Keanu Reeves and Jim Carrey have been cast in Ana Lily Amirpour’s new dystopian film The Bad Batch. Reeves will play a character named “The Dream” while Carrey is on as “The Hermit”. According to Indiewire, the movie is being described as a “cannibal love story”.
“The Bad Batch” is actually a love story set in a community of cannibals. In 2014 Amirpour won a $10,000 grant from Rooftop Films to finish up the project which was then described “…a highly twisted, unusual, romantic, and innovative movie set in a future dystopia. In a desert wasteland in Texas, a muscled cannibal breaks one important rule: don’t play with your food. ‘The Bad Batch’ is a savage love story, like a psychedelic ‘Road Warrior,’ inspired by films like ‘El Topo’ and ‘Wild At Heart.’ Shot in bold saturated hues and stylings of the ’80s & ’90s, the film will also feature a wicked techno & western-laced soundtrack.’ ”
It’s also worth noting Jason Momoa will appear in the film as “Miami Man”. Character names aside, did they just call this movie “a psychedelic Road Warrior?”
I’m sold.
