DEADROCKSTAR
Currently In Pre-Production
A savage look at the fall of
the treacherous and malignant music industry and the rise of the Napster
MP3 culture through the eyes of a talented young guitar player and singer:
Luther Cody.
A period pace set in late 1999, this dark and comedic film
juxtaposes the innocence and sanctity of Luther's digitally-downloadable
music against the cynicism and manipulation of the major record company
that signs him. The movie suggests that through the years, one way or
another, artists have been murdered by their Record Companies to ensure
legendary status and thus future sales. Ghosts from the past (Jimi, Janis,
Buddy etc.) play with Luther's head in psychotic dream like omens as does
the spirit of his older brother Troy: a brilliant guitar player, who before
committing suicide, taught Luther all his chops.
The story follows Luther and
his band's rise from Internet stardom to rockstar mania, with the subsequent
pressures of the Music Industry and being on the road - where it all starts
to blow apart. Luther gets strung out, he misses his beautiful Wanda,
he's got a bizarre world wide web stalking fan on his ass, a record company
pitbull nipping at his heels and the spirits of deadrockstars seriously
fucking with his head. Can Luther escape the machine before becoming just
another tragic deadrockstar?
Attachments:Shawn Hatosy, Steve Buscemi,
Stephen Baldwin, Vincent Gallo, Seymore Cassels, Max Perlich and Angie Bowie. Kathy Henderson
and Dorrie Zuckerman are currently casting. Mark Boone Junior is set to
direct. Produced in association with the Mosaic Film Group.

When Lenny's luck runs out, his best friend, Ruben, hatches a plan for both of them to get out of town. But Lenny's not going anywhere. He's got two more rolls left in him; one for the money, and one for the love of a beautiful mystery woman.
