“Creep” is creeping back.
Duplass Brothers Productions has accomplished filming “The Creep Tapes,” a TV series based on the Netflix movies “Creep” (2014) and “Creep 2” (2017). The project was independently produced and not using a distributor attached; CAA is now handling world sales.
Per the official description, “the series relies on a group of video tapes in the key vault of the world’s deadliest and most socially uncomfortable serial killer, who hires his victims to film him for the day under false pretenses. Each episode exposes a brand new victim from considered one of the fabled ‘Creep Tapes.’”
Mark Duplass co-wrote the unique movies together with Patrick Brice, who served as director. On “The Creep Tapes,” Duplass and Brice function co-creators with Brice directing all episodes. Chris Donlon serves as editor and executive producer, with Duplass, Jay Duplass and Mel Eslyn producing.
“The Creep Tapes” is considered one of several TV projects Duplass Brothers Productions has independently financed and produced before searching for out a buyer. In response to the decline of Peak TV, the corporate has opted not to hunt production funds from larger studios, as a substitute making their very own shows and dealing towards short-term domestic licensing deals that leave them answerable for their IP.
“Test it in your service. If it’s successful, we may be rewarded with an extended license,” Duplass said in an interview with Variety. “If it isn’t, we didn’t make you risk an excessive amount of. I can go sell in eight other territories around the globe to get whole again financially.”
