‘Sea of Dust’ Wins ‘Best of Fest’ Award at Fright Night
SEA OF DUST is proud to announce its receipt of the “Best of the Fest” Award from Kentucky’s esteemed Fright Night Film Festival. Hailed “the largest genre festival in mid-America,” Fright Night featured SEA OF DUST as its keystone Friday night projection on August 14th. SEA OF DUST is a “surreal and bizarre tribute to the European horror cinema of the 1960s” starring genre icons Tom Savini (FROM DUSK TIL DAWN, GRINDHOUSE) and Ingrid Pitt (THE VAMPIRE LOVERS, COUNTESS DRACULA) in the tale of an other-worldly evil that threatens to possess humanity. The satirical film features the contributions of Stuart `Multiple Miggs’ Rudin (SILENCE OF THE LAMBS) and venerated musician Stephen Malkmus (PAVEMENT).
The Fright Night Award marked SEA OF DUST ‘s second U.S. festival win, following its Best Picture Grand Prize at the Rhode Island International Film Festival (RIIFF).
Famed French filmmaker Jean Rollin, the visionary behind such milestones of the fantastique as LIPS OF BLOOD and THE LIVING DEAD GIRL, recently lauded the film as “mysterious, enigmatic and full of promise.”
Joe `The Phantom of the Movies’ Kane, editor of Videoscope Magazine, has called SEA “very imaginative (without stinting on the blood and gore). The Hammer-like production design is impressive.”
Visit the film’s official site (www.seaofdust.com) to see why SEA has been hailed a “one of a kind film, as there is nothing else out there that is remotely similar to this” ( Gorezone Magazine , UK ).
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.
