Turbo Kid (New Zealand-Canada) is a crazy film, a contamination of multiple genres and, precisely a post-apocalyptic comedy that flows into action and splatter. In charge of this colorful project from whose trailer it looks quite promising, is a trio of directors, namely François Simard, Anouk Whissell and Yoann-Karl Whissell, who also handled the film's screenplay and are included in the cast as actors playing the father, mother and guard, respectively.
Turbo Kid is currently on the festival circuit. The U.S. theatrical release date is set for August 28, 2015, thanks to Epic Pictures Group.
In a post-apocalyptic future parallel to the year 1997, an orphan boy (Munro Chambers) named The Kid reaches Wasteland to search for relics of a better world now lost. During one of his expeditions he meets Apple (Laurence LeBoeuf), with whom he becomes deeply attached. When the evil Zeus (Michael Ironside), lord of Wasteland and master of the water, kidnaps the girl, The Kid must ally himself with Frederic (Aaron Jeffery), leader of a dangerous
clan in order to save her friend and to confront Zeus, taking revenge for a past wrong.
The film boasts Michael Ironside (Starship Troopers, Scanners) in the cast. He is joined by Munro Chambers (Cracked), Laurence Leboeuf, Aaron Jeffery (X-Men Origins), Edwin Wright (Top of the Lake), Romano Orzari, François Simard, Anouk Whissell and Yoann-Karl Whissell.
