PARANORMAL ACTIVITY Producer Teams Up With Slash For a Slate of New Horror Films
The producer behind the Paranormal Activity franchise, Steven Schneider, is teaming up with the iconic rock star Slash, and Malkier Studios, to develop a slate of new horror films. The collaboration is said to focus on “creating IP driven horror, animation and thriller content.”
The first project that is going into development is a horror film titled Janus which is being helmed by Jason Zada (The Forest), from a script written by Nate Atkins. The story for that movie will “follow three band members seeking refuge in an old farmhouse where they encounter a woman harboring an unspeakable secret.”
The movie stars Alex Neustaedter (American Rust), Natalie Alyn Lind (Big Sky), Jack Kilmer (Lords of Chaos), Grace Van Dien (Stranger Things), and M.C. Gainey (Emperor).
The project that will follow is a period horror movie titled The Worthless Remains, which is coming from Director X. (Superfly) and writer Micah Ranum (The Silencing). It’s described as being “a terrifying new spin to a historical trauma.”
Schneider said in a statement: “Producing a horror slate with innovators such as Jason Zada and Director X. is a nightmare come true. These stories are fresh and exciting, and I can’t wait to see them realized in collaboration with Malkier Studios. Together, I’m confident we’ll elevate the genre to new heights.”
Producer D.C. Cassidy said: “We’re thrilled to be working with Schneider and Roy, two of the most successful horror producers of all time. Their track record – and box-office receipts – speak for themselves. But more importantly, they have the creative vision to see these films to success. We plan on building a long and fruitful relationship with Room 101 and Spooky Pictures and are honored to be part of this dynamic collaboration.”
Hopefully, these creative teams will pump out some great and scary horror content!
