Looks like its bad news for cheerleaders and good news for B-horror fans. Lucky McKee (
May,
The Woman) and Chris Sivertson (
The Lost,
I Know Who Killed Me) have announced that they are collaborating on a
All Cheerleaders Die, a film which, based on the synopsis, sounds like a supernatural-horror version of
Heathers, except, I assume, with more dead cheerleaders.
Maddy Killian is a 17 year old rebel at Blackfoot High School on a
mission to take down the captain of the football team. She rallies a
group of cheerleaders around her cause, but after a tragic turn of
events, the girls are thrust into a supernatural battle that culminates
in a mayhem-filled night they will never forget.
McKee and Sivertson are actually going almost all the way back to their college days for this one -- the film is a reimagining of a shot-on-video feature they made together immediately after graduating from USC in 2001. Produced by Modernciné, the film is currently finalizing the cast, with Caitlin Stasey (
Tomorrow When the War Began) and Sianoa Smit-McPhee (
Hung) taking the lead roles.
