Star Vehicle Steps on the Gas

Following on from last year’s outrageous slasher homage Gutterballs (reviewed here), independent filmmaker Ryan Nicholson starts work tomorrow on his latest feature, Star Vehicle. Whereas his previous flicks involved bowling alley vengeance and Asian cannibal trades, his new story is based around a chauffeur to a scream queen who longs to be an artist in his own right, eventually leaving a copy of his first script in her trailer in the hope that it will arouse her interest. But when he later finds it discarded in the trash and is subsequently fired, he decides to make the movie anyway but on his own terms and using those that scorned him as his unwitting cast of victims.

With the still as-yet-unreleased Hanger promising to bring the director even more notoriety when it is expected to hit DVD at the end of the year, Star Vehicle could prove to be the auto-slasher flick that Death Proof promised to be but failed to deliver. Whilst little is known of the feature, such names as Debbie Rochon have been linked to the project.
