Indican Pictures has
targeted Aug. 21 for the DVD rollout of Scottish filmmaker Charles Henri
Belleville’s film adaptation of the Simon Lewis pulp thriller, “Go,” which was
retitled for the screen as Jet Trash.
The film worked the
European market with some festival showings to positive buzz and was picked up
by Indican Pictures for domestic distribution — both theatrical and home
entertainment. Jet Trash is currently
being exhibited in major metro markets (since Apr. 27) by Indican and arrives
with an ARR of 116 days.
Life is good in Goa,
India for Welsh slackers Lee (Robert Sheehan — Geostorm, The Road Within, Season
of the Witch, etc.) and Sol (Osy Ikhile — The Legend of Tarzan, Mission:
Impossible – Rogue Nation, Childhood’s End, etc.), who spend their time
on the beach getting high and partying.
But, as we learn through
a series of very revealing flashback sequences in and around a seedy London
dive known as the Aqua, the fun and partying in Goa is all a bit of a deception. The pair double-crossed a truly vicious
London-based thug — involved in sex trafficking — by the name of Marlowe (Craig
Parkinson) and have gone on the run.
Life is too short to
worry and the boys figure that they’ve found the perfect hideout … so it is hang
loose and nooooooo worries!
This all changes when
Lee’s former girlfriend, the absolutely gorgeous Vix (Sofia Boutella — Atomic
Blonde, Star Trek: Beyond, The Mummy), shows up and things take a turn
to the dark side. She too is on the run
from Marlowe and if she can find Lee and Sol, then he can to! Suddenly paradise is starting to look more
like a nice out-of-the-way place for a pair of slackers who won’t be missed, by
anyone, ever again.
As the tension builds,
the same parties and wave-splashed beaches take on an ominous tone as the trio
wait for the all-but-certain arrival of Marlowe and his merry band of killers.
In other home
entertainment release news from Indican Pictures, documentary filmmaker Steven
Ott’s award-winning American Native will be making its DVD debut on Aug. 28.
The Ramapough Mountain
Indians have been fighting a decades-long struggle to gain recognition from
U.S. Federal Government. It is an
interesting look at what is at stake when location, location, location comes
into the mix.
Everyone, it seems,
including rival tribes, the local whites and even member of the Ramapough
Mountain peoples (with their internal conflicts) have conspired against
them. The why of it becomes fairly
obvious, if perhaps purposely unspoken, by those who oppose the recognition of
the tribe. They are just 30 miles from
downtown Manhattan!
Imagine Indian gaming in
the shadow of Manhattan! Even their
friends seem none too keen on the idea … and if you have enemies opposed to
you, it can be a death struggle.
