Michael Myers Takes Residence on ‘Penance Lane’
Halloween fans get ready for more of Michael Myers as star Tyler Mane is getting ready to join another horror film, Penance Lane, which heads to the American Wild West. Beyond the break you can check out some really early teaser art, along with word from Mane about his role.
Tyler Mane writes:
“Just thought I’d keep you up to date on what I’m up to these days since I don’t twitter! I’m typing this from my suite in Osoyoos, BC. That’s in Canada for those of you who don’t have a clue. Hell, I’m Canadian and I didn’t have a fuckin’ clue where it was. I’m about two miles from the US border and it’s like the high desert! But it’s Canada’s premiere wine country and the shit’s good!!!
Anyway, I’m filming my next project “Gunless.” It’s a major change of pace for me which is why I really wanted to do the project. The IMDB summary is: “A hardened American gunslinger is repeatedly thwarted in his attempts to mount a showdown in a friendly town in Canada where no one seems to understand or appreciate the brutal code of the American Wild West.” Yeah…it’s a Western… comedy!!! I play Jack Smith the local Blacksmith, the one the gunslinger is trying to have the show down with.
Next up, I’ve been setting up my production company Mane Entertainment and our first project PENANCE LANE is moving along at an incredible pace. In my top friends there is a page PENANCE LANE where you can look for up dates in the near future. We have a director attached that will blow your minds! Not telling yet!”
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.
