“Our reimagining of Street Trash takes place in Cape Town, South Africa where the growing divide between rich and poor has changed the world as we know it,” Kruger previews. “I was a huge fan of the original Street Trash when I was a kid, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to introduce a whole new generation to the melted gonzo goodness that made the original such a classic.”
Shot entirely on 35mm, the film is produced by Justin Martell and Matt Manjourides of US-based studio Not the Funeral Home (“The Last Drive-In With Joe Bob Briggs”), with original Street Trash producer Roy Frumkes and director Jim Muro, along with Bad Dragon and genre film restoration outfit Vinegar Syndrome (New York Ninja), all serving as Executive Producers. Chris McGurk, Brandon Hill, Brad Miska, and Yolanda Macias Executive Produce for Cineverse.
The 1987 cult classic Street Trash was a darkly comedic and gritty horror film that has earned a dedicated following over the years due to its distinct style and unapologetically bizarre approach to storytelling. Directed by J. Michael Muro, the movie was set in the decaying and squalid streets of Brooklyn, New York as it delves into the lives of various eccentric characters, each struggling to survive in their harsh and unforgiving environment.
“I’m excited to reinterpret the original story, update it to better reflect the times we live in and give it a new and original spin,” continues Kruger. “While our reimagining features new, exciting plot elements that give the film many bizarre twists and turns, the core of the film lies with our diverse and unique cast of characters. As a director, I am very character-centric and I can’t wait to see our strange and hilarious ensemble on screen together as they navigate the hostile streets of Cape Town. Our version of Street Trash will be raw, hilarious, packed with vibrant characters and multi-colored explosions of gooey greatness.”
