Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Don Coscarelli and Doug Jones showed up at Fantastic Fest today to premiere the trailer for their upcoming effort John Dies at the End as well as a few minutes of lead Chase Williamson in a car talking with Jones' Roger North, a mysterious stranger not from around these parts.
That footage, featuring a pain-inducing slug of some sort, is not online, unfortunately, but the trailer is and it's a good one. Coscarelli's last big cult indie hit was Bubba Ho-Tep and you can see a lot of that creativity and weirdness on display here.
So, see Paul Giamatti being awesome, Clancy Brown being a badass, Chase Williamson being funny, the teacher from Gremlins/Super 8 being odd and a bunch of really creepy dudes in masks and hope we get to see this one in a theater near us sometime in the foreseeable future!
