April Fool’s Day is quite an apposite release date for Quentin Dupieux’s killer-tire flick RUBBER, after-all, is the flick one long inside joke or a true genre effort not to be reckoned with? While I’m leaning towards the former, the next few months will certainly tell…
Also available via VOD on February 25th, Apple has just debuted a new trailer for RUBBER, which you can find below. I get the feeling the film will be durable for about 15-20 minutes, then, like a bad SNL flick, will get really old and really, um…tired…pretty f*ckin’ fast. Hopefully I’m proved wrong!
Starring Stephen Spinella and Roxanne Mesquida:
RUBBER is the story of Robert, an inanimate tire that has been abandoned in the desert, and suddenly and inexplicably comes to life. As Robert roams the bleak landscape, he discovers that he possesses terrifying telepathic powers that give him the ability to destroy anything he wishes without having to move. At first content to prey on small desert creatures and various discarded objects, his attention soon turns to humans, especially a beautiful and mysterious woman who crosses his path. Leaving a swath of destruction across the desert landscape, Robert becomes a chaotic force to be reckoned with, and truly a movie villain for the ages. Directed by legendary electro musician Quentin Dupieux (Steak, Nonfilm), aka Mr. Oizo, RUBBER is a smart, funny and wholly original tribute to the cinematic concept of no reason.
Wings Hauser, Haley Ramm, Hayley Holmes, Jack Plotnick, Daniel Quinn, Remy Thorne and Tara Jean O’Brien also take part in the picture.
