Michael Bay to Produce Half to Death

People really hate Michael Bay, and I don’t get it. The guy makes good movie. Sure, they’re not award-winning films, but who wants to win awards all the time? Fudge that, I say. As long as a movie is entertaining, it’s worth the price I’m paying to see it. And if you don’t like Bay’s movies, why would you pay to see them, only to complain about them? That’s your own damn fault. Speaking of Bay, he’s producing a movie called “Half to Death”, which sounds a lot like a bloodier version of the Bill Murray movie “Groundhog Day”.

Here’s the plot from Filmjerk:

A young college freshman named Teresa is troubled by when she discovers she is living the same day over and over again, one that starts out innocently enough but always ends with her brutal murder by an unknown attacker. Could the murdered be her boyfriend Gregory, who is also sleeping with Teresa’s roommate Lori? Or could it be Lori, who is ferociously envious that Gregory might like Teresa more? Maybe it is one of Teresa’s classmates, unable to get her attention? Perhaps one of her professors, who cannot consummate their passion for their top student? Or perhaps it’s some secret Skull & Bones-type society, who picked Teresa for no good reason to be their ritualistic sacrifice? It’s like “Single White Female” meets “Groundhog’s Day” meets “Captivity,” and certain to be just as terrifying.

Sounds pretty good, right? Certainly high-concept enough. Hey, I’m there for the DVD (since, you know, I don’t go to the theaters to see anything that doesn’t have at least 10 explosions in it).

Written by Scott Lobdell, the film will mark the Hollywood debut of Finnish director Antii Jokinen.
