Gunpowder & Sky is a recently launched global studio, and they have announced a partnership with direct-to-consumer studio SUPERGRAVITY Pictures plus Jerome Sable and Nicholas Musurca to create a thriller/slasher set in the world of skaters and extreme street stunt performers desperate for internet fame. Sable is set to direct based on the script he is writing with Musurca.
This is the new feature film from the genre writing/filmmaking team of Sable & Musurca, who are best known for the Sundance award-winning horror musical short The Legend of Beaver Dam and their ABCs of Death anthology segment, “V Is for Vacation.”
“Twisted, talented, and visually compelling directors like Jerome don’t pop up very often,” said Gunpowder & Sky CEO Van Toffler. “He’s a mash-up of Wes Craven, Justin Lin, and John Carney in the best way possible, and we’re elated to be making his feature.”
This will mark the first joint production with SUPERGRAVITY Pictures, a company that Gunpowder & Sky invested in early on who is leading the way with compelling digital long-form content. Plot details of this gory thriller are being kept under wraps, but the story follows a small-town skate crew whose obsession with becoming internet-famous leads them into a trap of unrelenting horror.
“Van and [his partner] Floris [Bauer] have been supporters of SUPERGRAVITY from day one,” said Max Benator, Founder of SUPERGRAVITY. “Jerome and Nick are brilliant storytellers. The fact that we get to collaborate with all of them on this truly demented film project is just a total treat.”
“We’re thrilled to have found partners who are enabling our depravity as we try to push the boundaries of horror,” shared Sable.
Added Musurca, “Honestly, when people see the movie we’re making, it will be great to have collaborators to share the blame with us.”
Look for more soon!
