Jamie Kennedy, Cinephile, Returning in ‘Scream IV’?
It’s looking as if Wes Craven and company are planning one helluva reunion. CHUD is reporting that Jamie Kennedy will be resurrected in Dimension Films’ Scream IV, returning with screenwriter Kevin Williamson and stars Neve Campbell, David Arquette and Courteney Cox. “Sources very close to the production tell me that the producers of Scream 4 are talking to Kennedy about returning to the franchise,” writes the site. “The problem is that I can’t get anyone to tell me how. Will it be Randy, back from the grave? Randy’s twin? Or will the film be going meta, as some have suspected, with Kennedy playing himself?” Shooting begins this May for a April 15, 2011 release.
Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
