Adam Sandler to produce horror movies

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Adam Sandler is going to launch a companion production company to Happy Madision called Scary Madison dedicated to producing horror-thrillers. The first film will be "Shortcut," about two teens who wonder why a shortcut in their town is avoided, only to find out why in violent and perhaps deadly fashion. Nick Goosen, who directed "Grandma's Boy" for Happy Madison.

I hope it's good as Sandler is a very affable guy. It will be interesting for sure to see whether the company's films inject comedy into the proceedings or play it completely straight. I'd guess that comedy will be present just because it seems unlikely that they'd go completely away from what they're used to. We'll see though. "Shortcut" begins filming next month in Canada.
