Music Box’s Doppelgänger Acquires North American Rights to Comedy ‘Heavier Trip,’ About Heavy Metal Band Impaled Rektum (EXCLUSIVE)
Music Box Films’ genre label Doppelganger Releasing has acquired North American distribution rights to rowdy, offbeat Finnish comedy 'Heavier Trip.'
The cast and crew reunite to continue the story of the world’s most dangerous (and charming) metal band, including actors Johannes Holopainen (Turo), Samuli Jaskio (Lotvonen), Max Ovaska (Xytrax), and Chike Ohanwe (Oula). “It’s a thrill to see ‘Heavier Trip’ being distributed in the U.S. Music Box Films and Doppelgänger Releasing’s eclectic slate, spanning both demanding arthouse cinema and mainstream comedy, leaves no doubt about their ability to draw audiences to theaters,” Charades CEO Pierre Mazars said. “We were excited to hear that Jukka and Juuso were working on a sequel, and the prospect of any other North American distributor trying to challenge our dominance in the symphonic post-apocalyptic, reindeer-grinding, Christ-abusing, extreme war pagan Fennoscandic metal space was simply not an option.
