What if it was on a background of pop songs and through elaborate choreographies that Ghostface zigouilla one by one his victims? This is what the film offers The Premierewhere a man tries to build a musical inspired by the horror saga Scream.
Built like a [faux] documentary, The Premiere Follows a zealous producer, disproportionately ambitious and narcissistic in his quest for staging of a musical inspired by the cult film by Wes Craven. The catch? This producer will reject to various eccentric characters living in Hamptons, this American coastal region recognized for its upscale and luxurious character.
This first feature film signed Christopher Bouckoms and Sam Pezzullo therefore pays homage to the very first film of the famous franchise Screamwhose arrival in our dark rooms dates back to 1996. This film, considered among the most influential of the time, gave rise to five additional chapters. The sixth continuation is expected on our screens next February.
Other musical incarnations
And The Premiere is an entirely fictitious work, the story it tells is not so far -fetched; Over the years, various creators have been inspired by Wes Craven’s work to transpose it into a context of musical comedy. The director Troy Heard presented, in 2023, Scream’d: The unauthorized musical parody In a Las Vegas theater.
First presented at the Hamptons International Film Festival last year, The Premiere is expected on video on request from August 19.
