Eli Roth and
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson have come together for a three-picture deal with 3BlackDot, and
Deadline brings us the scoop on those three movies this afternoon.
Titled
The Gun,
Trackmaster, and
Creature House, all three projects are horror movies!
Deadline reports, “The movies hail from a diverse group of writers—
Kirkland Morris (
BMF;
Power Book IV: Force),
Justin Calen-Chenn (
Bel-Air,
Limited Edition),
Dallas Jackson (
Blumhouse’s Thriller;
The System), and
Kevin Grevioux (
King of Killers;
Underworld)—whose stories focus on increasing BIPOC representation.”
Here’s the full breakdown from Deadline…
“The Gun comes from Kirkland Morris. When a young man with a bright future seeks to get revenge for his father’s murder, he finds a gun that is haunted by an evil force.
“Trackmaster is written by Justin Calen-Chenn. A burgeoning rap duo uses a beat of mysterious origins in their new single and accidentally unleashes an ancient spirit that brutally murders anyone who hears it. After the young rappers make this discovery, the race is on to stop the song’s release.
“
Creature House is from Dallas Jackson and Kevin Grevioux. After the untimely death of a legendary make-up and visual effects guru, a group of his friends and foes gather at his studio, only to find themselves trapped in the artist’s horror movie museum as the exhibition creatures supernaturally come to life.”
“It was extremely important to me that through my horror slate we focus on increasing BIPOC representation. I feel like I have the best team in place here to do so,” said Jackson.
“I’m a huge fan of 50 as an artist and producer and am so excited to bring these stories to life. The whole team has put together an exciting trio of films which will terrify and thrill audiences globally,” Roth said in his own statement to Deadline.
Electromagnetic Produce will produce alongside Jackson’s G-Unit Film & Television.
