The family that slays together stays together. Actors Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick are set to direct the horror comedy Family Movie, and they’ll star along with their children Travis and Sosie Bacon, Variety reports today.
As if that’s not intriguing enough, the family will produce for Mixed Breed Films alongside Norman Golightly at Dark Castle Entertainment. That’s right; Family Movie is a Dark Castle horror pic.
As for the plot, the film follows “an eclectic but tight-knit family of filmmakers who suddenly find themselves in a real-life horror movie when a body turns up on the set of their latest low-budget slasher. As the production spirals comically out of control, they realize the only solution to keep filming is to cover up the murder by any means necessary.”
Family Movie is based on a screenplay by Dan Beers (Premature).
“There may not be a more compelling Hollywood family than the Bacons,” Dark Castle co-CEO Norman Golightly said in a statement. “We can’t wait to bring their unique dynamic to the screen and then wildly turn it on its head for audiences.”
