The trailer for the sequel to cult film ‘SLC Punk’ appeared back in September, following an Indiegogo campaign that raised $91,573 for the project.
Now ‘Punk’s Dead: SLC Punk 2’ has an official release date. It will suitably premiere in Salt Lake City on the 11th February 2016, followed by a limited US cinema release. It will however be available to purchase online from the 16th of that month.
“Punk’s Dead, the sequel to 1999 cult hit SLC Punk, is a punk romp through the Utah hinterlands,” the Indiegogo campaign page revealed. “Ross, Penny and Crash, young… outsiders from different tribes, embark on a road trip to a huge punk show. Ross, 19, is the love child of Trish and Heroin Bob, who died before Ross was born.”
“During their odyssey, and with the help of a healthy dose of drugs, alcohol and punk music, Ross shreds his darkly Gothic outlook and embraces life. His mother Trish, who raised Ross alone in her steam punk shop, discovers that he is in a crisis. She recruits his ‘uncles,’ Bob’s old SLC gang, to help find him. When all collide at the concert, they are forced to deal with their unresolved relationships with Bob.”
The movie features original cast members Devon Sawa, Michael Goorjian, Adam Pascal and James Duval, however does not include Matthew Lillard who played lead character Stevo.
