If you thought the Turbo Kid project was a dead break for Roadkill Superstar (RKSS) because there hasn’t been much news about it, then you are dead wrong and you must have missed the memo on Thursday.
RKSS and the entire team involved with the feature film project, including Hobo with a Shotgun director Jason Eisener announced that Turbo Kid has been approved for financing, and production will finally start early next year. Telefilm Canada with the New Zealand Film Commission will help fund Turbo Kid with filming scheduled for late February 2014.
In addition, the team also announced that casting has begun in Canada and New Zealand. So expect names to drop like flies in the upcoming months. We’ll make sure to keep our readers in loop when more details become available.
Who should play the title character? John Francis Daley? Jesse Eisenberg? Leave your say in the comments section below.
