Apocalypse Kiss is shaping up to have quite the remarkable cast. Indie horror film stereotypes be damned! In addition to voice over star D.C. Douglas and horror host Karen “Stella” Scioli, famed horror director Lloyd Kaufman and Playboy model Tammy Jean have officially been cast in the film. I also hear Horror Society reporter Michael DeFellipo may make the smallest of appearances! Hm! You can find the whole cast and crew listed over at the Apocalypse Kiss IMDB page here. For now, check out the latest press release and more below.
Potent Media has announced two more additions to the line-up of Apocalypse Kiss. This winter Director Christian Jude Grillo will be sending well-known independent film mogul Lloyd Kaufman into space. Lloyd will be playing a very significant role in Apocalypse Kiss that will “shock and awe” (hint) its audience.
Christian Jude Grillo states: “Lloyd was the perfect selection to play this special role in the film. He has been a leader in the movie industry and he’s been sticking it up the ass of Hollywood for decades with his no holds barred style of films that have won over audiences world-wide. He makes movies his way and I admire that. He’s a perfect leader.”
Also joining the ranks to play a leading role is PLAYBOY model Tammy Jean. Tammy Jean has a look that demands attention.
Grillo states: “When Tammy came in for her audition I was floored. I felt like I was watching the character I wrote in the script jump right off the page. Tammy Jean has years of theater experience to back up her looks. She’s comfortable in her own skin, an actress would need this quality to play this role. It’s very demanding.”
Apocalypse Kiss is going to be the type of film that gets people excited about seeing movies again. In a sea of Hollywood disappointments and remakes, Grillo is striving to present films that have that dangerous artistic quality to them that has been missing.
“We’re going to pull out all the stops in this one. There is sex, violence, drug abuse and sin at every turn in Apocalypse Kiss. Accompanied with CGI matte paintings, special FX and unexplored ideas. This is the closest I’ve ever been to catching that white whale.” Grillo explains.
In Apocalypse Kiss, “Government security agent Jerry Hipple has been unsuccessfully tracking the city’s most infamous criminal The Red Harvest Killer. When two nomadic lovers, Katia and Gladys enter the city the death count rises and are being credited as Red Harvest killings. Obsessive compulsive Adrian, the actual Red Harvest Killer becomes furious that the sexy serial killing duo are grabbing media attention under his alias. Not only does Adrian attempt to reclaim his rightful reputation but he also decides to cleverly aid his detective counterpart through the case. All the while, killers and victims alike are unaware the world is about to reach an abrupt catastrophic ending.”
Apocalypse Kiss is written and directed by Christian Jude Grillo and will also star Carmella Hayslett, Aimee Cassada, Bonnie Loev, and Tom Detrick. Follow the film on Facebook here.
