The Curse of Bridge Hollow scribe Todd Berger is carving up Gen X satirical slasher The Big Kill, and THR reports that it’s found its stars. Scream stalwart Skeet Ulrich, Alicia Witt (Longlegs, Urban Legend), and Pete Holmes (Woman of the Hour) will star in the film, which is said to pay tribute to Gen […]
Berger directs the film, which just wrapped production, from a script by Emmy-winning Daily Show writer Daniel Radosh.
Producers include Live Nation Studios and Mason Novick for MXN Entertainment. Ryan Kroft executive produces for Live Nation Studios.
“Horror plus comedy set to ’90s music equals a resounding yes for Live Nation Studios,” Live Nation Studios head of film and television Kroft told THR. “With this fan-favorite cast and phenomenal producing team, The Big Kill is destined to be a horror hit.”
Berger added, “When I saw Scream in the theater as a teenager, it blew me away because it was a slasher movie filled with people my own age, talking the way we actually talked. But then, over the years, I noticed something about the protagonists of slashers — they weren’t aging like the rest of us. So now, to get to make a horror comedy about fellow Gen Xers with kids and mortgages and ruminations on existential dread, and to do it with an incredibly witty script and amazing cast, is a dream come true.“
