Siblings "Dismember" Daddy

The Leder kids have come together for "Cult-A-Mania", a UPN movie based on the life of their director father, Paul Leder. Brother Reuben has written the script for "Cult-A-Mania", which is about a man who ends up completing unfinished cult horror movies, and learns in the process. His sister Mimi will direct the project. Both siblings will executive produce the movie.

Paul Leder wrote, produced, and directed dozens of B-movies during the seventies and eighties, including "I Dismember Mama", "Sketches of a Strangler" and "Attack of the Giant Horny Gorilla". Linder died in 1996 of lung cancer at the age of 70.

Paul Linder's daughter Mimi followed her father into the film biz, directing several TV projects including "John Doe" and "The Beast", as well as movies like "The Peacemaker" and the upcoming Al Pacino action movie "Void Moon". Linder's son Reuben is a screenwriter who has penned episodes of TV series from "JAG" to "Flipper". He also wrote and directed this year's "Baltic Storm", in which a young German journalist discovers the truth behind the sinking of the "Estonia" in 1994, where more than 850 people drowned.
