Looks like Judd Apatow is tired of the same old successful comedies that have become his calling card. Instead word says he is going to expand his horizons into the world of Horror.
What would an Apatow-produced slasher film from Rich and Hader be like? Says Bill: ‘It’s partially Straw Dogs meets Halloween meets Home Alone meets The Monster Squad.’ It’s hard to argue against that.
‘I don’t know if it’s even going to get made,’ Hader told me. ‘Judd met with us and said “I want to do a horror movie with you. I want to see you in a slasher movie.”‘
Sounds like some good silly fun. Apatow is comedy gold and Slasher Comedy might be a new side breed of the zomCom but still stands to be worth paying attention to.
If this does get made, count on seeing Leslie Mann as a Scream Queen!
