‘Left for Dead’ Director Prepping New 3-D Vampire Film
I know a lot of you are fans of Albert Pyun’s Left for Dead, his horror Western from Argentina, and while he is in post-production on Tales of an Ancient Empire (an action/adventure flick starring Val Kilmer, Kevin Sorbo and Christopher Lambert), the writer-director revealed that he’s now prepping a new 3-D vampire film that begins lensing in the New Year. You can read all the details below.
“We are beginning the early stages of prep next week on a new film and will begin shooting January 2,” the director announced via his official MySpace. “And yes it revolves around vampires. But not the way you’d imagine. I can’t say much yet except its a hybrid of genres and will likely be shot in 3D. It’s definitely going to be somewhat experimental — if you can imagine a movie like Tales crossed with ‘Run Lola Run’. Female and Male leads, more romantic with a cluster of superhuman villains trying to wreck their relationship. It’s yet “Untitled” until all the agreements are finalized this week.”

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.
