'Turbo Kid' New Movie News: New Trailer Released for Popular Sundance Film [VIDEO]

The indie film, 'Turbo Kid' is quickly become one of the most talked about movies that aired at this year's Sundance Festival. A recent trailer was released for the film that builds excitement for its timely premiere later this summer.

The movie offers a different take on the post-apocalyptic genre with it taking pace in 1997 and largely focusing on kids, bicycles, and a whole heap of action and violence.

Reviews for 'Turbo Kid' boasts the film's score, overall style, and originality, making it one that fans of the action genre are going to eat up.

Here's the official synopsis:

"It's 1997. In a ruined post-apocalyptic world, the orphaned Kid survives on his own through drought-ridden nuclear winter, traversing the Wasteland on his BMX, scavenging for scraps to trade for a scant supply of water. When his perpetually chipper, pink-haired new best friend Apple is kidnapped by a minion of evil overlord Zeus, the Kid summons the courage of his comic book hero and prepares to deliver turbocharged justice to Zeus, his buzzsaw-handed sidekick Skeletron, and their vicious masked army.

"Bolstered by a pitch-perfect synth score, and clever and cheeky period details, co-directors François Simard, Anouk Whissell, and Yoann-Karl Whissell create a raucous retro-futuristic action comedy that pays homage to '80s movies great and small, while adding their own flair with inventive and exuberant violence and gore (prepare for disemboweling by exercycle). Sci-fi legend Michael Ironside delivers with malevolence and glee as the larger-than-life Zeus, a despicable villain with joie de vivre."

The movie was directed by Anouk Whissell, François Simard, and Yoann-Karl Whissell. It will also be released August 28 in select theaters and VOD.
