‘Crumb Catcher’ – Twisted Home Invasion Movie Finds a Home at Doppelgänger Releasing
In the wake of the film’s Fantastic Fest premiere, Doppelgänger Releasing has acquired U.S. rights to the home invasion movie Crumb Catcher, Deadline reports this afternoon.
Chris Skotchdopole wrote and directed Crumb Catcher, and Doppelgänger Releasing plans on bringing the film to theaters later this year. Read on for more information.
In Crumb Catcher, “After blacking out on his wedding night, Shane (Rigo Garay) and his wife (Ella Rae Peck) head to a remote estate for their honeymoon. That night, there’s a knock at the door; a waiter and bartender from the reception, blackmailing Shane for something he can’t remember doing. But the blackmailers don’t just want money. They’re after business partners for their invention, an outlandish device called…the Crumb Catcher.”
“I started writing Crumb Catcher in 2016 as our country was being divided by the Great Hate Magnet. What emerged was a twisted tale of home invasion, two couples on opposing ends of the American Dream- a reflection of the absurdist times that in 2024, we are all still forced to participate in,” Skotchdople said in a statement.
“My intention was to make a thrilling and suspenseful film, but my hope is that these couples have more to reveal. I’m proud to partner with Music Box Films and Doppelgänger Releasing, a company that believes in community and that the lifeforce of independent film starts in a movie theater.”
Lorraine Farris and John Speredakos also star.
Of particular note, Larry Fessenden (Blackout) produced the film.
It’s been a few months since we’ve gotten an official update on Scream 7, but one thing we do know for certain is that Neve Campbell will be back as Sidney Prescott this time around.
And according to Campbell, the upcoming seventh installment will be a return to the franchise’s roots in the sense that Sidney Prescott will be the central character of the movie.
“We are going to follow Sidney,” Campbell confirms to ET Online this week.
“They did pitch the concept to me, and it’s the reason that I jumped on board,” Campbell adds. “I love these movies, they are so much fun to be a part of. I’m so grateful for them; I could never have imagined being a part of a movie that would have lasted this many decades.”
Sidney was featured as a supporting character in 2022’s Scream, while Campbell infamously did not return for the following year’s Scream VI due to a pay dispute. Those two movies, both directed by the filmmakers Radio Silence (Abigail), mixed a new generation of characters with the legacy characters, but much has happened since Scream VI released last year.
The franchise has been mired in controversy in the past several months, with new series leads Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega both exiting the project. Barrera was fired, while it was subsequently announced that Ortega wouldn’t be returning. At this time, we still don’t know if Jasmin Savoy Brown or Mason Gooding will be returning for Scream 7.
Original Scream scribe Kevin Williamson will DIRECT the upcoming Scream 7, with franchise mainstay Courteney Cox expected to also return as heroine Gale Weathers.
The upcoming Scream 7, which is currently untitled, was written by Guy Busick from a story by James Vanderbilt & Guy Busick. Stay tuned for more on the film as we learn it.
