Grammy-nominated music video director Cooper Roberts is making his feature directorial debut with “All You Need Is Blood.” Yale Entertainment just released some first-look images that make the movie seem like it’ll be a bloody fun ride.
The upcoming horror-comedy will star Logan Riley Bruner (“Stranger Things”), Neel Sethi (“The Jungle Book”), Mena Suvari (“Don’t Tell a Soul”), comedian Eddie Griffin (“Scary Movie”), and newcomer Emma Chasse.
“When a strange meteor lands in his backyard and turns his deadbeat father into a brain-eating zombie, a 16-year-old aspiring director teams up with his friends to create the ultimate student film,” explains writer/director Roberts.
Yale Entertainment’s Jordan Yale Levine, Jordan Beckerman, and Jesse Korman will produce along with Russell Posternak. Executive producers include Scott Levenson, Clay Pecorin, Russell Geyser, Brian S. Unger, Eric Broughton, Roz Rothstein, and Yale Entertainment’s Michael J. Rothstein and Jason Kringstein. Worldwide sales for the film are going through Yale Entertainment’s sales banner, Great Escape, led by Nick Donnermeyer.
“It’s a zombie film but I love it because of how much heart it has,” said Korman. “At its core, this story has so many meaningful themes it’s exploring, buried under the carnage.”
“Cooper [Roberts] has a tremendously assured vision with this project,” Donnermeyer added. “He’s gotten some great performances from his actors and the production just looks fantastic overall—all the more impressive for a debut feature.”
