Eli Roth Is Developing a New Multimedia Horror Franchise Titled CLOWNPOCALYPSE

Director Eli Roth is teaming up with 3BlackDot to develop a 360-degree horror project titled Clownpocalypse. This is going to be a franchise that will include a feature film, video game, live event, short-form series, and merchandise.

Roth will produce the film and is currently on the hunt for a director to take on the film project that will start production next year. There’s no information on the story that the movie will tell, but I imagine it will involve a post-apocalyptic world filled with clowns. Roth had this to say in a statement:

“I’ve had an amazing time collaborating with James Frey and the incredible team at 3BlackDot. From concept to art to the game play, every step of the way, no idea has been too crazy, and they’ve executed it at the highest level. For years I’ve had people tell me ‘You can’t do that in a game, it’s too insane’ and I finally found partners who said, ‘Let’s take this a step further.’ It feels like we’re making a game, movie and live experience with no parental supervision or studio to tell us to tone it down, and that’s the only way to create something spectacular and memorable. This will be a big, fun, scary event for gamers, movie fans, and people who love live events. The Clownpocalypse is coming. Get ready.”

 3BlackDot President Reginald Cash added:

“As a studio, we’re committed to developing and financing the most innovative content experiences. We are thrilled to continue to work with great visionaries and storytellers such as Eli and Philip in creating immersive worlds that traverse film, games, and live events. Audiences are in for a real surprise.”

I’ve never been the biggest of Roth’s work, but just the title of this new film has perked my interest. So, I’m curious to see what it ends up exactly being.
