Pontypool director Bruce McDonald makes his return with Dreamland, which had its North American premiere at last summer’s Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal.
Dreamland takes place on the night of the strangest wedding in cinema history where a grotesque gang boss hires a stone-cold killer to bring him the finger of a fading, drug-addicted jazz legend.
It stars Juliette Lewis (Natural Born Killers), Henry Rollins (Feast, He Never Died), and even Stephen McHattie (Pontypool, Come to Daddy)!
On the heels of the trailer release (below), Bloody Disgusting just learned that you can attend this vampire wedding on VOD platforms June 5, 2020, thanks to Uncork’d Entertainment and Dark Star Pictures.
Fantasia previously shared this lengthy breakdown:
“On the orders of his boss, the low-level gangster Hercules (Rollins), hitman Johnny (McHattie) must cut off the pinkie finger of celebrated jazz trumpeter The Maestro (McHattie, again) just before an important, high-profile gig. Seems simple enough, but the gig is a wedding at the fortified palace of crime queen The Countess (Lewis) and Johnny isn’t quite feeling it. Hercules is moving up from standard gangster stuff to human trafficking and the reason for the pinky request is more of a slight than anything else. Like all movie hitmen, Johnny is thinking of getting out of the game and this job has convinced him it’s time to retire. Throw in The Countess’ vampire brother (Tómas Lemarquis), his child bride and the wedding from hell, you’ll think you’ve imagined it all, but no, it’s just a visit to Dreamland.”
