‘Return to Tomorrow’ – The Ride Never Ends in ‘Escape from Tomorrow’ Sequel Premiering this April
Way back in 2013, writer/director Randy Moore made the incredibly bold move of shooting a horror film entitled Escape from Tomorrow entirely within Disney World and Disneyland…without the approval to do so. The result was a fever dream nightmare dunked in a house of the mouse atmosphere and the sounds of children screaming. It’s great. And today, the above image has been released for the sequel, Return to Tomorrow.
“After the loss of his father (Udo Keir, in his final role), a middle-aged dad spirals into a Lynchian crisis of masculinity while on family vacation in Miami. As his inadequacies and unspoken desires drift him further away from his wife, he uncovers a mysterious plot involving his father, the gas company, cocaine, prostitution, and . . . Walt?”
Reprising their roles from the first film are Roy Abramsohn, Elena Schuber and Annet Mahendru.
Return to Tomorrow is set to have its world premiere at the Florida Film Festival on April 11th.
The festival describes the film as, “an absurdist paranoid conspiracy thriller featuring the original cast in a completely new scenario.”
They go on to add, “Trading in its predecessor’s 2010’s micro-budget DSLR aesthetic for glorious 35mm film, Moore ratchets up both the budget and insanity, including an Eyes Wide Shut-style orgy with Disney princesses, a machine-gun massacre in a baby store, and impeccably recreated ‘50s-era Davy Crockett sequences with an R-rated edge. Return from Tomorrow uses nostalgia itself as weapon, transforming familiar Florida iconography into something both subversively hilarious and deeply unsettling.”
I’m sorry, an Eyes Wide Shut-style orgy with Disney princesses? This sounds absolutely insane. I would expect nothing less.
Keep an eye on Dread as we learn more about Return to Tomorrow and when else you may finally be able to witness this nutty horror film.
