Michael Bay meets a maniac

Image Michael Bay will be producing a new horror film called Meet Jimmy, in which a maniac kills his listeners using podcasts. The plot of the film is based on the short film of the same name by David-Jan Bronsgist, according to the online edition Screen Rant.

"Meet Jimmy" will be the last to date in the list of horror movies that have come from short film to wide screen. Films such as "The Light Goes Out ...", "Babaduk", "Mama", "The Oculus" and "Trick or Treat", before they were filmed in full length, were also short films. The future project is similar in its plot to the cult horror film "The Ring", in which people who watched the damned video were killed seven days later. But if in "The Ring" evil appears in the guise of the ghost of a young girl Samara Morgan, then it tells the story of a serial killer named Jimmy Two Fingers, who strangles his victims with two fingers.

The production rights for the horror movie have already been acquired by Paramount, which intends to turn Meet Jimmy into a franchise. The same Bronsgist is appointed as the director, and the script will be written by the author of the text of the short original Tim Kumen.

Given the heightened interest in horror, film studios shouldn't be surprised that the genre can be profitable - provided the right stories are shot by the right people. If all goes according to plan, Jimmy Two Fingers may well be the next horror villain from Paramount.
