Legendary character actor Max Perlich (Blow, Drugstore Cowboy, Maverick) and famed “scream queen” Tiffany Shepis (Sharknado, James Gunn’s Tromeo and Juliet) will join Hollywood legend Timothy Bottoms (The Last Picture Show, The Paper Chase) and Graham Greene (Dances with Wolves) in the cast of Howling Wolf Production’s newest horror / thriller feature, TAR. Both Shepis and Perlich tackle roles the likes of which they’ve never embarked on before.
In the murky depths of Los Angeles’ world-famous La Brea Tar Pit there lies an ancient secret – a creature that, awakened by underground construction, turns a night of somber packing for Barry Greenwood (Bottoms), his son and their co-workers into a desperate fight for survival. And, much like Jaws with water, people may never trust the ground they walk on again. Perlich jumps on board as family patriarch Alfred Greenwood, while Shepis plays company employee and want-to-be-pyschic Marigold.
Directed by and starring award-winning filmmaker Aaron Wolf as Bottom’s onscreen son, TAR also costars Emily Peachey, as a follow-up to her performance in the 2014 break-out hit The Fault in Our Stars, Nicole Shipley (Guardians of the Galaxy) and Stu Stone (Donnie Darko). Howling Wolf Productions principal and executive producer Tim Nuttall co-wrote the screenplay with Wolf, while regular Howling Wolf collaborator Andrew Kappel will produce.
