Kevin BaconandKyra Sedgwickare making it a family affair for their upcoming film.

“There may not be a more compelling Hollywood family than the Bacons,” Dark Castle co-CEO Norman Golightly told the outlet. “We can’t wait to bring their unique dynamic to the screen and then wildly turn it on its head for audiences.”

The film, titledFamily Movie, is based on the Dan Beers screenplayPremature, which follows an “eclectic” family of filmmakers on their quest to make their latest project.

However, the horror is shifted from the story’s plot to the family’s real life when a dead body turns up on their set — forcing the group to do whatever it takes to cover up the crime and complete their “low-budget” film.

Kevin, 66, and Kyra, 59, met on the set of 1988’sLemon Skyand then worked together in 2004 for bothCavedwellerandThe Woodsman. In January, the couple booked their first filmtogether in 20 years,The Best You Can, previously titledConnescence.

But the Bacons are no strangers to slasher films.

Kevin, known for his roles inFriday the 13thandHollow Man, most recently starred in 2024’sMaXXXine. Meanwhile, Sosie starred in 2022’sSmile.

“When she got this part [inSmile], even knowing how hard she had worked, and knowing she was good, when I saw the movie I was just really taken aback with,” Bacon toldThe Hollywood Reporterin October 2022. “Not only with how great she was but also how hard that role was, because it’s one of those parts where there is no break.”

“Usually, you start out and the character’s pretty happy for at least, you know, 15 minutes or 20 minutes before everything becomes horrible. But that’s a movie where the stress level is [insane]. I was very proud of her,” he added.
