The Future of Cannibalism

"A group of young people, called Foragers, fight to survive against a band of vicious cannibals, known as Rovers, in a post-apocalyptic world which has been depleted of fossil fuels."

A little Mad Max, a little The Hills Have Eyes, and a little of what Roger Ebert likes to call a "Dead Teenager Movie" all spliced together - sounds good to me. The upcoming movie is Tooth and Nail from indie filmmaker Mark Young, who both wrote and directed it. It stars the potentially inebriated Michael Madsen, X-Men: The Last Stand's Vinnie Jones, Bully's Rachel Miner, Revenge of the Nerds' Robert Carradine, "Boy Meets World" co-star Rider Strong, and Dawn of the Dead's Michael Kelly.

The official site for Tooth and Nail just went online, although there's really not much of anything there besides a larger version of the promo art. In fact, the plot synopsis is courtesy of the film's production company by way of Twitch Film. Expect more on Tooth and Nail in the very near future, hopefully before an apocalypse comes along and turns us all into oil-deprived cannibals.
