With a knife pointed directly at celebrity and celebrity culture, Martin Owen’s feature debut, L.A. Slasher, aims to be a cutting takedown of shallow image. The film, active on social media for some time, now has an official release plan.
Archstone has set a May 1st theatrical release for L.A. Slasher, which stars Dave Bautista, Danny Trejo, Mischa Barton, Eric Roberts, Drake Bell, Brooke Hogan, Tori Black and Marisa Lauren, with the of voice of Andy Dick as the ‘L.A. Slasher’. The film is described as “a biting, social satire about reality TV and the glorification of people who are famous for simply being famous, L.A. Slasher explores why it has become acceptable and even admirable for people to become influential and wealthy based on no merit or talent – purely through notoriety achieved through shameful behavior. Incensed by the tabloid culture which celebrates it, the L.A. Slasher publicly abducts a series of reality TV stars while the media and general public in turn begin to question if society is better off without them.”
