Looks like we have a female THROW MAMA FROM THE TRAIN on our hands. Which is to say, STRANGERS ON A TRAIN. Better yet, on a bus. Allow me to expound…
A new film from John Murlowski called NEXT STOP MURDER has just crossed our path, and looks like a shamelessly derivative but awfully good time. Why? Have you seen the two aforementioned films? That’s why!
Also starring Brian Krause, Rosa Blasi (below), Ian Duncan, Jordan Baker and the great Lin Shaye – NEXT STOP MURDER follows:
Two women from completely different backgrounds, one rich, one struggling law student, and each with their own problems, who meet by chance on a city bus. Afterwards, their lives will never be the same. Molly is a recently married working-class woman who rides the city bus to attend law school. Molly’s problem is Heather, her husband Jeff’s ex-wife and the mother of eight-year-old Gracie, with whom Molly is desperately trying to forge a bond. Heather is an irresponsible, drug-addict who is allowed supervised visitation of her biological daughter, but is nothing but trouble, and is fighting Molly’s attempt to legally adopt her daughter.
Sophie is the daughter of privilege, a twenty-six-year-old party girl, recently released from a mental institution, and now, with driver’s license revoked, this only child must ride the bus to shop for clothes and attend court appointments. Her problem is her old-moneyed, suddenly strict, widower father, Mr. Johanson, who cancels Sophie’s credit cards and cuts Sophie off from her open spigot of money. As their bus encounters continue, the two women bond over the obstacles in their lives, and, perhaps reading a bit too much into a throwaway comment made by Molly, Sophie suggests that they make each other’s problems disappear.
Sounds fun, right? F*ckin’-A it does!
No telling when we’ll see NEXT STOP MURDER, but stay tuned for more info soon enough.
