The newly released trailer for the wacky, weird action thriller Welcome to Redville finds a young couple on the run from the law and stumbling into a small, mysterious desert town full of strange townsfolk. Coming courtesy of Gravitas Ventures, and led by Jake Manley (Midway) and Highdee Kuan (You), Welcome to Redville sees the couple consider one final heist that soon jeopardizes their relationship and their lives, leading them to an extremely surreal desert town. Check out the trailer for Welcome to Redville below:
Welcome to Redville follows Leo and Toni, a young couple who flee from the police after a botched robbery and lie low in the secluded desert town of Redville. Soon, they have a run-in with the local sheriff, whose daughter entices Leo to steal her uncle’s million-dollar diamond. After they have strange encounters with Redville’s townsfolk, Leo convinces a reluctant Toni to help him steal the diamond. When the sheriff catches them fleeing with the diamond, Leo shoots him dead.
As they flee, they keep running again and again into the ghostly “Welcome to Redville” sign. Driving in endless circles, they end up back in Redville, where they are confronted by the townsfolk and the Sheriff who is very much alive…
Directed by Isaac H Eaton, who has written the script alongside Danny DeVoto (no, that’s not a typo), Welcome to Redville stars Jake Manley (The Order), Highdee Kuan (This is Us), Chris Elliott (There’s Something About Mary, Schitt’s Creek), Sabrina Haskett (Moxie), Chase Dean Baker (Good Girls), Dusty Sorg (Freeway Killer, Westworld), Warren Sweeney (The X-Files), and Phil Hendrie (Team America: World Police, Futurama). The cast also includes Mitch Field, Robert Craighead, Isaac C. Singleton Jr., Matt Cannon, Ashley Doris Wilson, Katelyn Eaton, Michael Lanahan, Joe Palubinsky, Steven M. Porter, Phire Whitaker, Dominic Hernandez and, Joeal Nicassio.
Whatever you think of the mysterious, bonkers new trailer, it’s great to see Chris Elliott again. Since Schitt’s Creek ended, the legendary comedian behind Get a Life and Cabin Boy has mostly done voiceover work (outside the small Hulu show Maggie). He’s back on the big screen in Welcome to Redville, and we can’t wait.
Welcome to Redville Will Be Draped in Deeper Meaning & Allegory
“I have always loved movies with multiple layers, hints of a deeper meaning and allegories beyond the main plot. It was my intention when I wrote and directed Welcome to Redville to craft a film following this vision. Leo, the protagonist thinks he has a ‘big plan’ but in the grand scheme of things, he’s just a ‘little man with a little plan’ running around in circles and burning things down,” filmmaker Isaac H. Eaton said of the movie in a statement.
“Gravitas is proud to be bringing Welcome to Redville into homes worldwide. Director Isaac H. Eaton turns the heist film genre on it’s head by introducing us to a town of unique characters played by a fantastic ensemble cast. We can’t wait for audiences to enter the strange world of Redville, and possibly never leave,” said Bill Guentzler, VP of Acquisitions at Gravitas Ventures.
Gravitas Ventures, an Anthem Sports & Entertainment Company, recently acquired the worldwide rights to Welcome to Redville, with the crime thriller produced by Frank Zanca and Isaac H Eaton and executive produced by Brad Kramer and Alice Abernathy.
Gravitas Ventures will release the crime thriller Welcome to Redville on video on demand on August 29, 2023.
