Press Release: HIGH THERE movie sequel to begin filming in Las Vegas
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Producers announce shooting plans
for Area 420 at Las Vegas Hempfest
LAS VEGAS (October 6) The team behind the hit
independent gonzo comedy film High There was in Las Vegas this weekend,
appearing with Tommy Chong and Afroman at the second annual Las Vegas Hempfest
-- and announcing the start of principal photography on the sequel, Area 420.
The announcement was made by
executive producer Sam Peters during an impromptu news conference at the Las
Vegas Convention Center, where the fest took place on Saturday. "High
There was a film that took a pair of baffled and bickering journalists to
Hawaii, where they uncovered a government plot to control the marijuana
trade," Peters said. "Now, in Area 420, the pair will head to
Las Vegas, only to expose a government plot that is literally out of this
world. We promise sex, inebriation, real-life situations, newsmaking
revelations -- and lots of laughs!"
Peters said filming on Area 420
will begin in late November on and around the Las Vegas Strip, as well as other
cities and locations that remain under wraps. Directors Wayne Darwen and Henry
Goren are reprising their roles as gonzo tabloid producer Dave High and his
teetoaling cameraman, Roland Jointz.
The producers are now enlisting
celebrity cameos for the upcoming comedy, which may explain the deep
conversations Saturday between Darwen and fellow Hempfest stars Chong and
Afroman.
"We're shooting in
Vegas, so we want to get some of our friends and favorites on board,
including Carrot Top, Penn, Mac King, Art Vargas, Cook E. Jarr and Jerry
Tiffe," added producer Burt Kearns, who was seen losing big in the Caesars
Palace casino early Sunday morning. "And of course, Wayne wants to
include the wonderful women from the Hustler Club (site of the Hempfest
after-party)."
Darwen is a veteran tabloid
journalist, a founder of tabloid television and model for Robert Downey Jr.'s
character in Natural Born Killers. Goren is an award-winning news
camerman and cinematographer. Kearns, who is co-scripting the new
nonfiction movie, is a longtime television and film writer and producer whose
credits include the Burt Reynolds comedy classic, Cloud 9.
High There has been very
well-received by critics ("A perfect film"-- ABucket OfCorn.com) and
is becoming a cult favorite on BRINKvision's limited edition DVD and Video on
Demand.
Added Peters: "Area 420
is going to be High There on steroids. Or I suppose I should say, 'High
There on some super strain of weed'! It will be everything folks love
about High There, only bigger and funnier. And Vegasier."
Area 420 is a Sam Peters
International Productions Unlimited presentation of a Good Story Productions
and Rat Lung Pictures production.
