Rob Zombie And Mila Kunis Teaming Up For A Horror-Comedy Series On STARZ
Rob Zombie’s latest film ’31’ has just wrapped produnction and he’s not taking any time off. Zombie is teaming up Mila Kunis (Ted, Black Swan) to produce a new horror-comedy series coming to STARZ. The thirty minute series, titled ‘Trapped’, will also be directed by Zombie. The script for the series will be written by Joey Slamon, who is also the shows creator. Slamon is also behind the series ‘Arrested Development’. ‘Trapped’ takes place over one night in the home of a wealthy family. The home and family is under attack from a blood thirsty cult. There has not been announcements about cast or when the series will air, but my guess would be that ‘Trapped’ will premier in summer 2016 or early 2017. I’ll admit that Kunis and Zombie teaming up seems like an odd combination, but both of them bring something different and a lot of experience to the table, which may have great results.

Get Out takes on the task of exploring race in America, something that hasn’t really been done within the genre since Night of the Living Dead 47 years ago. It’s long
