Norwegian director Tommy Wirkola is a favorite here on Bloody Disgusting, making a name for himself with the Dead Snow zombie comedies and then going on to direct Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, The Trip, and the Christmas action thriller Violent Night. Up next from Wirkola is something a little different: the adult animated sex comedy Spermageddon.
Directed by Tommy Wirkola and Rasmus A. Sivertsen, Spermageddon is being released in theaters in Norway this weekend, and we’ve got the trailer featuring English subtitles.
Wirkola tells BD, “Really excited to finally set Spermageddon loose and see how audiences around the world take it in. It’s been an insane journey—now the real fun begins!”
Here’s the official synopsis: “Two narrative threads – one is an emerging love story between two awkward teens, Jens and Lisa, who are having sex for the first time and the other is an eventful quest of Simon the Semen and his friends to reach the golden goal, the Egg.”
The Norwegian voice cast for the film includes Askel Hennie, Nasrin Khusrawi, Bjorn Sundquist, Mathilde Storm, Christian Mikkelsen, and Christian Rubeck.
The Hollywood Reporter called the film an “outrageously raunchy animated feature,” one that seems “destined for cult status.” Watch the trailer below for a taste of the rated “R” madness.
THR’s review notes, “But Spermageddon is a weird movie — and one whose open-minded politics, whether about teen sex or the benefits of birth control, likely would never pass muster in the U.S. but seem right at home in Scandinavia. That said, the film feels entirely American with its slick 3D animation style and comic hijinks.”
Stay tuned for word on U.S. distribution for Spermageddon.
