Darren Lynn Bousman has wrapped THE DEVIL’S CARNIVAL: ALLELUIA, a sequel to his cult horror musical THE DEVIL’S CARNIVAL, and we now have a trailer for you guys to take a quick look at. While its predecessor only clocked in at 55-minutes, the sequel is a feature length film that reunites original writers and composers Terrance Zdunich and Saar Hendelman. The film is currently being shopped around at AFM by Execution Style Entertainment.
“Securing financing, getting distribution, getting anything off the ground these days is a damn miracle,” he said. “The Carnival is our answer to that. We found a way to circumvent the catch-22 by making this more than just a movie. The Devil’s Carnival is an experience that demands more of you than sitting there and just being passive.”
“With episode one, we proved there was a market for our anti-Glee content and punk rock business model,” said Zdunich, who also plays Lucifer. “The Devil's Carnival is now back by popular demand, and Alleluia is bigger and badder than the first one.”
The cast sees Jesus Christ Superstar actor Ted Neeley, Adam Pascal (Rent) and David Hasselhoff (yes, he sings in this one!) in the story of Lucifer exacting a revenge plot against Heaven, but God and his agents are ready for battle. Watch the trailer below!
