Rapper/actor Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi can currently be seen on the big screen in the latest John Woo action film Silent Night, and now Deadline has reported that Mescudi has lined up his next acting project: he will be starring in and producing the animated monster movie Slime.
Slime will mark the feature directorial debut of animator / Baby Demon creator Jeron Braxton, who’s working from a screenplay written by The Boondocks‘ Brian Ash. The project is said to be “a classic monster movie decked out in fashion-forward video game skins that are wickedly satirical, scary as hell and trippy Af.” With this movie, Braxton is aiming to “build a sonic/visual experience that marries his distinct style with a trippy, elevating original soundtrack.”
Here’s the synopsis: In a not-too-distant, but all-too-dystopian future, Muna, an optimistic, but broke young woman, signs up for a paid medical trial. Hope...

When our own JimmyO interviewed director Ti West and star Mia Goth about their X (watch it at This Link) prequel Pearl (watch that one Here), West said that he and Goth crafted the script for Pearl together while he was spending two weeks in quarantine before he could start working on X in New Zealand. They would discuss the story and the Pearl character over FaceTime, then work on the script. During an appearance at the Savannah College of Art and Design during the 25th Scad Savannah Film Festival, Goth talked more about the scripting process – and revealed that the creepy smile Pearl gives at the end of the film was something West just thought of when they were on set that day.
