I love the smell of circuses in the morning! Well, actually, that probably isn’t a great smell but upcoming end-of-the-world clown comedy Apocalypse Clown looks like a lot of fun!
Watch the trailer here…
Filmed on location in Ireland, Apocalypse Clown tells the tale of a troupe of failed clowns and an ambitious reporter who embark on a chaotic adventure of self-discovery after a mysterious solar event plunges the world into anarchy.
Directed by BAFTA-nominated George Kane (Crashing, Disney’s Wedding Season), the movie was written by Shane O’Brien, James Walmsley and Demian Fox from the multi-award-winning, Irish comedy outfit Dead Cat Bounce.
It stars David Earl (Brian & Charles), Natalie Palamides (Nate — A One Man Show), Amy De Bhrún (The Bachelor Weekend), Fionn Foley (Dublin Oldschool), Tadhg Murphy (Brassic) and Ivan Kaye (Gunpowder Milkshake).
“As a fan, I miss the days of the out-there, joke-packed big-screen comedy and ‘Apocalypse Clown’ is ruthlessly devoted to making audiences laugh,” says director George Kane. “It’s blessed with a wonderful cast who fully committed to bringing these loveably twisted weirdos to life, and it demands to be seen with a crowd.
“It’s unhinged, unpredictable and if it’s not the greatest dystopian Irish clown comedy ever made, it’s definitely Top 5…”.
Apocalypse Clown will be released in cinemas across the UK and Ireland on 1st September. Find more news, reviews, exclusives and articles at SciFiNow.
