Also joining the production are Adam Devine (Pitch Perfect, Comedy Central’s Workaholics) and Alexander Ludwig (Hunger Games).
Malin Akerman and Taissa Farmiga are starring in the meta movie which centers on a girl who, along with her friends, is mysteriously transported into the world of an iconic ’80s horror flick, which starred her recently deceased mother (Akerman), a famous scream queen. The group must try to survive the movie and defeat its crazed killer.
Mark Fortin and Joshua John Miller wrote the script. Michael London and Janice Williams are producing via their Groundswell Productions banner.
London has described the project as being “the unlikely child of Back to the Future and Friday the 13th.”
Middleditch will play a film geek for whom landing in a classic horror flick is a dream come true, until it turns into a nightmare. Dobrev will play the alpha ex-best friend.
