the eve of tourism season, all hell is about to break loose!
The friendly island is being overrun by hundreds of genetically enhanced “Supersized” Alligators, the result of a genetic experiment designed to boost profits.
These man-eating beasts measure over 20 feet long and weigh in excess of a ton. With a prehistoric look and a bad attitude to match, these creatures are attacking everybody and everything, leaving the authorities of this coastal island town in shock.
Enter the Broussard brothers, former stars of their own reality alligator hunting show, who find themselves the most unlikely of heroes.
With their extraordinary alligator-hunting skills and their intimate knowledge of the swamp, the three brothers are the last line of defense between the townspeople and alligator annihilation.
The ornery gators have finally met their match!“
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.
