- Brandon Rogers wrote and directed 'Weird Party,' a horror comedy marking his feature filmmaking debut and produced by David Sigurani through Brandon Bored.
- Giancarlo Esposito (Better Call Saul), Jinkx Monsoon (RuPaul's Drag Race), and Debra Wilson (MadTV) headline the cast in roles opposite Rogers.
- Additional cast members include Jude B. Lanston, Gary Nohealii, Chad Damiani, Monica Franco, Lyle Rath, Johnnie Guilbert, Brandon Keith Rogers, Monique Parent, Paulette Jones, and internet comedian Syd Smith.
- Plot details are being kept under wraps, with the announcement revealing only genre and tone.
- Rogers brings an 11-million-follower social media platform and two billion lifetime views from his work on Prime Video's Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel, and is repped by Gersh and Brillstein Entertainment Partners.
Why it matters: Rogers is leveraging his internet-native fanbase into a legitimate film career, and securing Esposito, Monsoon, and Wilson — established screen and stage talent — as co-stars signals the project's pitch beyond a YouTube-to-feature crossover. The sealed plot suggests a distributor or sales deal may be in play.
