TROMA GIVES A SNEAK PEEK AT "PARTS OF THE FAMILY" AT CANNES 2000 FILM FESTIVAL

FIRST LOOK AT TROMA'S INTERNATIONAL CO-PRODUCTION AT TROMA'S ROMANTIC LOVE CHAPEL.


(Cannes) May 12, 2000 - The Troma Team is proud to present the world premiere of the trailer for Parts of the Family, an ambitious Belgian-American co-production that combines the tension of Dog Day Afternoon with the terror of Dawn of the Dead. The trailer will be shown immediately before a private screening of Troma's Unspeakable, directed by Chad Ferrin, this evening at 6:00 PM. This will be the first in a series of three very special, invitation-only, love-fest cocktail parties hosted by Troma in their glamorous Love Chapel, located in suites #264 and 265 of the Carlton Hotel.

Parts of the Family tells the story of a botched bank robbery that spirals into a horrifying hostage situation unlike any other. Because this hostage isn't alone. She has a family with blood ties that are stronger than death and a house with a history and terror waiting inside. And this bank robber is about to find out that death is not the end, but only the bloody beginning. Parts of the Family is directed by Leon Paul de Bruyn and produced by James Desert (Troma's Rabid Grannies). The film stars Cecilia Bergqvist and Bob Dougherty, with a special appearance by Troma president Lloyd Kaufman as hostage negotiator Carl Ressler.

Parts of the Family will precede a private screening of Unspeakable, the heart-warming and visually gore-ifying tale of a man emotionally demolished by the death of his only daughter. Chad Ferrin, the director of Unspeakable, will be in attendance at this screening. Together, Parts of the Family and Unspeakable create a double feature which will have hearts (and stomachs) aflutter for days.

Admittance to this private screening is on a first-come, first-serve basis. Those in attendance will also receive the highly sought-after Troma Love Pack, containing either a collectible limited edition Cannes Film Festival variant of Troma's brand-new comic book The New Adventures of the Toxic Avenger or "Hard-On For Tromaville", a 3-CD compilation of independent rock and punk bands from around the world created by AMP Records and Tromaville.com.
