Quentin Dupieux made a name for himself back in 2010 with the release of Rubber, the comedy(-horror) film that featured a tyre as its protagonist. His latest film, Wrong, debuted at Sundance last year to positive early reviews, suggesting we’re in for a made and brilliant follow-up feature.
And the baffling first teaser trailer we saw just before its world debut suggested just as much.
After spending much of 2012 on the festival circuit, the film will be released through VoD in just a few weeks’ time in the States, and will be hitting theatres across the Atlantic this spring, and now a new poster has been released, which will almost certainly be one of the most curious we see this year.
“Dolph Springer (Reno 911’s Jack Plotnick) awakens one morning to find he has lost the sole love of his life – his dog, Paul. Desperate to reunite with his best friend and to set things right, Dolph embarks on a journey which spirals into the realm of the absurd. On his quest, he drastically alters the lives of several severely bizarro characters, including a promiscuous pizza delivery girl (Entourage’s Alexis Dziena), a mentally unstable, jogging-addicted neighbor, an opportunistic French-Mexican gardener, an eccentric pet detective (Steve Little of HBO’s Eastbound And Down) and most mysterious of all, an enigmatic pony-tailed guru, Master Chang (William Fichtner) who imparts his teachings to Dolph on how to metaphysically reconnect with his pet.”
Jack Plotnick, Éric Judor, Alexis Dziena, William Fichtner, Steve Little, and Mark Burnham lead the cast, with Dupieux once more directing from his own script.
Wrong will be released in US theatres this spring, with its VoD release coming first on 1st February. No word yet on a UK release, but here’s to hoping we’ll be seeing it soon on our shores, too. For now, here’s the latest poster, which you can click through to enlarge.
