Arclight Films has come aboard to rep world rights to the in-production Snoop Dogg starrer Hood of Horror, according to Variety. The sales banner will offer the pic — from horror specialist BloodWorks and partner Social Capital Films — in Cannes. Produced by Snoop Dogg, along with Gordon Steel and John Baca, and additionally stars Ernie Hudson, Danny Trejo, Method Man, Jason Alexander and Billy Dee Williams, the film follows three terrifying inner-city tales of people whose actions in this life determine their fate in the next. “Hood” includes anime sequences created by the Madhouse label, under guidance of f/x guru John Gaeta. “We are definitely looking at this film as a franchise property along the lines of ‘Scary Movie,’ ” said Christopher Tuffin, who produced with Martin Shore, Ted Chung, Jonathan McHugh and Tim Sullivan. “We want to push the envelope combining humor and gore.” Stacy Title helmed the pic, from a screenplay by McHugh, Tim Sullivan (2001 Maniacs), Chris Kobin and Jacob Hair.
