In 2012, Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw II, Repo! The Genetic Opera) sent viewers on a trip straight into Hell with The Devil’s Carnival, a macabre musical that featured Sean Patrick Flannery, Emilie Autumn, Paul Sorvino, and Bill Moseley. Now, in 2015, he plans on strapping you in and sending your ass straight into…Heaven?
That’s right, the trailer for The Devil’s Carnival: Alleluia has hit the web and looks just as insane, flashy, and catchy as the first! The film tells the tale of Lucifer and his intent to wage war on Heaven. Little does he know that God and the angels are aware of this plan and are ready to raise a little hell themselves.
Currently being shopped at AFM, the film will once again stars Paul Sorvino and this time includes Ted Neeley (Jesus Christ Superstar), Adam Pascal (Rent), and David Hasselhoff. Don’t ask me about that last one.
Bousman states:
Securing financing, getting distribution, getting anything off the ground these days is a damn miracle. The Carnival is our answer to that. We found a way to circumvent the catch-22 by making this more than just a movie. The Devil’s Carnival is an experience that demands more of you than sitting there and just being passive.
