Script Bits - Sharks, Indies, and Thrillers, oh my...


.

News this week about scripts shooting now and in the future. This week features news of Louisiana film shoots, horror films, sequels, and much more.

 

After the relative success of throwback horror film, “Piranha”, Sierra Pictures and Incentive Entertainment are moving forward with, “Shark Knight 3D”. The script, written by Jesse Studenberg and Will Hayes, follows a group of college friends who get together for a standard weekend of partying at a lake, only to discover that it is infested with sharks. Casting is currently underway, and American Idol alumni Katherine McPhee just signed on. Pic will lens in Louisiana.

 

Also due to shoot soon in Louisiana is Joel Schumacher's, “Trespass” starring Nicholas Cage and Nicole Kidman, in which a married couple finds themselves the center of a quick cash kidnapping plot gone awry.

 

Eric Helsserer has finished a shooting draft of, “Final Destination 5”, which has been given a release date of Aug. 26, 2011. The script, which follows in the footsteps of the franchise's other gross-out death scenes, includes scenes with a suspension bridge and laser eye surgery. You can probably fill in the blanks from there...

 

Indie thriller, “The Grief Tourist” is also slated to begin production soon and an announcement was just made that “Breaking Bad” star Bryan Cranston will play the lead role. In a script by Frank John Hughes, the story centers on a lonely man whose hobby of intensely researching serial killers takes a twisted turn due to an unexpected event.

 

Indie comedy “Should've Been Romeo” is collecting quite the cast as it films in Los Angeles. Actors Carol Kane, Ed Asner, Michael Rappaport, Kelly Osbourne, and more have already worked on the shoot. The script, by Ben-Victor, Greg Ferkel, and Leah Kornfeld Friedman follows a self-centered middle-aged ad man who loses his job and takes on his aging grandfather all at once.
