Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

In the not-too-distant dystopian future of South Africa, the homeless crisis has reached such a critical level that the government has decided to liquidate the problem (literally). It’s up to a ragtag group of homeless individuals to fight back before the entire population of homeless people is rounded up and liquefied.

 

Filmed in various locations around Cape Town, South Africa.

Cineverse will debut the film as a Screambox original movie.

Director Ryan Kruger was quoted saying: “Our reimagining of Street Trash takes place in Cape Town, South Africa where the growing divide between rich and poor has changed the world as we know it. I was a huge fan of the original ‘Street Trash’ when I was a kid, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to introduce a whole new generation to the melted gonzo goodness that made the original such a classic.” Adding… “While our reimagining features new, exciting plot elements that give the film many bizarre twists and turns, the core of the film lies with our diverse and unique cast of characters. As a director, I am very character centric and I can’t wait to see our strange and hilarious ensemble on screen together as they navigate the hostile streets of Cape Town. Our version of ‘Street Trash’ will be raw, hilarious, packed with vibrant characters and multi-colored explosions of gooey greatness.” (8/8/23)

Said to be shot entirely on 35mm.

Directed by Ryan Kruger (Fried Barry).

Original Street Trash director Jim Muro and producer Roy Frumkes executive produce alongside Bad Dragon and Vinegar Syndrome.

This is a remake of the 1987 cult classic with the same name.

Cineverse released Street Trash on VOD/Digital on November 19, 2024.
