Director Todd Berger is helming the satirical slasher movie The Big Kill for Live Nation Studios, with production having recently commenced, The Hollywood Reporter can exclusively reveal. The film pays tribute to Gen X and is set to popular 1990s songs.

When a killer starts hunting the group, the friends are forced to confront the darkest elements of their past. Berger (It's a Disaster) helms the film from a script by Emmy-winning Daily Show writer Daniel Radosh. Producers include Live Nation Studios and Mason Novick for MXN Entertainment. Ryan Kroft executive produces for Live Nation Studios. "Horror plus comedy set to '90s music equals a resounding yes for Live Nation Studios," Live Nation Studios head of film and television Kroft says. "With this fan-favorite cast and phenomenal producing team, The Big Kill is destined to be a horror hit." Adds Berger, "When I saw Scream in the theater as a teenager, it blew me away because it was a slasher movie filled with people my own age, talking the way we actually talked. But then, over the years, I noticed something about the protagonists of slashers - they weren't aging like the rest of us. So now, to get to make a horror comedy about fellow Gen Xers with kids and mortgages and ruminations on existential dread, and to do it with an incredibly witty script and amazing cast, is a dream come true." Novick says in his own statement, "Horror comedies are one of the toughest genres to land. It's so important to deliver on both the laughs and scares. We're so fortunate to have a cast that is both legacy horror actors and a bunch of really funny comedians, this way we have both great jokes and great kills."
