Betty Boop Horror Reimagining ‘Boop’ Shopped at AFM With VMI Handling World Sales

Producers are pitching a revenge-driven feminist reinterpretation of the now public-domain icon at AFM through VMI Worldwide.

Overview

  • VMI Worldwide is introducing Boop to buyers at the American Film Market and serving as the film’s world sales agent.
  • Furst Class Productions is producing the indie feature directed by Jared Cohn from a script by Jose Prendes and Josh Ridgway.
  • Devanny Pinn stars as Boop alongside Katisha Shaw, Spencer Breslin, Eva Hamilton, and Colton Tran.
  • The announced synopsis follows horror podcasters who break into an abandoned theater and encounter a vengeful Boop.
  • Producers cite Betty Boop’s public-domain status and frame the project as a power-reclaiming, female-led take; no distribution deal or release date has been announced, and a first-look image has been shared.
