One of the best horror-comedies out there is Eli Craig's TUCKER & DALE VS EVIL. We already let you guys know last week that there may be another adventure for Tucker and Dale in the works, but today we have word on Craig's next feature. It's a – you guessed it – horror comedy called BRIDE & DOOM from Argent Pictures and Mandalay Pictures. Described as CLOVERFIELD meets MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING the film will tell the tale of
a young couple struggling to hold onto their marriage during the worst possible wedding day imaginable.
I'd assume this means monsters from outer space. But who knows for sure. On top of directing this new flick, Craig (who also wrote and directed Netflix's LITTLE EVIL starring Adam Scott and Evangeline Lilly) will also pen the screenplay with Josh Parkinson (THE TERROR, FREE COUNTRY).
Craig said:
I’m an unabashed fan of wedding movies, but I think we’re past the point of seeing everything work out in the end. Everything doesn’t always work out, and weddings are sometimes the worst day of people’s lives. So let’s make an honest wedding movie for a change — let’s make it a horror movie! I couldn’t be more thrilled to co-write and direct this film with such a fantastic producing team, Ben Renzo, Ryan and Jill Ahrens at Argent, Jason Michael Berman at Mandalay and my stalwart writing partner on this, Josh Parkinson.
Producer Ryan Ahrens said:
We love the heightened commerciality of this project. Horror marries comedy in a clever way and with the multi-genre creative talents of Eli Craig steering this movie we feel even more confident about the potential cross over of this film. Bride and Doom will be a fun ride!
Producer Jason Michael Berman added:
I am thrilled to partner with Eli Craig on BRIDE AND DOOM, our third outing since our days at the USC School of Cinematic Arts. Bride and Doom will be a fun escapist horror film which will also have a heart. I am very excited to work with Jill, Ryan, and Ben once again on another great film.
Ahrens and Berman produce with Jill Ahrens and Ben Renzo. Executive Producers are Drew Brees, Tony Parker, Michael Finley, and Derrick Brooks.
