What’s this? An “original” idea for a horror film? With comparisons to This Is the End and Scream, a new horror comedy is heading our way directed by Andrew Jay Cohen and Brendan O’Brien, the writers of Neighbors. Here’s your first word on Thrill Ride.
Per Deadline, Fox has bought Thrill Ride, which will be written by Peter Warren (“Happyland”). Chernin Entertainment will produce with Cohen and O’Brien. Here’s the early synopsis:
At a particularly cruel high school, bullying has become the norm. For Senior Night the school rents out an amusement park, where the entire senior class can ride the rides and play the games as much as they want with no lines and no rules. The only drawback: Students start dying on the rides in elaborate ways. All the exits are sealed, and there is a killer on the loose, turning all the rides into ways of punishing the bullies and so-called bad people at school. Kids from different cliques have to band together to figure out who the killer is and how to stop them.
