If you hear the name Sandler, what’s the first thing you think about? Horror movies, right? No, I’m only kidding, however, as time goes by, the idea of a “Sandler Horror Movie” may not seem so far-fetched. The reason? Mr. Sandler’s first foray into the scary business, a flick called THE SHORTCUT that will soon be hitting the big screen.
No, the Adam will not be starring in this flick, but a new extension of his production company, Happy Madison, will be producing it. The new branch is called Scary Madison and if Mr. Sandler has created an entirely new branch, you can bet your ass that it won’t be for just one movie. Anyways, the first poster for SHORTCUT is up top. It basically looks like your typical horror/suspense poster, which at least shows that Scary M. is off on the right foot. The plot for SHORTCUT walks like this:
Two brothers come upon a rarely used shortcut in their new town-and soon discover the reasons why it’s so rarely used.
Well, if done right that synopsis could turn out to be pretty terrifying. I’m interested to see how Sandler’s crew handles it. The script was written by Scott Sandler and Dan Hannon with Nicholaus Goossen on as director. The cast includes Shannon Marie Woodward, Katrina Bowden, Andrew Seeley, Dave Franco, and Nicholas Elia.
