SPEC FEATURES
When her b-movie idol dies as a drug mule, an eccentric L.A. mortician steals his corpse and flees from gangsters across the Mojave desert.
BLCKLST READER REVIEW: “The zany, offbeat antics and improbable narrative underpinnings of films like BUBBA HO-TEP collide with the spirited good fun of RAISING ARIZONA or WEEKEND AT BERNIE’S, an oddball adventure riveting from its first page to its last. The potential for powerhouse performances in its leads offers the promise of a sizable crossover audience. It would likely be appealing to development executives at places like A24 and Annapurna Pictures.” BABY DRIVER meets TRUE ROMANCE
After a near death experience imbues Rasputin with mystic powers, he enmeshes himself in a Russian/Ukrainian gang war in Coney Island.
Boondock Saints meets Romeo + Juliet
BLCKLST READER REVIEW: “A fascinating, funny, and intense adventure with remarkable characters and deep themes. Rasputin is a charismatic, lusty, spiritual presence who dominates all his scenes. There are some absolutely outstanding lines of dialogue… Angelo provides humor and humanity, his memorializing of Rasputin is downright incredible and his words carry us through key moments of the action-packed, violent, impactful third act.”
