As a fan of both the horror genre and the Bacon family dynasty, I couldn’t be more thrilled about their upcoming project, “Family Movie.” It’s not every day that we get to witness a Hollywood family as compelling as the Bacons bring their unique charm and talent to the big screen, only to have it twisted into something truly terrifying.
In the terrifyingly fun world of horror-comedies today, Kevin Bacon has chosen to involve his entire family. His wife, actress Kyra Sedgwick, and their children, Travis and Sosie, are all set to join him in the upcoming movie titled “Family Movie”. Back in the ’80s, Bacon found a foothold in this genre through “Friday the 13th”, while Sedgwick has also dabbled in it with films like “The Possession” and more recently, “Villains”. This will be Travis’ first appearance in a feature film, but Sosie has already made her mark with the 2022 horror success, “Smile”.
In a new development, Bacon and Sedgwick are set to direct “Family Movie“, a production by all four members of the Bacon family under their own banner Mixed Breed Films. International distribution rights have been acquired by Neon, while Norman Golightly from Dark Castle Entertainment will produce. In an official statement, Golightly expressed excitement about the project, stating: “‘The Bacons’ may not have a more intriguing Hollywood dynasty. We can’t wait to display their distinctive chemistry on screen, and then add a thrilling twist for viewers.’” Dan Beers, who previously worked on “Premature“, will be in charge of scriptwriting, with the plot promising to be an exciting experience for both the Bacon family to film and audiences to watch.
The movie titled “Family Movie” centers around an unusual yet closely bonded family of filmmakers. When a corpse unexpectedly appears during the shooting of their latest low-budget horror flick, it seems they’ve stepped into a genuine horror story. Amidst the ensuing chaos, they come to understand that the only way to continue production is by concealing the murder, no matter what underhanded methods are required.
There’s Even More Horror To Come From Kevin Bacon
Family Movie isn’t the only horror project that Bacon has on the go right now. Following the success of 2024’s MaXXXine – which saw him appear as private investigator John Labat in Ti West’s epic conclusion to his X trilogy – he’s set to appear next in The Bondsman. The eight-episode horror drama was commissioned by Amazon in 2023, which has Blumhouse Television attached to produce.
Bacon takes on the role of Hub Halloran, a bounty hunter who mysteriously comes back to life, but finds that his profession has an eerie supernatural element. Joining him in the cast is Jennifer Nettles from the country music duo Sugarland, as well as Beth Grant, Damon Herriman, Maxwell Jenkins, and Jolene Purdy. Filming occurred earlier this year, with a projected premiere on Amazon Prime Video sometime in 2025, although an exact date has not been announced yet.
It’s clear that Bacon is quite occupied these days and seems to be thoroughly enjoying himself in Hollywood. Whenever he appears on screen, you can count on an enjoyable experience, and with his entire family involved in the movie Family Movie, we can expect a unique spectacle that showcases their individual talents. As more information about the production, including the release date, becomes available, we’ll keep you updated.
