quietearth [Celluloid 03.04.08] movie news horror comedy



Seemingly based off the play by Tom Stoppard in which our two main characters, which are only a blip in Shakespeare's Hamlet, come forward for a "absurd, existentialist tragicomedy" (per wikipedia). The writer and director Jordan Galland just threw in some vampires, a 2000 year old conspiracy, a ladies man, and made a hopefully drinkable shake. Check the synopsis and trailer following.

"Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Undead is a comedy that explains the connection between Hamlet, the Holy Grail, and some very sexy vampires. Julian Marsh is an out of work and unsuspecting ladies man who still lives in the apartment above his Dad's medical office. Frustrated by his son's lack of a career, the good doctor cuts a deal with one of his creepy patients and gets Julian a job directing an off-Broadway play. The play is a bizarre adaptation of Hamlet written by a pale Romanian man named Horatio who is actually a master vampire. Julian recruits some New York actor buddies and a longtime ex-girlfriend to star in the show and they find themselves smack dab in the middle of a two thousand year old conspiracy. Forget about the garlic and the holy water only the Holy Grail itself can save them now if only being undead wasn't so much fun!"
