The former Bray Wyatt is working on a feature film with Callosum Studios, according to a report.

Windham Rotunda's first post-WWE project was announced in an exclusive report by Metro.co.UK. Callosum's owner and special makeup effects artist Jason Baker says that he and Rotunda are collaborating on a movie.

"It’s a feature film and it’s something really new and different. I’d say probably the best way to describe it is Ichi the Killer meets Xanadu," Baker said.

Baker posted a photo on a Warner Bros. studio lot with Rotunda late last month, and says that the film project sprung out of some Hollywood meetings. Fightful Select was first to report on those meetings.

"We had some meetings out there and things happened and things got moving forward, and now we’re going and shooting this feature film with him and the end of the month," Baker said. "He’s a phenomenal collaborator, he’s become a really good friend, and we’re actually.. We’re starting a film at the end of the month."

Baker is the artist who created Rotunda's Firefly Fun House puppets, but says not to expect any of that in the new film.

"We’re not using any of that... We’re going in a completely different direction, a whole new thing," he said. "It should be fun. Hopefully fans of horror and fans of Windham like it."

Baker also states that filming for the movie begins shortly. "Two weeks to go, we’re filming in Tennessee," he said.

Rotunda's WWE non-compete clause expired on October 30 after he was released by WWE on July 31.

After creating various masks for former WWE superstar Bray “The Fiend” Wyatt, we’ve learned today that makeup effects artist Jason Baker is now making a movie with Wyatt.

Baker, who owns Callosum Studios and frequently creates magic for the world of professional wrestling with partner Tom Savini, will be directing Wyatt in the upcoming movie.

Jason Baker tells UK website Metro, “[Bray Wyatt (real name Windham Rotunda) is] a phenomenal collaborator, he’s become a really good friend, and we’re actually – you’re the first person that we’re publicly telling about. We’re starting a film at the end of the month.”

Baker continues, “Two weeks to go, we’re filming in Tennessee. It’s a feature film and it’s something really new and different. I’d say probably the best way to describe it is Ichi the Killer meets Xanadu.”

“Hopefully fans of horror and fans of Windham like it,” Baker also teases, suggesting that the mysterious upcoming movie is indeed a horror project. Baker is the mastermind behind Bray Wyatt’s recent “Firefly Funhouse” segments in WWE, which often featured creepy dolls and other spooky goings-on. We’ll have more on their latest collaboration as we learn it.

Rob Fee wrote the upcoming movie with Baker and Wyatt.

This seems MUCH more legit than I would have thought just reading the headline for the record. Probably still just gonna be a b horror movie that won't be received well, but all this shit is approved and they're about to start filming with Windham as a main creative party. Pretty cool regardless, and good for him using his connections

Stick to that and never wrestle again.
