A trailer for “Let’s Start A Cult” has been released.
CM Punk makes a cameo appearance in the film, which is set to be released on October 25. It features Stavros Halkias (Netflix’s Fat Rascal), Wes Haney (Netflix’s The Characters: Tim Robinson), Eric Rahill (FX’s The Bear), Katy Fullan (HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm), and Daniel Simonsen (BBC’s House of Fools).
Ben Kitnick directed the film, which he co-wrote with Stavros Halkias and Wes Haney. Greg Newman produced it, while Halkias, Haney, Kitnick, Nicola Goelzhaeuser, and Giles Edwards served as executive producers.
The plot goes like this: “Having missed out on his cult’s long-awaited ritual suicide, an obnoxious loser teams up with his bogus ex-messiah to rebuild their doomsday commune. Traveling together through middle America, the constantly-bickering duo induct a military wannabe, a mentally unstable mom, and a mysterious foreign hitchhiker into their cult… but will this family of outcasts fulfill their transcendent destiny, or decide this life might be worth living after all?”
