Johnny & Clyde

Johnny & Clyde (2023)

Johnny (Avan Jogia) und Clyde (Ajani Russell) sind schwer ineinander verliebt und reisen kreuz und quer durch die USA – so weit, so schön für das Pärchen. Weniger angenehm ist der Trip der zwei allerdings für die meisten, die ihnen dabei begegnen. Denn das Duo betätigt sich als Serien-Raubmörder auf scheinbar unendlicher Verbrechenstour. Der nächste Stopp ist eine von Gangster-Chefin Alana (Megan Fox) geführte Underground-Spielhölle. Was Johnny und Clyde nicht ahnen: Das Casino wird nicht nur von bewaffneten Kerlen, sondern vor allem von einer mächtigen Dämonin bewacht, die unter Alanas Befehl steht. Bei dem Versuch, den dicksten Coup ihrer Karriere zu landen, bitten die beiden einige ihrer schrägen Freunde (u. a. Bai Ling, Robert LaSardo) um Hilfe. Werden sie die Crime-Queen und ihre übernatürliche Wächterin austricksen und sie um Millionen erleichtern können?

Wissenswertes

Johnny & Clyde is a 2023 American horror-heist film directed by Tom DeNucci, who co-wrote it with Nick Principe. The film stars Megan Fox, Avan Jogia, and Ajani Russell. The plot follows a pair of serial killers who assemble a team to rob a casino but become hunted by a demon guarding the cash room. The film received a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and was nominated for two Golden Raspberry Awards, with Fox winning for Worst Actress.

Production

Before going into pre-production, DeNucci watched a documentary on Walt Disney and noted his meticulous planning; coupled with DeNucci's eagerness to direct after the industry was shut down during the COVID-19 pandemic, this motivated him to approach the film with seriousness and determination. Rather than drawing storyboards, he placed G.I.

Produced by Chad A. Verdi and financed by Verdi Productions, filming began in the second half of 2021 in Rhode Island. Fox's scenes were filmed first to accommodate her schedule, before the remainder of the cast was assembled. Casting was announced in October 2021, with Avan Jogia as Johnny, Ajani Russell as Clyde, and Tyson Ritter as casino head of security Guy.

Principe coordinated the fight sequences and had a number of professional wrestlers in the stunt crew. On screen, he played Johnny's foster brother Butcher and the main slasher character. The film uses practical effects achieved by Doug Sakmann, with a minimal amount of CGI in post-production.

The 100-minute film was released in theatres and video-on-demand on 5 May 2023, by Screen Media.
