The BACK
ALLEY FILM SERIES will screen it’s fourth film on October 20th at the
CAROLINA CINEMAS CROWNPOINT on 9630 Monroe Rd. at 7:30 PM
TUCKER
& DALE VS. EVIL, released by MAGNET, won the 2010 South by Southwest (SXSW)
Audience Choice Award and was an Official Selection at the 2010 Sundance Film
Festival. The film takes the typical “college
kids go into the woods and bad things happen” and completely turns the horror
sub-genre completely upside down.
The
story begins with two friends, Tucker (Alan Tudyk of Serenity, Knocked Up and
currently ABC’s Suburgatory) and Dale (Tylrer Labine of the CW drama Reaper and
the recent The Rise of the Plane of the Apes) as two best friends that have
pulled their money together to get a dilapidated mountain cottage and turn it
into their vacation home. After a group
of preppy college kids set up camp near the duo, they rescue one of the coeds
after the rest of her group is scared off by the antics of the two fun loving
hillbillies. The journey that follows is
a total misunderstanding and leads to an ever growing body count on screen, and
growing hysterics from the viewers.
The
screenplay of TUCKER & DALE was written by University of Southern
California Graduates Eli Craig and Morgan Jurgenson back in 2005 and spent some
time making the rounds of studio development executives in the LA area. While all that read the screenplay loved the
story, they didn’t know how to convince their employers to finance it. After a long period of waiting and an
abundance of meetings and pitches, Thomas Augsberger of Eden Rock Media and
Deepak Nayar of Kintop pictures, teamed up to help the fresh graduates turn
their screenplay into an actual budgeted production.
With
funds in place, the film took up on the west side of Calgary in the Province of
Alberta Canada in the summer of 2009.
With weather being a large challenge, the cast and crew survived the frequent
rain and thunderstorms to wrap shooting in just over a month.
BAFS
is also proud to announce that prior to the screening of TUCKER & DALE, the
Charlotte Film Community will screen the winning short film of their most
recent MADE IN CHARLOTTE film competition.
With the theme being “PHOBIAS”, BAFS and CFC are proud to have a great chance to showcase
some of Charlottes local talent. Co-Founder

with BAFS to screen their shorts every few months during the series Emmons
stated “BAFS is doing an amazing job of bringing quality films to the area and
we (CFC) are so excited to be included as a part of that.” More info about the Charlotte Film Community
