That's an odd title if I'd ever seen one "Jesus in Cowboy Boots," and probably why the film was retitled as Angels in Stardust. Newcomer William Robert Carey directs and writes the comedy drama which stars Alicia Silverstone, Billy Burke and Aj Michalka. The story takes place on the Texas/Oklahoma border and follows an imaginative teenage girl who lives in a mystical and dangerous community who is struggling to realize her full potential and escape the place she was born in. Also in the cast are Chandler Massey, Jeanetta Arnette, Michael Spears, Dennis Cockrum, Amelia Rose Blaire, Sierra Fisk and Adam Cagley.

Chicago – Australian actor Alex Russell has a penchant for exploring the darker sides of the teenage psyche. He made his film debut as a loathsome bully in Ben C. Lucas’ “Wasted on the Young,” before landing a lead role in Josh Trank’s surprise hit, “Chronicle,” about three teens who suddenly acquire superpowers and are excited by the dangerous magnitude of their mysterious abilities.
The dynamic between high school buddies Matt (Russell), Andrew (Dane DeHaan) and Steve (Michael B. Jordan) feels wholly authentic, and Trank finds ingenious ways of fusing in-camera effects with the naturalistic visual style inherent in the found footage genre. Chicagoans who missed the film during its initial theatrical run this year will be able to catch it at midnight June 8th and June 9th at the Music Box Theatre.
Russell’s second film, “Almost Kings,” will be released June 12th courtesy of Breaking Glass Pictures, and...
