Sony Pictures has acquired the action horror-comedy Hell Naw, with Scott Mescudi aka Kid Cudi attached to star and the infamous Sam Levinson (Creator of Euphoria) producing. Screenwriters Keith & Kenny Lucas are writing the script, who also wrote ‘Judas and The Black Messiah’. Mescudi and Levison will also serve as producers.
Although not many details have emerged about the plot we have learned that the film is set during Paris Fashion Week and there will be zombies. In a recent interview rapper Kid Cudi spoke about the project;
“This movie has been five years in the making. I am telling the world now, this film will f*ck you up in all the best ways,” said Mescudi. “I have been a horror fan since I was 7 years old, The first horror movies I ever saw were Night of the Living Dead and Evil Dead. And from that point on, I was hooked on the feeling of being frightened. I’ve been wanting to get into this world creating my own stories for a long time, and now, and after years of working it out in my head, it’s finally happening. Sam, The Lucas Brothers and myself have really crafted a tale we feel everyone who’s a fan of horror and comedy will enjoy. You will laugh, oh yes you will, but the horror aspect of this movie will really be something to see. You will be shook. I promise. Y’all know I don’t play around.”
