Last month we brought along some vague details about Don Coscarelli’s new project, JOHN DIES AT THE END, which sounds like a trip and a half. It was already boasting a cool cast, headlined by Paul Giamatti and Clancy Brown, and now Coscarelli has added to its coolness.
AintItCoolNews got the scoop that Coscarelli has brought in a handful of familiar faces to join Giamatti and Brown. Doug Jones (HELLBOY), Glenn Turman (the sciene teacher from GREMLINS), Daniel Roebuck (the doomed Dr. Arzt from “Lost”) and, of course, Angus Scrimm (PHANTASM) are all going to watch John die at the end.
Here’s the synopsis for JOHN DIES AT THE END, which is based on a book by David Wong: It’s a drug that promises an out-of-body experience with each hit. On the street they call it Soy Sauce, and users can drift across time and dimensions. But some who come back are no longer human.
Suddenly a silent, otherworldly invasion is underway, and mankind needs a hero. What it gets instead is John and David, a pair of college dropouts who can barely hold down jobs.Can these two stop the oncoming horror in time to save humanity?
No. No, they can’t.
Coscarelli is currently shooting JOHN DIES AT THE END in L.A. No release date has been set.
