There’s some films out there that we’ve been telling you about for a long ass time now. These are little indie flicks that catch our attention before rattling around for a couple years leading to some distribution deals. Well today I’ve got some release news for one of those very films!
Jordan Galland’s ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE UNDEAD is the latest little genre flick to score a distribution deal! You see it’s just been announced that the horror/comedy will be coming at us from Indican Pictures, and they’ve even got a limited theatrical release planned starting April 16th! To celebrate Indican Pictures’ official website released a dozen stills, which can be found above and below.
The film stars Jake Hoffman, Devon Aoki, John Ventimiglia, Jeremy Sisto, Joey Kern and Ralph ‘The Karate Kid’ Macchio. Here’s the synopsis: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Undead is a comedy that explains the connection between Hamlet, the Holy Grail, and some very sexy vampires. Julian Marsh is an out of work and unsuspecting ladies man who still lives in the apartment above his Dad’s medical office. Frustrated by his son’s lack of a career, the good doctor cuts a deal with one of his creepy patients and gets Julian a job directing an off-Broadway play. The play is a bizarre adaptation of Hamlet written by a pale Romanian man named Horatio who is actually a master vampire. Julian recruits some New York actor buddies and a longtime ex-girlfriend to star in the show and they find themselves smack dab in the middle of a two thousand year old conspiracy. Forget about the garlic and the holy water only the Holy Grail itself can save them now if only being undead wasn’t so much God-damned fun!
We’ll be on the lookout for a DVD release and some theater listings for that limited release so be sure to keep it here for ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE UNDEAD updates as we hear them!
