Frank Grillo’s son says dad ‘didn’t take direction’ from him in terrifying new horror

Frank Grillo took “no direction” from his son Remy when they teamed up for a brand new horror flick.

Remy Grillo put on the director’s hat for 2023 movie The Resurrection of Charles Manson, which follows a couple staying at an Airbnb to edit a movie about the cult leader – only to find the horrific events coming true.

Starring Remy’s dad Frank as Robert and Jaime King as Annie, the film is set for release in the UK later this month.

But in an exclusive chat with Daily Star, Remy confessed there was “no direction taken” from him when it came to his Prison Break star dad.

It appears veteran actor Frank didn’t need it, having appeared in everything from the Marvel Cinematic Universe to The Purge franchise.

Remy explained: “We had a blast together, it was really fun. I grew up visiting him on set so I always got to watch him work but we’ve never worked together. So to see him do what he’s so good at but also have a collaboration together, it was a lot of fun.

“The weekend that he was there, a lot of problems had come up. At that point I was so beat down that a couple of times I was like, ‘Can you help me?’ and he’d put on the big movie star hat and help me figure a lot of these things out.”

The director added: “It was good to have someone there who has so much experience and has seen all those problems. We were just laughing the whole time. It was one of those weird things where we were like, ‘Can you believe we’re actually doing this?'”

And the pair are ready to team up for another project after a family bombshell inspired a second film.

Remy explained: “We always talk about doing something where we can really have fun together, when we have more time to work on it.

“My grandpa, he’s about to turn 90 – he’s the most Italian guy you’ve ever met. But I did 23AndMe last year, and I found out that 50% of my DNA was of Austronesian descent. No-one knew where it came from because my mom’s family was always 100% Italian and my dad’s were 100% Italian.

“Cut to a couple of months ago, my mom does it and has 30%, my grandfather has 45%. But his nieces, who should have been the same as my mom, had zero.

“So not only is he 90, thinking he’s 100% Italian, but he finds out his dad might not have been his dad. We’re trying to do something fun with that,” Remy vowed.

The Resurrection of Charles Manson will be available on Digital Download from 29th May and can be pre-ordered here.
