noreply@blogger.com (Sari Gagnon) — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 20:41:00 +0000

A creature feature starring Jeremy London, Roddy "Rowdy" Piper, Sari Gagnon, Ashley Bates ...and more.

"The owner of a small-town junkyard offers a cash reward to whomever can kill her uninvited, space-suited alien guest when its spacecraft crash-lands into her barn. Every wacko within 100 miles turns out, and before long, the junkyard is transformed into a war zone of man vs. man vs. machine vs. alien vs. God only knows what."

*There is ONLY 200 SEATS available and it will sell-out VERY FAST...so...if you want friends and family to attend get tell them to act fast!!

Saturday October 9: After countless hours of post-production, the UFO (Unidentified Fighting Object) of Opponent is ready for its action-packed film début.

When a cash bounty is put out on a shipwrecked alien, every wacko within 100 miles turns up to a small-town junkyard, armed to the teeth and itching to take a swing at the creature. What results is a mind blowing, out of control free-for-all of man vs. man vs. machine vs. alien vs. God only knows what else.

Having previously helmed Synthetic Cinema's Banshee!!!, Opponent marks the second feature film directed by New Haven, CT's Colin Theys, working from a script by Waterbury, CT native John Doolan, who's previous works include Banshee!!! , as well as Assault of the Sasquatch.

Opponent boasts a cast lead of Jeremy London, star of television's Party of Five and 7th Heaven, as well as the cult smash Mallrats and the upcoming season of VH1's hit Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, and WWE superstar "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, known for his dominating performance in John Carpenter's science fiction classic They Live, taking another stab at alien ass-kicking. The film also features a commanding yet tantalizing performance by newcomer Adrienne LaValley as Linnea Gold, a modern day femme fatale with a biting edge.

Screening at the Connecticut Science Center on Saturday, October 9th at 8pm, tickets will be sold online or at the door for $8.00. Limited to 200 seats, advanced ticket purchases are encouraged to ensure entrance and are now available at www.silkcityflickfest.

"Boston is the city where the superhero team Mission Park comes to life in a vivid comic book world. Despite the team's strained relations, a threat is festering in their home town, and with stakes at an all-time high, team Mission Park will unite for a single night to crush an evil plot initiated by the villainous Executive (Michael Tarara). Tessa Faux (Sam Pannier) leads the team as the seductive socialite vigilante. Apple Orchard (Lauren Guglielmello) is the prim and proper sidekick who doesn't swear, doesn't lie but does lug around an assault rifle to blow away criminals. Chris Ember (Chip Perro) is the fiery anarchist with a vast array of powers that are actually symptoms of a virus that's killing him. Timothy Note (Casey Preston) is only in the game for the glory, and Victor Strength (Christopher G. Pike) is the world's strongest man. The saga opens up as Chris Ember is recruited by the Boston Police Department to diffuse a time bomb situation, that if not controlled, will alter the fate of the entire world. Mission Park is a comic book extravaganza from creator Chip Perro."

Many different theories are examined, including the removal of unpleasant people, economics, fear of war, and dangerous personalities." Written by Andy Blood
