“Better off Dead” director returns with “The Big One 3”
80s comedy director Savage Steve Holland (“One Crazy Summer”, “Better off Dead”) is returning to the genre that paid his bills with “The Big One 3,” his first feature film in more than 18 years, says The Hollywood Reporter<./I>.
Warren Zide is producing via his Flipzide Studios along with JB Rogers.
Zide described the script, which sat on Holland’s shelf for a while, as something that will compliment “Dead” and “Summer,” making it a trilogy of sorts.
“This is based on a true events in Savage’s life,” Zide said. “When he was a kid, he had his 13th birthday party and the only one that showed up was a clown, and all that that guy did was hit on his sister.”
The family comedy centers on a father who will do whatever he can to make his 13-year-old son’s birthday special because his was a disaster.
“The world needs another Savage movie, done today for today’s generation,” Zide said. “This is classic Savage.”
A fall shoot in New Orleans is being planned.
