“Mad Cow” At Cannes Film Festival 2010
Written by Vegetarian Star on April 13th, 2010 in Film & TV.
Mad Cow will have its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on May 17 2010.
The movie depicts an experiment gone wrong, as a scientist creates a half-man, half-cow creature that goes on rampage in this zombie/horror flick.
A vegetarian waitress turns into a weapons expert and teams up with detective Vince Chopper to battle Mad Cow in a variety of scenes.
Will she be forced to kill the creature she gave up eating?
“We loved the Mad Cow concept and knew we wanted to do this film. Mad cow is the perfect film for Cannes because, in addition to being wildly entertaining, it reminds us all that underneath the hilariously funny lies something perverted and deranged,” said Jason Rogan, one of the film’s producers.
Some fun trivia:
1. The writer of “Mad Cow” Michael Wright, wrote the first draft of the screenplay in a barn to get in touch with his inner moo.
2. The cast went to a boot camp at a dairy farm so they could get in touch with their inner moo.
“Mad Cow” is definitely a play on words of the terrible diseases associated with eating contaminated beef.
Wonder if any allegories about the downsides of the dairy industry will be touched on as well.
