No news on a release date for “Kaboom” or a hint of a trailer, but there are two new production stills where you can see Roxane in the movie! She looks lovely. Check them out!
Even though director Gregg Araki is a regular of the Sundance Film Festival, and even though it made a couple Sundance prediction lists, “Kaboom” is sadly not part of the 2010 festival line-up. Both lists of films in competition and films screening out-of-competition have been released.
First of all, Roxane’s character in “Kaboom” finally has a name! It’s Lorelei. Secondly, here’s our second glimpse at Roxane in character! Thank you to her Facebook Fan Page for the image. I’m hoping for at least a teaser trailer in the next couple months, particularly if the film does manage to sneak into Sundance.
Roxane has already started and wrapped filming for a new project! The film is called “Rubber”, directed by Quentin Dupieux, AKA French electro house act Mr. Oizo. No word on a full synopsis, but what I’ve gathered from a bit of digging is that Roxane is the co-lead alongside Stephen Spinella, and the plot is a comedy-horror centered around a vengeful living tire (yes, the type that goes on cars!). It shot in California and has now entered post-production, during which the enormously popular band Justice will be helping compose the soundtrack. More news as it comes! If you want it faster, keep an eye on Oizo’s Twitter page. Release is scheduled for some time in 2010.
As a follow up to our first glimpse of Roxane in “Kaboom”, here is the film’s official synopsis. Roxane’s character is still unnamed, so I’m unsure what kind of role she has, but hopefully we’ll find out soon!
A hyper-stylized TWIN PEAKS for the Coachella Generation, featuring a gorgeous, super hot young cast, KABOOM is a wild and sex-drenched horror-comedy thriller that tells the story of Smith, an ambisexual 18-year-old college freshman who stumbles upon a monstrous conspiracy in a seemingly idyllic Southern California seaside town…
Smith’s everyday life in the dorms – hanging out with his arty, sarcastic best friend Stella, hooking up with a beautiful free spirit named London, lusting for his gorgeous but dim surfer roommate Thor – all gets turned upside-down after one fateful, terrifying night. Tripping on some hallucinogenic cookies he ate at a party, Smith is convinced he’s witnessed the gruesome murder of an enigmatic Red Haired Girl who has been haunting his dreams.
Also, as a heads up to visitors, comments on the site weren’t working before, but I fixed that now!
Hi, everyone! I was holding off on posting this in case I could find a better quality version, but unfortunately none have popped up. Still, here’s our first glimpse at Roxane in Gregg Araki’s “Kaboom!”, in which she plays a still unnamed-character. The film is slated for a 2010 release and rumored to be possibly be making it to the Sundance Film Festival.
How’s that for timing? All of an hour after site launch, it’s hit Reuters that Roxane has been cast in a new project, Gregg Araki’s “Kaboom.” This will be Roxane’s first American film, and she’s been busy perfecting her English the past few years in hopes of one day doing an English language film — this is excellent news for her, I’m sure!
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – indie director Gregg Araki is detonating his next picture, “Kaboom,” which follows the sexual awakening of a group of college students.
French actress Roxane Mesquida (”Fat Girl”), Thomas Dekker (”Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles”), Kelly Lynch (”The L Word”) and Rooney Mara (”Youth in Revolt”) star in the film, which is currently shooting.
Araki’s credits include “The Doom Generation,” “Smiley Face,” “Mysterious Skin” and “The Living End.”
Also, a belated happy birthday to Roxane! She turned 28 on the 1st.
