Tara Reid\u2019s Murder Mystery Party<\/p>\n
She won the Best Actress award at the Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival for the psychological thriller, which is streaming on Amazon Prime, Fandango at home, and other services.<\/p>\n
Dropping next is Tara Reid\u2019s Murder Mystery Party, a 25-episode \u201cvertical\u201d series, created to be viewed on smartphones. Vertical series episodes are generally one to three minutes long.<\/p>\n
The premise: The boss of an escort company is retiring \u2013 will one of the women take his place? \u201cIt\u2019s like a high-end Pretty Woman but different,\u201d Reid says. \u201cThe boss dies, and everyone thinks someone else did it, and you totally are convinced that person did it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The series\u2019 co-producers James J. Gutierrez and Don Worley also worked with Reid on the upcoming comedy movie Mandate, which co-stars Worley, Jon Lovitz and Chris Kataan.<\/p>\n
After six Sharknado movies, Reid insists, she\u2019s had enough of that sort of silliness. But she didn\u2019t rule out another go-round for the American Pie franchise, which ended with 2012\u2019s American Reunion.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u201cNever say never,\u201d she says. \u201cAnd right now it\u2019s kinda never. But I know there\u2019s a story there. There\u2019s something missing, but we don\u2019t really know what the answer is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Plans for letting Chicken Head loose on the world haven\u2019t been entirely worked out yet. \u201cWe don\u2019t want to count our chickens before they hatch, so to speak, but we have a great distribution agent,\u201d Nemec explains. \u201cAnd once we get it done, we\u2019ll discuss \u2018What is our game plan? What\u2019s the best approach?\u2019 There\u2019s a lot of avenues nowadays.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd the way we shot it, we have the option of being able to release it as a really tight hour and a half film, and then also be able to string it into six half-hour episodes, essentially a director\u2019s cut. You would see everything that\u2019s not revealed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nemec and his co-writer and co-star agree that having Tara Reid in their film ups the ante considerably. \u201cThese scenes will enhance the movie,\u201d Florio said. \u201cAnd make it better.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know if it\u2019s true, but I heard that the gopher in Caddyshack was added after the fact, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

In between scenes, Reid explained that she was invited onto the project through a family connection. \u201cIt\u2019s a funny comedy, and people are really going to like it,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s perfect for what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n
