Argent Pictures will be partnering with Mandalay Pictures on an original horror comedy titled BRIDE AND DOOM, and have tapped Eli Craig (Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, Little Evil) to direct and co-write along with Josh Parkinson (The Terror, Free Country). Argent’s Jill Ahrens, Ryan Ahrens, and Ben Renzo, and Mandalay’s Jason Michael Berman will produce the film. Executive Producers are Argent partners Drew Brees, Tony Parker, Michael Finley, and Derrick Brooks.

The film could best be described as Cloverfield-meets-My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Bride and Doom follows the tale of a young couple struggling to hold onto their marriage during the worst possible wedding day imaginable.

 “I’m an unabashed fan of wedding movies, but I think we’re past the point of seeing everything work out in the end,” says Craig. “Everything doesn’t always work out, and weddings are sometimes the worst day of people’s lives. So let’s make an honest wedding movie for a change — let’s make it a horror movie!”

“We love the heightened commerciality of this project,” says producer Jill Ahrens. “Horror marries comedy in a clever way, and with the multi-genre creative talents of Eli Craig steering this movie we feel even more confident about the potential cross over of this film. Bride and Doom will be a fun ride!”
