This one is full of geek credentials – Felicia Day, Jason Mewes, Doug Jones and Robert Picardo all on an Ender’s Game type riff. Instead of kids you get geeks and replace aliens with asteroids.
Scheduled for North American theatrical release in 2012, RockJocks stars some of the most popular names in the American pop culture scene,including Felicia Day (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Eureka, The Guild webseries), Jason Mewes (Clerks, Jay and Silent Bob), Justin Chon (Twilight series), Doug Jones (Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth) and Robert Picardo (Star TrekVoyager, Stargate SG-1).
A secret band of overworked government employees spend their night shift fighting off boredom and a meddling bureaucrat hell-bent on shutting them down, while defending the world from an onslaught of asteroids.
Rock Jocks is an honest, edgy and quirky comedy that offers an unorthodox glimpse into the universal truths that arise out of the basic human condition.
In Paul Seetachitt’s indie sci-fi comedy, Day plays the second-in-command leader of a band of overworked government employees with exceptional asteroid-killing satellite piloting skills. Andrew Bowen (madtv, Reno 911!) is the Captain of the band of misfits who also include Chon, Kevin Wu and Gerry Bednob (40-Year OldVirgin). Mewes and Picardo guard the top secret Asteroid Management Initiative facility, along with the ever-present alien played by Jones. Mark Woolley plays the snooping government bureaucrat, while newcomer Wu (YouTube’s superstar“KevJumba”) makes his feature film debut as one of the Rock Jocks talented pilots.
Sheri Bryant and Craig Lew are producing Seetachitt’s feature film debut throughIntelligent Life Media in association with Dog & Rooster Productions and BrightPenny Productions. John Byrnes and Greg Aronowitz Executive Produce. RockJocks is currently shooting in Los Angeles.
