The creature feature meets the social media age with the upcoming Tik/Croc, a new crocodile horror movie from Film Mode Entertainment and Jaggi Entertainment.
Deadline exclusively reports the news, noting that the in-development horror movie comes from writers Ryan Meharry (Raising Hope) and Yasmin Kassim (Jungle, Neighbors).
The website also previews, “The pic tells the story of an enormous crocodile that makes headlines when its terrifying rampage is caught on social media.
“With the world’s eyes set on witnessing the beast in action, a local high school student, desperate for cash and fame, sets out on a dangerous mission to capture it all on her TikTok account.”
“We’re thrilled to be working with the prolific Steve Jaggi on Tik/Croc, a relevant and fresh take on a classic beloved genre, including the magic and mayhem that social media has brought to the world at large, and has been ingrained in so many of us,” said Clay Epstein, president of Film Mode Entertainment. “The film will also attract a new generation of fans evidenced by the hugely successful Cocaine Bear.”
“We’re excited to be taking this evolutionary step into the adventure/horror genre with Tik/Croc,” said Steve Jaggi, CEO Jaggi Entertainment. “Queensland, with its tropical landscape, is the perfect location to shoot a croc movie. Married with a modern twist on the genre courtesy of a great script by Yasmin Kassim and Ryan Meharry, we can’t wait to get started.”
Film Mode Entertainment is handling worldwide sales rights.
