Car and Body Parts Flying at You in ‘Drive Angry 3D’
I’m becoming quite a fan of the Patrick Lussier/Todd Farmer relationship. The more I think about what they achieved with My Bloody Valentine 3D, the more I think their next collaboration, Drive Angry 3D, is gonna be a blast beyond words. This morning a new interview with producer Michael De Luca was posted that goes into more details on what we’ll see in the Nicolas Cage starrer.
The story centers on a man (Cage) driven by rage who is chasing the people who killed his daughter and kidnapped her baby. The vendetta/rescue spins out of control as the chase gets bloodier by the mile, leaving bodies strewn along the highway.
“It’s hyper pulpy. It’s kind of like hyper-pulp, just kind of blood drenched, heavy, heavy car chase action that if you’re a fan of early Shane Black scripts,” De Luca tells Collider, referring to films like Lethal Weapon. “If you’re a fan of from the 70’s ‘Two Lane Blacktop’ or ‘Vanishing Point’ and you’re a fan of ‘Dust `Til Dawn’ or ‘Sin City’, this kind of like glorious exhiltation of pulp movie-making. It aspires to be in that cannon, so that’s my torch way of describing why I’m excited by it because I like all those things. And ‘Drive Angry’ to me had a blend of things I liked about ‘Two Lane Blacktop’ and ‘Duel’ and ‘Vanishing Point’ and things I loved about ‘Dust ’til Dawn’ and things I loved about ‘Sin City’. And where we’re not as opulent as some of those films, we’re trying to be of that spirit.”
In terms of violence, De Luca explains that it will be “a hard-R” and will feature “Car parts and body parts flying at you in 3-D.”
Summit Entertainment has slated the pic for release on February 11, 2011.
Less than two months after releasing in theaters, where it has scared up $188 million at the box office, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is headed home next week, we’ve learned.
First reported by Ghostbusters News, Frozen Empire comes to Digital Tuesday, May 7.
In Gil Kenan’s Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, the Spengler family returns to where it all started – the iconic New York City firehouse – to team up with the original Ghostbusters, who’ve developed a top-secret research lab to take busting ghosts to the next level.
But when the discovery of an ancient artifact unleashes an evil force, Ghostbusters new and old must join forces to protect their home and save the world from a second Ice Age.
The cast includes Patton Oswalt, Kumail Nanjiani, James Acaster, and Emily Alyn Lind, alongside Bill Murray, Finn Wolfhard, Ernie Hudson, Mckenna Grace, Paul Rudd, Celeste O’Connor, Logan Kim, Annie Potts, Dan Aykroyd and Carrie Coon.
Jason Reitman, who directed Ghostbusters: Afterlife, is back to produce Frozen Empire.
Meagan wrote in her review for Bloody Disgusting, “Frozen Empire offers familiar set pieces, references, and easter eggs aplenty, but the nostalgia tank is now running on empty.”
“That may be enough for some, especially when Frozen Empire pulls out some deep-cut nods. But by the time the mid-credit scene kicks in, solely designed to inspire merchandising sales, it’s more likely to leave you ready for the Ghostbusters to retire in peace,” she adds.
