I caught this early promotional art for Rock Paper Dead on Instagram yesterday and I couldn’t help but feel excitement for this upcoming title. The thought of a serial killer maybe using the game of rock, paper, scissors to carve away at his victims is actually interesting!
In hopes of learning more, I reached out to those behind this movie and asked them about Rock Paper Dead. The film is currently in pre-production, so there wasn’t a lot for them to tell me. What I do know, though, is that the film is written by Victor Miller and Kerry Fleming. I know you will instantly recognize Victor Miller as the 3x Emmy Award Winner who wrote the original Friday the 13th in 1980.
Michael Coulombe is tapped to direct Rock Paper Dead. He’ll be assisted in this endeavor by producer Jeffrey Allard, most known for producing The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) and Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006). Also, Harry Manfredini, composer on titles such as Swamp Thing, The Hills Have Eyes II, and Slaughter High, as well as the Friday the 13th movies, is set to create original scores and composition for Rock Paper Dead.
The promo art featured above was created by Nathan Milliner.
There are a lot of horror heavy hitters involved with this production. I can’t wait to see what Mr. Coulombe has in store for horror fans with Rock Paper Dead. I’m going to keep all the readers up to date as this title moves forward with casting and other announcements!
