‘Eat Me’ Will Test Human Endurance (Exclusive)
Eat Me Films & Rumpus Room Productions begin lensing on Eat Me, the acclaimed playwright Jacqueline Wright’s cutting edge feature adaptation of her LA Weekly nominated play, in Los Angeles starting December 10, 2014, Bloody Disgusting exclusively learned.
Wright will star alongside Brad Carter (pictured in “True Detective, Ascension”), and Michael Samus Wiles (“Breaking Bad, Fight Club).
Eat Me will be directed by Adrian A. Cruz (co-creator, “Ascension”) and produced by Flo Speakman and Dena Hysell.
An insightful, darkly hilarious and terrifying exploration of the extremity of human endurance. TOMMY, a despondent woman with nothing to live for, attempts suicide on the same night BOB breaks into her house. Over the course of the night, they collide on a desperate and brutal journey, struggling to find a way out of the circumstances that brought them together.
“It’s an immense honor to be able to bring this harrowing and divisive story to the screen. It’s not the sort of script that you can put down. It haunts you, takes on you a journey that you can’t forget. Combined with the incredible talent of the cast, it’s an explosive combination,” director Adrian Cruz explains.
Eat Me was adapted from the notorious and acclaimed play of the same name. Sparking heated debates and polarizing reviews, Eat Me set the bar for balls to the wall theater and now promises to the move to the screen and with the same passion, wit and fearlessness.
Norway’s deepest fjord isn’t just unleashing a mythic monster in Kraken, but its monstrous deep sea parasites as well.
Watch our exclusive clip below, which introduces the skittering, skin-crawling aquatic menaces on the attack.
Samuel Goldwyn Films will release the Kraken in select theaters and on digital June 12.
Here’s the synopsis: “A marine biologist encounters several strange occurrences while researching a fjord, including the brutal deaths of two local teenagers. At the bottom of Norway’s deepest fjord rests a mythical monster as large as a mountain, with a myriad of arms ready to crush and devour anything they can grab.”
Pål Øie (The Tunnel) directs from a script by Vilde Eide, Kjersti Jelen Rasmussen, and Natasha Arthur.
Sara Khorami (Troll 2), Mikkel Bratt Silset, Øyvind Brandtzæg, Jenny Evensen, Ingvild Holthe Bygdnes, Jon Erik Myre, Hans Morten Hansen, Steinar Klouman Hallert, and Filip Bargee Ramberg star.
The behemoth beast from the deep is the latest kaiju-sized aquatic creature harboring a horde of bloodthirsty parasites, joining the likes of Cloverfield and Underwater. Naturally, the Kraken itself serves as the much bigger threat.
It’s also about time that the Kraken received its own feature; though Meg 2: The Trench featured a Kraken-like beast in its climax, the Kraken hasn’t been fully unleashed since Clash of the Titans.
Watch out for the Kraken in limited theaters and on VOD this Friday.
