You know what modern filmmaking has been missing? Giant bug movies. What have we really had since EIGHT LEGGED FREAKS? Squat, that's what. But thanks to writer-director Ron Carlson, we'll soon be beset once again by outsized insects in DEAD ANT.
Starring the ingenious combination of Sean Astin and Tom Arnold, joined by Danny Woodburn (TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES), Michael Horse (Twin Peaks' Deputy Hawk), Leisha Hailey (The L Word), and Cameron Richardson (ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS):
DEAD ANT tells of a down on their luck hair metal band that gets a chance for a comeback with an appearance at Coachella. However, the group gets sidelined in the desert and must fight for their lives against giant ants.
Astin will play the band’s roadie with Tom Arnold as the manager. Busey and Coiro also play band members.
DEAD ANT is currently shooting in Santa Clarita, California. More on this story as it expands!
