It was originally slated
for early January, but the box office success from the film’s limited
theatrical run (late December of last year) gave Indican Pictures a little
extra time to promote writer/director Norman Gregory McGuire surreal “road
trip” story, The Lucky Man. It will
now be available on Apr. 10 (the ARR will be 109 days).
Jesse James (As
Good as it Gets, The Butterfly Effect, The Amityville Horror, etc.) stars
as a con artist preacher named Reverend Johnny Jones, who discovers that he
actually does have the “power.” His
scam is to move from small town to small town with his tag-along girlfriend,
Rebecca (Mariana Paola Vicente — Self/Less, Nocturna), preaching to
the locals — he’s actually pretty good at it — to get enough money for the next
motel, the next round of drugs and enough booze to make him forget what a
lowlife grifter he is.
When a pair of young
thugs decide one evening that he’s an easy mark things happen … unexpected things,
that is, as Johnny is able to revive one of his attackers from the dead (the
results of a stray bullet). Rebecca
listens to his tale, but thinks it’s the drugs or booze talking.
But when it happens
again, this time he causes harm to an old man by accident and then makes it
right. She’s now a believer! This
power to heal … it proves to be both a blessing and a curse as events unfold
and the sins of the past have a strange and ironic way of overtaking this newfound
“healer” and his faithful companion.
