Comedy legends Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell are set to star in a new horror-comedy film, "Kenan & Kel Meet Frankenstein", which promises to deliver a fresh take on the classic monster story. The film follows two delivery drivers who unwittingly awaken Frankenstein's monster when they stop at a creepy castle for their routine drop-off.
Thompson and Mitchell will not only star in but also produce the film, marking their first joint project since reuniting for "Good Burger 2" in 2023. The comedy duo has previously collaborated on several projects, including the Nickelodeon made-for-TV movie "Two Heads Are Better Than None", which aired as a finale movie for their beloved sitcom "Kenan & Kel".
"We're excited to bring a fresh take on a classic monster story and have some fun doing it," Thompson said. Coming back together always feels natural, and this lets us tap into everything people love about our dynamic while trying something totally new," added Mitchell. The film is described as "funny, it's scary, and it's a great ride" - exactly what fans of the duo would expect.
The screenplay for the new film will be written by Jonah Feingold ("At Midnight," "31 Candles"), with Thompson and John Ryan Jr.'s Artists for Artists co-producing alongside Range Media Partners. The project is set to begin production this summer, with a sales deal handled by Range Media Partners.
"First it was Abbott and Costello, then Pryor and Wilder. Kenan and Kel," said Ryan Jr. "Think 'Shaun of the Dead' meets 'Scooby-Doo.'" With Thompson and Mitchell at the helm, fans are in for a treat that promises to be both nostalgic and fresh.
The announcement made during Amazon's sports talk show "Good Sports" has generated excitement among fans, who are eagerly anticipating their next collaboration. With a mix of comedy, horror, and adventure, "Kenan & Kel Meet Frankenstein" is shaping up to be an unforgettable experience for the beloved duo.
