Genre Vets, Haley Duff Fear ‘Cousin Sarah’
A new horror film, Cousin Sarah, is currently in development under Multi Valence Productions and Willoughby Pictures. The film stars actress Leah Pipes (Sorority Row, The Deep End), Jason Mewes (Jay and Silent Bob), Teri McMinn (1974s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre), John Savage (Deer Hunter, The Crossing Guard), and in negotiations is actress Haley Duff (Material Girls).
The film is being directed by Ian Christian Blanche.
Filming will begin in fall of 2010 at the Universal Studios back lot.
Garcia & Morin penned the screenplay “about a teenage girl named Crystal who has just graduated from high school in a small town community in Southern California. She realizes that she will be breaking up with her high school sweetheart Jake, who will be moving to the east coast in the fall. Her older cousin Sarah, who has become the post-hippie poster child, arrives in town and tries to find a way into Crystal’s circle of friends. After several creepy events and disturbing dreams of burning houses, Crystal begins to wonder if there is something sinister in Sarah’s background.”
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.
