If you thought mankind had it bad in recent 'end of the world' efforts such as Contagion and Melancholia, then spare a thought for the inhabitants of Apocalypse, CA, who find themselves having to contend with a horde of unfortunate problems including a massive asteriod, sex-inducing drugs and a three-hundred foot giant! The feature debut of indie filmmaker Chad Peter (Roleplayed) and featuring impressive visual effects from artists Ryan Wieber (Ryan vs. Dorkman) and Teague Chrystie (The Pacific), Apocalypse, CA has just received a new trailer ahead of its release on DVD in North America next month - check it out here, along with the synopsis...
Mysterious radio personality and apparent part-time genie, 'Sassy Boots' (Elizabeth Sandy) takes it upon herself to grant John Parsons (Nick Mathis) a few wishes five days before the world is to be destroyed by an asteroid. Only problem is John's wishes aren't exactly calculated, or even planned - the end result of which is a situation far worse than before.
Accompanied by his brother Hank (Alexander Cardinale), Hank's friend Renee (Anne McDaniels) and John's childhood crush Jacklyn (Erin Bodine), John and friends take the high road to Palm Springs - otherwise known as the 'epicenter' where the asteroid will first strike Earth. With a 'bite the bullet' approach, John & friends learn a little more about life and each other, all leading up to a wild climax of booze, sex, fantasy, and guns-a-blazin' desert adventure.
Apocalypse, CA is released in the U.S. and Canada on December 13th and you can pre-order the DVD and find out more about the film at the official website.
