Twisted Twin Sisters Find a ‘Dead Hooker in a Trunk’

dead-hooker

Vancouver-based Twisted Twins Productions have released a new trailer for their quirky thrill-kill comedy Dead Hooker in a Trunk. Written and directed by studio heads Jen and Sylvia Soska, the film follows four friends on a ridiculously complicated quest to dispose of the body of the dead prostitute they find in their car.

The official synopsis reads:

Set in beautiful Vancouver, four friends head out on an everyday errand and end up in a fight for their lives when they discover the body of a dead hooker left in their trunk. Led by a sexy, impulsive Badass; her distant Geek twin sister; their Bible-thumping, Jesus-loving Goody Two-Shoes friend; and a chaotic, rock star Junkie pal, the group has to put aside their differences to dispose of the body before they’re next.

Thrown into their own personal purgatory, they face off against persistent police, a sleazy motel manager, chainsaw-wielding triads, and a brutal serial killer. All the while they are followed by a mysterious Cowboy Pimp who wants to claim the corpse for his own. Will they uncover the truth behind the body and be able to stand up to their demons?

Buckle up, and get ready for the ride of your life filled with gunfights, extreme violence, blood, guts, gore, and goats.

Like the Avellan sisters, Jen and Sylvia Soska are actual twins. How that fact makes this flick better I don’t know, yet it does.

They used to be triplets.

They used to be triplets.

No word yet on when or if this film will hit theaters.

Director Darren Lynn Bousman Promises 90 Murders in 90 Minutes!

Serial killers, though frightening by nature, are notorious slackers. Sure, their body counts can reach double digits, but that usually takes years. Why? Because, as any legendary FBI profiler John Douglas will tell you, serial killers have cooling periods.

But, imagine if there was an unusually ambitious killer who wasn’t satisfied committing three-to-four murders a year; a killer who wanted more than just a handful of thumbs and nipples as trophies. Now, that would be truly scary.

Well, director Darren Lynn Bousman is tackling that premise in his new slasher Ninety. Written by Scott Milam (Mother’s Day), Ninety follows a serial killer determined to slaughter 90 people in 90 minutes.

Explains Bousman:

It’s psychotic and it’s crazy. I wanted to do a movie that’s fun. 11-11-11 and Mother’s Day are not fun movies. Ninety is fun. It’s 90 kills in 90 minutes. Done. Sold. Buy my ticket. We’re talking unique kills, too; it’s not like I just put ninety people in a room and dropped a bomb.

When you’re going to kill ninety people in a movie, after a while it could become monotonous. You’ll feel like, “Okay, I’ve seen this. I’m done.” To combat that, we’re going out of our way to make our killer cool and badass, like Mickey and Mallory were in NBK.

You’ll see the movie and just want to be the killer. Obviously we don’t want anyone to ever emulate being a killer as obviously that’s wrong, but we made sure our guy is just very likable. There’s two times that you’ll even want to high-five him.

Bausman creds include the end-of-days frightener 11-11-11, the eagerly anticipated, but still-delayed Rebecca De Mornay vehicle Mother’s Day, the organ-harvesting cult classic Repo! The Genetic Opera and, of course, Saw 2,3,and 4.

Brittany Snow (Prom Night) is set to star in director Aimee Lagos’ car-jack frightener 96 Minutes. The 24-year-old actress will play one of two college coeds abducted by high school gang-bangers during an initiation rite.

The film goes into production on May 17 in Atlanta.

An interesting aside I recently discovered about Snow is that her attractive figure is a direct result of anorexia. The actress told People magazine in 2006:

I always had in my mind that being skinny was better, even as a little girl. But I was never chubby or overweight.

My parents knew that I was dieting. A misconception about anorexia is that you don’t eat. Not true. Maybe you eat just 500 calories a day. It would be easy for me to say, “Why didn’t my parents notice?” But I didn’t want them to. I made sure to eat half a sandwich around my parents. But then came the sadness and thinking I was a terrible person for eating the sandwich.

I’m an actress, and because of the way Hollywood is, I do have to watch what I eat. No one has told me I need to look a certain way, and that’s great. The eating disorder will always be a part of my life. Some days, I think I’d like to be a size 0, but realistically, I think, “Come on, Brit. You’re great.

Is it wrong that I find that hot? I guess I like girls the way I like cheese: Fat-free American singles.
