A new horror flick is on the horizon and in production reports our friends at Deadline this morning. Ante Novakovic (Sanctioning Evil) is directing ‘THE SKULLETON’ with two-time Oscar nominee Bruce Dern (The Hateful Eight), Tyrese Gibson (Fast & Furious franchise), Shawnee Smith (Saw franchise), and Taryn Manning (Orange is the New Black)  starring.

Deadline notes: The film will follow Moira Cole (Smith) who attempts to move on with her shattered life after the brutal murder of her friends and family at the hands of her deranged and obsessed cousin, Lee Morris. Living a quiet suburban life with her deeply affected two adult sons, Moira is constantly reminded of her past, which is strewn across the screen every October, having been optioned into a popular movie franchise.

The flick was written by Anthony and James Gaudioso (Mid-Century).

Sorta sounds like what they did for the Scream series in a way but we’ll see how it plays out. No official release date has been set for the film either so we’re guessing this might not see theaters till mid Summer or early fall.

The film also features Damian Maffei (The Strangers: Prey at Night), Drew Moerlein (South of Hell), Alexander James Rodriguez(Netflix’s Bee and Puppycat), Jaime Zevallos (Marvel’s Cloak and Dagger), James Gaudioso (Mid-Century), and Anthony Gaudioso (What Josiah Saw).

Currently in production in the U.S. state of Connecticut, the film is produced by Rob Simmons of Jars Media Group (Sanctioning Evil), and DJ Doddof Future Proof Films (Devil’s Workshop), along with Anthony and James Gaudioso.

Laura Barbato of Twelve 83 Entertainment, Drew Morlein and Peter D’Amato serve as executive producers.

We’ll have more as it develops.
