Archstone Entertainment purchased the film rights to the sci-fi comedy and will be shopping around for distributors at the EFM.
The zany conspiracy comedy Operation Taco Gary’s is set to launch at the European Film Market this year, according to Deadline. The film rights to the comedy has recently been acquired by Archstone Entertainment and the company will be taking it to the EFM to find international distributors. Operation Taco Gary’s made its debut at the Austin Film Festival and stars Simon Rex, known for Red Rocket and Scary Movie 3, and Brenda Song, who has appeared in The Social Network and will be starring alongside Kate Hudson in Running Point.
Per Deadline, “The story follows conspiracy theorist Danny (Rex) and his skeptical brother Luke (Milligan) as they set out on a cross-country road trip and uncover a global plot that leads them to unassuming fast food chain Taco Gary’s — only to discover it’s the secret base of operations for an alien race intent on taking over the planet. While Luke grapples with the realization that his brother was actually right about everything, Danny convinces him that only together can they save Earth from total annihilation and smug Hollywood celebrities.”
Operation Taco Gary’s is written and directed by Mikey K. Joining Rex and Song in the film’s cast is Dustin Milligan (Schitt’s Creek), Jason Biggs (American Pie franchise), Doug Jones (Nosferatu, The Shape of Water), Arturo Castro (Broad City, Narcos), and Tony Cavalero (Righteous Gemstones, The Conners).
Former Disney teen star Brenda Song will also be making an appearance in the upcoming Pamela Anderson drama, The Last Showgirl. Anderson is receiving a bevy of accolades for her performance and our own Alex Maidy liked it quite a bit, but believes it didn’t live up to the hype as he said in his review, “The Last Showgirl is a more restrained film than we have seen from Gia Coppola so far, allowing it to have a more raw and realistic feel that serves the subject matter well. Everyone in the cast is quite good, even if the film is underwhelming compared to the buzz being generated for Pamela Anderson. […] Still, I don’t think the overall movie is as strong a contender as some would have you believe. Definitely worth checking out for Jamie Lee Curtis’ standout performance and an impressive return to the screen for Pamela Anderson.”
