Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon are taking the title of their next film to heart. They’re set to direct the horror-comedy project “Family Movie” and star alongside their children, Travis and Sosie Bacon.

The foursome will produce for Mixed Breed Films alongside Norman Golightly at Dark Castle Entertainment. Neon International will represent the foreign rights and introduce it at AFM this week while CAA Media Finance will represent the U.S.

rights. The film, based on a screenplay by Dan Beers (“Premature”), follows an eclectic but tight-knit family of filmmakers who suddenly find themselves in a real-life horror movie when a body turns up on the set of their latest low-budget slasher.

As the production spirals comically out of control, they realize the only solution to keep filming is to cover up the murder, by any means necessary. “There may not be a more compelling Hollywood family than the Bacons,” says Dark Castle co-CEO Norman Golightly. “We can’t wait to bring their unique dynamic to the screen and then wildly turn it on its head for audiences.” Sedgwick’s other directing credits include the feature films “Space Oddity” starring Kyle Allen and Alexandra Shipp, and “Story of a Girl,” which earned her a DGA Award nomination.
