Bizarre ‘What We Do In the Shadows’ Kickstarter
What We Do In the Shadows is already the best horror film I’ve seen in 2015, and will guaranteed be on my best of the year list come December, but it’s hard to get behind this truly bizarre Kickstarter campaign.
I’m not exactly sure I understand what’s going on, but they’re seeking a whopping $400,000 to self-distribute the film across the country.
The weird part is that (as of this writing) no contributor can see the movie until they donate at least $125 – and with that they receive a signed DVD come June (even though the movie will be out this coming February. What does this mean? Well, if you want to see it in a theater in Ohio, you need to contribute money – and for doing so they’ll send you a pdf of their script. Then, when the movie opens in Ohio, you have to purchase your own stinking ticket.
What We Do In the Shadows (read our review) is a spectacularly funny movie – but how far are you willing to go to see it?
The new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), the upcoming Weapons is assembling an impressive cast, with Josh Brolin (Dune 2) and Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) recently signing on. Deadline reports today that Alden Ehrenreich (Cocaine Bear) is the latest actor to join the cast of Cregger’s new movie.
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
