As I delve deeper into this captivating narrative of the Bacon family, I am struck by their remarkable journey in both acting and music, with a particular penchant for the chilling genre of horror. The Bacons are not just entertainers; they embody the very essence of the genre they love – a blend of drama, comedy, and the unexpected.


In the upcoming movie titled “Family Movie,” Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick will both direct and act, with their kids, Travis and Sosie Bacon, joining them on screen as co-stars.

66-year-old Kevin Bacon, who played Footloose, and his Closer co-star, 59-year-old Kyra Sedgwick, will not only star in the upcoming horror-comedy but also direct it, as reported by Variety. They have two children, Travis (35) and Sosie (32).

The upcoming movie, scripted by Dan Beers (the writer of Premature), will be jointly produced by Mixed Breed Films and Norman Golightly from Dark Castle Entertainment.

The premise of the project follows a tight-knit family of moviemakers who suddenly find themselves in a real-life horror film when a body appears on the set of their low-budget slasher.

With the situation worsening by the day, it becomes clear to the family that the only means of salvaging their project is through concealing the crime committed at any expense.

In a statement, Dark Castle’s Golightly said: ‘There may not be a more compelling Hollywood family than the Bacons.’

We’re eagerly anticipating showcasing their distinctive style on-screen, and later, we plan to surprise viewers by offering a fresh, unexpected take.

At present, the production team for Family Movie is working through early planning stages, and as of now, a specific release date has not been set.

In terms of the entertainment world, neither Bacon nor Sedgwick’s offspring are novices either.

Sosie is experienced with multiple projects and starred as the main character in the 2022 horror movie titled Smile.

In addition to my own performances, I had the privilege of sharing the screen with my beloved mother in the series “Closer,” and more recently on the popular Netflix production, “13 Reasons Why.

In an earlier conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, Kevin expressed that he was taken aback by his daughter’s decision to pursue acting, as it mirrored the paths they (Kevin and Kyra) had chosen.

In 2022, he mentioned that we hadn’t realized she had a genuine passion for acting and was determined to pursue a career in it following that point.

However, once she reached her mid-twenties and made up her mind about her career path, she chose to leave college and relocate to Los Angeles instead.

Bacon stated, “He truly began to act wisely. He hit the streets constantly, recording self-tapes one after another, and he studied diligently.

He also opened up about his family’s ‘tradition’ of stepping into the horror genre, and stated, ‘In a weird kind of way, we have a horror tradition in our family. One of my earliest movies was the very first.’

Over 40 years earlier in 1980, Kevin notably starred in Friday The 13th.  

As a connoisseur of all things chilling, I’ve always admired the unique ability of horror to tackle complex societal issues. This was something I shared during my conversation with Harper’s Bazaar.

Due to its borderline absurdity that leans into comedy, yet carries significant heft, even surpassing typical comedic weight.

The star went on saying, ‘It has a sharp, dramatic quality that allows for intense scenes, but also includes absurdly humorous, exaggerated moments.’

Besides her roles, Kyra has been featured in the genre as well. These include the 2012 movie “Possession” and the 2019 film titled “Villains”.

According to his IMDb profile, Travis Bacon is a musician who has created music for the movies Space Oddity (2022) and Weekend Deadaway (2024).

Apart from that, he’s the lead singer for the heavy metal group, CONTRACULT Collective, and much like his kin, he enjoys horror movies as well.

2022 saw him unveiling Slashtag Cinema, a fresh, terrifying realm of short horror films.

Additionally, Travis disclosed that he and two of his good friends would be involved in every aspect of the project, with him being the writer, director, composer, and co-star of the shorts.

In 1988, Kevin and Kyra got married; they then became parents to Travis in 1989 and Sosie in 1992, three years after that.

Previously, the MaXXXine actor disclosed the key to their enduring marriage in an interview with Today, stating, “There’s no hidden trick.

‘Never have the secret. The secret is don’t ask a celebrity on how to stay married,’ Bacon continued. 

Concerning difficulties, Kyra stated, ‘It’s tough to realize that someone we care about will face loneliness someday. The reality is, someone will experience solitude, and that’s deeply sad.’

In my opinion, I firmly believe that embracing the concept of having an end-of-life plan isn’t something to shy away from. It’s about acknowledging the inevitable and ensuring peace of mind in the present.

Today marks a special occasion for you, an opportunity to create new memories by doing something unique. Savor the moment, as it often makes experiences more meaningful.
