‘Astrolatry’ to premiere at the Cannes Festival Film Market in May. It follows a chronic masturbator whose obsession with a beauty cream model propels him into violent delusions, culminating in an accidental castration. His severed penis becomes sentient, embarking on a psychosexual killing spree.

  1. Next r/movies thread about “it’s all sequels and reboots” is getting this fucking flung at them.

    That says something about how much genre filmmaking has grown in ambition and scale. A severed penis horror-satire getting industry buzz at Cannes would have been unthinkable 15 years ago, and now it’s just a Tuesday.

    “This happened to my buddy, Eric.” – some future Letterboxd review

    This sounds like exactly the kind of film I am utterly disinterested in seeing!

    i read this to my partner. her response: “don’t we have enough dicks in the media? i’ve had enough of sentient penises this year. i don’t want to watch that.”

  6. The next film will be the giant penis from Beau Is Afraid going against this murderous penis.

    I will write a letter to AMC asking/demanding that this movie comes to all their theaters. Nicole Kidman would want this playing in theaters.

    I was not expecting that last sentence, sounds absurd and completely insane, I’m in

    Yet ANOTHER reboot?

    That’s just a modern retelling of Shakespeare’s ‘Love’s Labour’s Lost’, why can’t Hollywood do anything different!?!

    Maybe the film industry collapsing isn’t the worst thing that could happen.

    And to think people believe modern filmmakers are out of touch with what audiences want to see.

  12. That is a string of words I never even considered going together in that order. The amount of drugs that must have been involved in the creation of the script must have been truly legendary.
