From The Press Release
Writer/director Jose Prendes (THE HAUNTING OF WHALEY HOUSE) and producers Jon and James Kondelik are excited to announce the beginning of principal photography for their fever dream of a film: THE DIVINE TRAGEDIES.
THE DIVINE TRAGEDIES, based loosely on the famous Leopold and Loeb murder case, tells the tale of Charles Brubaker (Graham Denman, The Haunting of Whaley House) and his half-brother Thomas Lo Bianco (Jon Kondelik, Airplane Vs. Volcano), who were raised by their arthritis-twisted, alcoholic Mother (Barbara Crampton). The boys concoct a deadly game to test their superior intelligence against the dimwitted masses. This game will eventually lead to murder, and when Genevieve, a beautiful single mother, enters their lives, they finally find the perfect girl for their first kill. But problems arise when they quickly discover that Detective Homer Gaul (Ken Foree), a cop with a very special gift, is hot on their trail.
Here is the first look at the exquisite poster for the mind trip film, designed by artist Devin Koehler.
“I love the poster Devin has created for us,” says producer Jon Kondelik. “We’ve worked with him on several projects before, and he continues to amaze us with his pieces that are loving throwbacks to the days of the classic artworks from the 70s and 80s.”
