SUPERSTARLET A.D. PREMIERES AT CANNES TODAY

Critically acclaimed worldwide festival favorite about an apocalypse that leaves only beautiful lesbians alive

Cannes, May 23rd- Today at Cannes, Troma Entertainment proudly presents Superstarlet A.D., the latest groundbreaking theatrical film from Underground Demigod John Michael McCarthy (JMM). A wild romp filled with erotic action and rock’n’roll, Superstarlet A.D. stands alongside Hedwig & the Angry Inch and Moulin Rouge with echoes of Vegas In Space. Critically acclaimed for the most inventive use of color & black & white since Living in Oblivion and Gods & Monsters, Superstarlet A.D. has been a official selection at such notable film festivals as Sitges, Chicago, & South By Southwest.  Superstarlet A.D. is fast becoming a Classic Cult Favorite!

Welcome to the end of the world! After the apocalypse, in the lost city of Femphis, all men have de-evolved into deadly Neanderthals, whereas womankind has gained a chromosome. Women are physically beautiful, but wear only vintage undergarments, as all other clothes have been destroyed in the disaster. All gay men are dead, and there are no gay cavemen, so it will take millions of years for the clothing industry to evolve. The women have no desire to construct geometric shapes, preferring to make the best of what has been left for them. Gifted with style and intuition, but cursed with gossip and hatred for other hair colors, women have banded into Beauty Cults!

Armed with machine guns, dumb platinum blond PHAYRAYS, ruthless brunette SATANAS and ill-tempered redheaded TEMPESTS battle each other among the ruins of Femphis, over a dissipating supply of lipstick and ammo. Except for one Beauty Cult who had to be different: SUPERSTARLET A.D!

Direct descendents from 1950s starlets, Superstarlet A.D. believes all hair color is created equal. Leader of Superstarlet A.D., Brunette Naomi, has one quest in life; to find her grandmother’s ancestral burlesque film. Naomi and her blonde lover Rachel search ancient movie theaters, bearing only the title “Funny Pages” to guide them. With the other Beauty Cults hot on their trail, can the forbidden love between Superstarlets Naomi and Rachel exist in a post-apocalypstick world?  Will Naomi ever find her true identity within the abandoned buildings of Memphis?  Will the girls be able to uphold the number one rule of Superstarlet A.D.; “Thou shall not kill another woman”?

A homage to pop culture, comic books, punk rock, and films like Faster Pussycat Kill Kill!, and Troma’s War, director JMM pays tribute to the past, present and future with hilarious dialogue, non stop chaos and modern day irony. Apocalypse Meow!
