Fred Durst, the frontman of Limp Bizkit, is widely recognized as the icon of the late 1990s and early 2000s nu metal movement, yet his dedication to filmmaking persists, as per theprp. After honing his skills directing music videos for his band and artists like Staind and Korn, Durst ventured into feature films. His directorial credits include “The Education Of Charlie Banks” with Jesse Eisenberg, “The Longshots” starring Ice Cube, and “The Fanatic,” featuring John Travolta. Recent social media activity suggests that Durst is eager to direct a new horror film, potentially inspired by Markiplier’s adaptation of the 2022 video game “Iron Lung.” Durst has expressed his desire to enter the horror genre through social media comments, even responding to Jason Blum, the founder and CEO of Blumhouse Productions, about recent horror successes.

Durst has also recently engaged with the horror genre as an actor, appearing in the A24 film “I Saw The TV Glow” and portraying himself in the teen horror-comedy “Y2K.”
