The star of the SCARY MOVIE franchise is returning to horror/comedy territory.
Yale Entertainment has announced that it has picked up the rights to BREITENBUSH, which Regina Hall (who also experienced serious horror in last year’s MASTER) will topline and also produce with Tom Heller through their Rh Negative Entertainment; Yale’s Jordan Yale Levine and Jordan Beckerman are also producing. Jim Strouse, whose previous films include such off-genre titles as GRACE IS GONE, THE WINNING SEASON, PEOPLE PLACES THINGS and THE INCREDIBLE JESSICA JAMES, scripted and will direct the film. The synopsis: “After her husband vanishes on a camping trip in which everyone ingests a powerful hallucinogen and summons an angry prehistoric creature, aspiring district attorney Kate [Hall] and her friends must return to the site of the ill-fated trip to face the forces that lead to his disappearance.”
“We’re thrilled to be announcing our latest Yale Entertainment project,” Levine and Beckerman say in a statement. “Jim and Regina are at the top of the list of people who we’ve wanted to collaborators with, and this script is so unique and fun–we’re so excited to get this into production.”
