'Terrifier 3' star Lauren LaVera has had to stop work on her debut screenplay.
The 30-year-old actress has become the newest Scream Queen thanks to her role as Sienna Shaw in Damien Leone's slasher franchise, which sees her alter ego battle demonic killer Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton).
Sienna had started work on her own movie project but she has had to pause it because she has started filming new horror/thriller film 'The Monster'.
When asked by a fan on social media site X what was happening with her screenplay, Lauren answered: "I’ve been so busy filming that I’ve had to put it on the back burner. It’s a good problem to have, I just literally have no time. I’ll get back to it probably after the holidays."
Lauren recently describer her screenplay - which she is co-writing - as a "coming-of-age comedy".
She told Swagger Magazine: "I’ve been writing a coming-of-age comedy with my best friend about our time studying abroad in Europe, and just the shenanigans we got into."
Cameras started rolling on 'The Monster' this week in Danbury, Connecticut, and Lauren took to her X account to tell her followers that she'd "had such an amazing first day on set", adding "God I love my f****** job".
'The Monster' is being directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, best known for his work on the 'Saw' franchise, and also stars 'Blood Diamond' actor Djimon Hounsou.
The plot focuses on two millennials who make quick money by leasing incredible New York City apartments they don’t own to people who don’t know they are being scammed, but that con comes to an end when they encounter an apartment owner with a dark secret.
Lauren recently admitted she is ready to embrace her Scream Queen status and continue to work in the horror genre, but as well as her role in 'The Monster' she has been auditioning for some comedy roles.
Speaking to Swagger Magazine, she said: "I've been auditioning like crazy. I’d love to feed my creative love in a different way and try to do something more comedic next, so most of my auditions have been in that vein. I would still do horror, just as long as the story was different from what I've already done. Of course, I love horror and would be thrilled to continue in the genre, especially if it means working with Damien again!"
