Genre regular Marcus Dunstan has just set up his next film! Clay Epstein’s Film Mode Entertainment (FME) and Roundtable Entertainment have announced that Dunstan will be directing All My Friends Are Dead, with Jade Pettyjohn of the School of Rock TV series on board to star.
John Baldecchi is producing All My Friends Are Dead, while Dominic Ianno, Jason Resnick, and Kevin Greutert serve as executive producers. Scripted by Josh Sims and Jessica Sarah Flaum, the film will tell the following story:
A group of close college friends get a steal on a killer Airbnb for the biggest music festival of the year. A weekend of partying quickly takes a turn for the worse, as the group is murdered one by one. They soon discover that each one of their deaths directly corresponds to one of the seven deadly sins.
Filming will begin in Canada during the first week of November. Baldecchi provided the following statement: “The script has an entertaining mix of humor and horror that appeals to the die-hard horror fans, comedy lovers, scaredy cats alike. The film, that is reminiscent of hits like Happy Death Day and is full of fun is also equally scary with clever plot twists that will keep you guessing until the very end.“
The press release notes that All My Friends Are Dead protagonist Sarah, which we assume is the role Pettyjohn will be playing, “serves as a conflicted anti-hero who reveals the everlasting consequences of cyberbullying and how past youth mistakes follow millennials into the future like never before.“
All My Friends Are Dead sounds interesting to me, so I look forward to seeing how it’s going to turn out. Are you interested in this one? Let us know by leaving a comment below.
Dunstan previously directed The Collector, The Collection, The Neighbor, Unhuman, and the Into the Dark movie Pilgrim. He has also co-written such films as the Feast trilogy, Saw 4 through 7, Piranha 3DD, and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.
