Not too long ago, Jared P. got the word out on a new rock ’n roll vampire horror comedy called SUCK. The flick seems to have a lot going for it with a fantastic cast of accomplished actors as well as legendary rock stars. Let’s run off the list real quick: Jessica Paré (below), Malcolm McDowell, Dave Foley, Rob Stefaniuk (the movie’s writer/director), with musicians Alice Cooper, Jessica Paré, Malcolm McDowell, Dave Foley, with Rockers Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop, Moby, Henry Rollins, Alex Lifeson, Dimitri Coates and Carol Pope. Calico Cooper (Alice’s daughter), Iggy Pop, Moby, Henry Rollins, Alex Lifeson, Dimitri Coates and Carol Pope. Not a bad list at all.
And today, the full synopsis from the flick has been revealed. Take a look: A group of musical wannabees are in search of immortality and a record deal. The rock band The Winners have sunk so low, they will do anything to make it big. After a life-changing encounter with a vampire, they rocket to stardom only to discover that fame and fortune are not all they’re cracked up to be.
Stefaniuk stars as the lead singer of The Winners, Paré plays bass and is the first bandmember to succumb to blood lust, McDowell plays a vampire hunter who is afraid of the dark with Dave Foley as the band’s manager. Coates plays the vampire who converts the band, Pope, a club manager, Rollins, a radio show host, and Moby, the lead singer in the rock band—Secretaries of Steak. Iggy Pop plays a music producer and Calico Cooper, a bar maid alongside Alice Cooper who plays a sinister bartender who haunts the lead singer.
I’m sorry, but I’ve gotta say that this flick sounds like dynamite! Plus, it’ll feature 11 original songs described as 70’s Glam Rock with a gothic edge. Rock on! There’s no official release date yet (other than some time in 2009), but you can bet your fangs I’ll be keeping my eyes open.
