Open Road Films will release A HAUNTED HOUSE – which stars Marlon Wayans, Cedric The Entertainer and Essence Atkins (TBS’s Are We There Yet?) – nationwide on January 11, 2013. Directed by Michael Tiddes, A HAUNTED HOUSE isproduced by Rick Alvarez and Marlon Wayans. Executive producers are Stuart Ford, Deepak Nayar, Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Steve Squillante and LisaBlum.
A HAUNTED HOUSE also stars David Koechner and Nick Swardson. In an outrageous send up of the Paranormal Activity movies, The Devil Inside and other “found footage” movies, A HAUNTED HOUSE features young couple Malcolm (Marlon Wayans) and Kisha (Essence Atkins) who have just moved in to their dream house. As they settle in, they quickly find they’re not alone. But it’s not the house that’s haunted, it’s Malcolm’s girlfriend who is possessed by a demon. Malcolm hires everyone from a priest to modern day ghostbusters to rid her of this unwelcome intruder, determined not to let the evil spirit ruin his relationship... or, more importantly, his sex life.
"If you are looking to laugh uncontrollably, this movie will do it to you," stated Ortenberg. "This will be our second project with Jim Stern and the great people at Endgame and with them, IM Global, and, of course Marlon Wayans and Rick Alvarez, we have a team we are very excited about."
Open Road Films is a new and this will be a big film for them to test their success. I think it sounds fun although the Scary Movie franchise has milked this type of thing way too much. However as I grow increasingly sick of Paranormal Activity type movies, I think a comedic version is needed to balance things out. I look forward to the checking out A Haunted House.
