Kevin Bacon to co-direct 'Family Movie' starring himself and family members

Philly native actor Kevin Bacon and his wife, actress Kyra Sedgwick, will co-star and co-direct a film called "Family Movie," which will take the title quite literally.

The project is a horror-comedy that will also feature the couple's children, Travis and Sosie Bacon. The family members will portray an eclectic filmmaking family shooting a low-budget slasher film, Variety reports.

When an actual dead body turns up on their set, the fictional family works to cover up the murder to keep the comically chaotic production going.

Bacon and his three family members are producing "Family Movie" under Bacon's Mixed Breed Films label alongside producer Norman Golightly at Dark Castle Entertainment. Dan Beers ("Premature") wrote the screenplay.

"There may not be a more compelling Hollywood family than the Bacons," Golightly told Variety. "We can't wait to bring their unique dynamic to the screen and then wildly turn it on its head for audiences."

Both Bacon and Sedgwick have helmed films as directors before, though never as co-directors. Bacon directed "Losing Chase" (which stars Sedgwick) and "Loverboy" (which stars Bacon, Sedgwick and their two children).

Sedgwick directed "Story of a Girl" and "Space Oddity," both of which feature Bacon. Sosie and Travis Bacon also have filmmaking credits, with Sosie directing the short film "What We Got Wrong" and Travis co-writing and co-starring in "Keep Coming Back."
