Today is a good day for the genre of New Zealand Horror Comedy. Not only is Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi’s What We Do In The Shadows going to see more U.S. screens, but another film in the same niche, Gerard Johnstone’s Housebound is going to get an American remake via New Line.

Housebound follows a firebrand teenage girl being forced back into a family home that is possessed, but, being a rebel, she isn’t putting up with any fuss from demons/spirits.

No writer, cast, or director is set yet, but something that sounds like Attack The Block meets Amityville Horror hailing from NZ is a movie that we’re definitely up for.

New Line’s revival of the “Vacation” franchise already boasts a cast starring Ed Helms and Leslie Mann along with Christina Applegate, Chris Hemsworth, Charlie Day, Keegan Michael-Key, and Regina Hall.

Now, the revitalized Griswold family will have the likes of Tim Heidecker, Nick Kroll, Kaitlin Olson, and Michael Pena joining in the fun as well.

We’re sure this will make for one long, hell of a good trailer whenever that comes out sometime next year.

While Key & Peele continues to kill it in their 4th season, titular stars Keegan Michael-Key and Jordan Peele already have their off show schedule filled up with so many projects. A reboot of Police Academy, a potential spin-off movie for their character Mr. Garvey, a movie with Judd Apatow, and a web series “Ithamar Has Nothing to Say”.

Turns out their first feature length project of all of those to get into production will be another film entirely that follows a cat being stolen by a gang entitled “Keanu”. As far as we know, it doesn’t refer to the actor Keanu Reeves, but we’d be surprised if it didn’t play into the story somehow.

New Line has set production of Keanu to start in spring of 2015 and will hopefully be the start to where we’ll all get to see Key & Peele in various formats year round.
