Kevin Bacon, Kyra Sedgwick, Sosie Bacon and Travis Bacon collaborated on a new film described as a “Family Movie,” but distinct from a reality show depiction of their lives. The family intentionally distanced themselves from portraying their real-life dynamics in the project.
The actors emphasized that the film wasn’t about them personally. According to Variety, Kevin Bacon explained, “What was cool from the very first read was that it wasn’t us. We didn’t want to play ourselves.” He further elaborated on this creative choice, stating there's already plenty of public knowledge regarding their family and its dynamics, but they intentionally avoided mirroring those aspects in the film.
The project is described as “bloody,” leading to a discussion about the family’s apparent comfort with darker themes. Bacon jokingly attributed this to their personalities, saying, “We are really twisted people.” The source does not specify the plot or genre of the film beyond its violent elements, but highlights that the actors found humor in the violence portrayed.
The collaboration appears to be a deliberate artistic endeavor rather than an attempt at self-documentation. The family aimed for a fictionalized portrayal, distancing themselves from simply recreating their own lives on screen.
We don't rate truth. We strip the spin and show you which perspectives covered the story. You decide.
