MLive recently reported shooting for upcoming horror film Sucker is currently underway in Pontiac, Michigan. Produced by the Los Angeles-based company Big Screen Entertainment and directed by Michael Manasseri (Babysitter Wanted), the film will follow a man who becomes part mosquito after being exposed to years of radiation and a serum full of rare insect DNA. After the discovery of his wife’s adulterous ways, the Mosquito man seeks revenge and tries to win back the object of his affection. How? By sucking the blood of her assailants, of course!
“It’s a fun, tongue in cheek film about a man who suddenly becomes part mosquito,” said Producer Stephen Eckelberry, describing the plot. The Oakland Press was lucky enough to snag a video of Eckelberry and ask a few questions.
Robert Kurtzman’s Creature Corps. will be handling the FX; I can’t hope but help to see a gruesome transformation similar to Jeff Goldblum’s in The Fly, but perhaps that’s just wishful thinking. More information as we get it — check below for a full plot synopsis.
Full Plot Synopsis:
Lovable loser Jim Crawley is having a pretty bad day. He gets fired from his job at the Nuclear Power Plant he’s worked at for 11 years, his car gets impounded, and he discovers his wife is having an affair with his ex co-worker. To make matters worse, Jim gets abducted by an evil scientist who is conducting tests of a controversial vaccine against a deadly virus that is spreading across the planet. It turns out that years of being exposed to nuclear radiation and a serum full of a rare insect DNA doesn’t mix very well with Jim…..he mutates into a six foot, blood sucking, half human, half-insect that sets out for revenge. The film is a mix of comic book adventure/live action/3d animation and stylized photography.
