A poster, some official stills and synopsis have arrived for Terry Gilliam’s energy drink advertainment/filmette, “The Legend Of Hallowdega,” produced by AMP Energy Juice and @radical.media. That might be the strangest sentence we write all day.
Production on the short began under the radar last month, with scattered details here and there, but we can now confirm that the horror comedy will star David Arquette and Justin Kirk as well as race car drivers Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Darrell Waltrip. Peering at the poster, it’s revealed that the excellent Wolf Parade song “It’s A Curse” will be featured in the spot. Gilliam clearly loves the indie rock, directing the Arcade Fire webcast last month turning Johnny Depp on to Wolf Parade side project, Sunset Rubdown.
The spot will air on Halloween with the first chapter being shown on ESPN prior to the start of the AMP Energy Juice 500 at Talladega Superspeedway (naturally). The full movie will be available over at the official website.
Read the official synopsis after the jump along with the teaser, stills and a listen to “It’s A Curse.” [Collider]
The comedy, THE LEGEND OF HALLOWDEGA, explores the mysteries around Talladega Superspeedway as the host of an investigative news show (Justin Kirk) joins forces with a techno-geek paranormal expert (David Arquette) to dodge close-calls and chase crazy leads to get to the bottom of THE LEGEND OF HALLOWDEGA.
