Are you ready for a sex-induced sci-fi college comedy? I thought so. Gregg Araki has delivered just that with Kaboom. The film premiered at Cannes last year, and then went on a lengthy festival circuit. It will now see a release in limited theaters and video on demand this month via IFC Films. The film stars Thomas Dekker, Juno Temple, Haley Bennett, Chris Zylka, and Roxane Mesquida. We shared the poster a few days ago, and now you can see the trailer below via Apple.
Synopsis: Indie veteran Gregg Araki returns to the spotlight with KABOOM, a hyper-stylized Twin Peaks for the Coachella Generation, featuring a gorgeous, super-hot young cast. The film is a wild, sex-drenched, comical thriller that tells the story of Smith, an ambisexual 18-year-old college freshman who stumbles upon a monstrous conspiracy in a seemingly idyllic Southern California seaside town. KABOOM will make its US premiere at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and is writer/director Araki’s eighth film there since his breakthrough The Living End, including The Doom Generation to his masterpiece Mysterious Skin. The film stars Thomas Dekker, Juno Temple, Haley Bennett, Chris Zylka, Roxane Mesquida, Andy Fischer-Price, James Duval and Kelly Lynch.
Kaboom is released on January 28th, 2011.
