First Look Studios proudly announces the acquisition of 2001 MANIACS: FIELD OF SCREAMS, the latest installment of the popular horror-comedy cult franchise. The film is set to premiere at the Texas Frightmare festival this April. The infamous Tim Sullivan (2001 Maniacs, Driftwood) returns to the writing-directing helm with 2001 MANIACS: FIELD OF SCREAMS. This time around the Southern residents of Pleasant Valley take their cannibalistic Guts N’ Glory Jamboree on the road to Iowa where they encounter spoiled Northern heiresses Rome and Tina Sheraton and the cast and crew of their “Road Rascals” reality show. Performing “The Bloodiest Show on Earth,” our Southern Maniacs prove to be more than ratings killers in what director John Landis calls “one of the rare sequels that surpasses the original.”
Steve Break, Vice President of Product, negotiated the deal on behalf of First Look Studios for 2001 MANIACS: FIELD OF SCREAMS with Yarek Danielak, managing director of Arsenal Pictures.
