I wouldn’t be willing to call Michael Dowse Canada’s answer to Harmony Korine, but the Fubar folk sorta remind me of some of the characters I’ve seen in Gummo-Trash Humpers worlds. Dowse is returning to his Fubar roots – producing a sequel to his 2002 original.
The original played out at Sundance and fast forwards a decade into the terrible twosome’s future: even beer drinking slackers need to find work and its the tar sands of the province of Alberta that give the biggest paychecks. Fubar II: Terry and Dean Head North will see the headbanger relics Dean (Paul Spence) and Terry (Dave Lawrence) see an updated (still below) back in the ’86 Cutlass Supreme, flat of beer in the trunk, heading to Fort McMurray in search of sweet cash from working on the pipelines.
I’d normally be weary of seeing a part II, but Dowse who gave us one more reason to appreciate his talents with It’s All Gone Pete Tong, is probably going to do more than just a cash grab. Production has begun and will continue until mid December. Shirley Vercruysse, George Baptist and Jennifer Wilson produce while the Director of Photography is Bobby Shore, – he worked on a breakout indie Who Is KK Downey?.
