We've been patiently awaiting a release date and proper trailer for Lee Demarbre's Smash Cut, a tribute to the films of Herschel Gordon Lewis, for about a year now and while director Demarbre has actually had time to shoot a complete other feature while this one has been in post, we're now finally seeing some activity in the form of new stills.
Smash Cut is the dizzying portrayal of ABLE WHITMAN, a trouble filmmaker losing his mind in an extraordinary way.After his latest “serious” film is met with gales of laughter, Able decides to drown his sorrows at a local strip club--where he meets dancer GIGI SPOT. Minutes later, he’s convinced the honey dripping sex-pot to star in his next project. Minutes after that, he’s killed her in a drunk driving accident. Needing to dispose of the body, Able stumbles upon the one place nobody would notice a corpse…spread around the set of his new horror film. When the response to this new footage is praised for its realism, the guilt ridden Able has a complete mental breakdown. Believing he has finally discovered the key to making a great horror film, the director quickly discovers that one human body doesn’t yield a lot of parts, and if he wants to finish, he’s going to have to keep on killing.
Meanwhile, Gigi’s sister APRIL hires the city’s most celebrated private detective, ISAAC BEAUMONDE, to investigate Gigi’s disappearance. But when the simple missing person investigation turns into a string of stomach turning murders, Isaac realizes he’s found the case of a lifetime.
With Beaumonde hot on his heels, his sanity unspooling and his collaborators dropping like flies, will Able have the time, focus and resources to complete his magnum opus, or will he simply fade to black?
Horror icons David Hess and Michael Berryman both star, but it's porn queen turned legit actress - so legit that she's the lead in the next Soderbergh film - Sasha Grey who's been drawing all the attention. But while Grey's shots in these new images definitely deserve some notice, it's one featuring Jennilee Murray as Gigi that really steals the show. Hit the link below to check them out!
I'm imagining this is a tribute to Abel Ferrara seeing as how the director in the movie is similarly named and it plot is pretty similar to Ferrara's Special Effects?
"so legit that she’s the lead in the next Soderbergh film"
in which she plays...a hooker...
Hey, whatever the character is, Grey's got the leading role in the new film from an Oscar winning director, and name another porn queen that can say that. There are literally scores of 'legit' actresses that would have loved to play this part and Grey beat 'em out so I think I'm pretty safe in saying that she's arrived.
I'm going to be very sad if Sasha goes "mainstream" and quits porn, then we won't be able to hear her scream how much she loves big dicks in her asshole :)
