Three years ago, it was announced that Freaky (watch it HERE) collaborators Michael Kennedy and Christopher Landon would be teaming up again to bring us a new genre project called Time Cut, which was being described as “Back to the Future meets Scream” – and now, Time Cut has finally made its way out into the world! The movie is available to watch on the Netflix streaming service (you can read our review at THIS LINK), and in the build-up to the release JoBlo’s own Tyler Nichols had the chance to sit down for an interview with the film’s director, Hannah MacPherson, as well as the stars of the film, Madison Bailey and Antonia Gentry. You can find out what they had to say about Time Cut by checking out the video embedded above.
Although Landon directed Freaky, for Time Cut he passed the helm over to Hannah MacPherson, director of Sickhouse and the Into the Dark film Pure. Kennedy wrote the initial script with Crazy Ex-Girlfriend story editor Sono Patel, then MacPherson got involved in the writing process as well. Landon produced the film with Matt Kaplan’s ACE Entertainment.
Landon and Kennedy are both known for putting slasher twists on familiar concept. Landon directed the time loop slashers Happy Death Day and Happy Death Day 2 U, as well as the Kennedy-scripted body swap slasher Freaky. Kennedy also wrote It’s a Wonderful Knife, which was a slasher take on It’s a Wonderful Life. So a “Back to the Future meets Scream” movie is right in line with those films.
Time Cut shows us what happens when a teenage girl travels back to the early 2000s to stop a vicious killer from murdering her sister. Bailey and Gentry are joined in the cast by Michael Shanks, Griffin Gluck, Summer H. Howell, Rachael Crawford, Megan Best, Sydney Sabiston, Adam Hurtig, Samuel Braun, Kataem O’Connor, Jordan Pettle, Chess Tomlinson, Dutchess Cayetano, Gwendolyn Collins, BJ Verot, Colleen Furlan, and Elena Howard-Scott.
