In my entire lifetime, I never would have expected to witness the image of a bloodied gingerbread man nailed to a cross. Now, I can finally cross that off my list of “Weird Shit To Witness.” And YOU can do the same! Just take a glance up at the official poster for GINGERDEAD MAN 2: PASSION OF THE CRUST! And yes, it already gets the 2008 award for “Best Sequel Subheading”. Last month, Eric showed you the first trailer here. Now, the flick’s writer/director, Sylvia St. Croix (who also co-wrote the original), talked extensively to Fango about the fresh-baked sequel. Have a taste:
“This film has a little something for everyone. Evil robots, angry dwarves, lusty old scream queens, vampires, possessed hand puppets, ‘Make-a-Wish’ kids, vigorous spankings, spaceships… not to mention the depiction of an evil spice cookie being relentlessly crucified for his sins. That alone is worth the price of admission, so just get drunk and watch the sucker. We like to think of the project as ‘sacrelicious.’ ”
I just have to say that that was a fantastic description and I will now most definitely be watching this flick when it comes out (I’ll have to snag part 1 too as I’ve yet to see it). It’ll be a GINGERDEAD Double Bill! For now, take a bite out of PASSION’s plot:
This time, the Gingerdead Man runs rampant in a fledgling low-budget movie studio that’s desperate for a hit. But before the film within the film, TINY TERRORS 9: PURGARTORY OF THE PETITE, even gets rolling, all hell breaks loose as the murderous and violent, yet chewy and delicious Gingerdead Man arrives to continue his bloody killing spree. His mission? To acquire a new vessel before his cookie body gets too stale and crumbles away.
Part Chucky, part SLAUGHTER STUDIOS, all cheese! Sounds like a blast of blood and baked goods! And it’s loaded with a ton of genre regulars, including FX artists Greg Nicotero, John Vulich (who also co-produced), as well as sexy Michelle Bauer (below), HATCHET director Adam Green, Kenneth J. Hall (HALFWAY HOUSE), David DeCoteau (THE BROTHERHOOD), and John Carl Buechler (TROLL) as the voice of the GINGERDEAD MAN. Buechler will be replacing crazy old Gary Busey (who voiced Gingy in part 1). Busey’s absence was apparently due to “schedule conflicts”, but I’m guessing he was too busy attempting to grope Jennifer Garner, allegedly. However, despite the Buse-man’s absence, it seems to me that the nasty look and feel of everyone’s favorite killer cookie remains in tact!
