Rom-com sci-fi The Second Age of Aquarius, is released in the US this week and to celebrate, we have exclusive behind-the-scenes looks at the making of the film!
Ever wonder what it would be like to bring your favorite dead rock star back to life? Alberta certainly has in The Second Age of Aquarius. Since she was a kid, she’s dreamt of a world where ultimate Sixties rock icon Russell Aquarius was still alive and writing songs just for her. Now a successful computer programmer, she takes her fandom and wishful thinking a step further and makes a Russell Aquarius avatar. Her loneliness and a freak power outage give her more than she bargains for when sparks fly not just in her computer, but also in reality when Russell’s avatar comes to life! He’s everything she dreamed… at first. Turns out Russell Aquarius thinks he’s having the ultimate bad trip and he wants to bring Alberta along for the magic carpet ride!
In our first video looking behind the scenes of the movie, the cast – Christina Calph, Michael Ursu, Martin Olson, Keeshan Giles, and Brooke Lewis Bellas – talk about how they came on board to the rock and roll sci-fi comedy feature film…
