Wiseau, known for writing, directing and starring in The Room (the so-bad-it's-good 2003 cult hit), plays the lead character — a bounty hunter in search of his long-lost love — in the new film, which is set in a bleak Los Angeles.

Wiseau didn't helm this effort; it was directed by Jennifer Juniper Stratford of production company Telefantasy Studios. Scary Love is described as "a science fiction tale told in the style of classic B-movies and outfitted with practical special effects, laser beams and lunatic ideas which are guaranteed to make it the next big midnight movie hit." While initially planned as a music video, he says he will be expanding the project out into a feature film.

It has been 14 years since Wiseau made The Room but the enigmatic director-actor has found himself back in the spotlight with The Disaster Artist. Franco, who played Wiseau in the pic, won a Golden Globe for his work.

Greg Sestero (who wrote the book on which The Disaster Artist was based and also appeared in The Room) and Wiseau recently shot a new film, Best F(r)iends. The movie, which follows a man (Sestero) who meets a lonely mortician (Wiseau) and embarks on a wild journey, will be released in two parts: Volume One on March 30 and April 2, and Volume Two on June 1 and June 4.

The duo also recently had the first-ever wide release for The Room, which hit 600 theaters on Jan. 10. The film continues to have special screenings all over the U.S. this week.
