It's a Fact: Jen & Sylvia Soska are Taking Over the World

Nerd girls FTW

If you know me, or regularly read my infrequently updated blog, you'll know that I'm a huge fan of the Twisted Twins, aka Jen & Sylvia Soska, both as writers/directors/everythings and as people (talk about two people who are absolutely amazing to their fans). You can read my first post about them/review of their feature length debut, Dead Hooker in a Trunk, here. Also, if it weren't for them, I never would have made this radgasmic little zombie short, so I kind of owe them, too.

Seriously, who isn't swooning over the Twinniepoos?

I could gush about them forever, but the three people who read it don't want that, so I'll just make my point: after a killer (pun!) showing at the Cannes Film Festival a few months back, their newest film, American Mary, made quite the splash. A couple of weeks back, the Twins tweeted a message about great news (and subsequent dancing around). The filthy teases. Well, we had to wait until today.

Dread Central and Daily Dead, among other media outlets, have broke the news that Universal Pictures International Entertainment has picked up the foreign distribution rights for American Mary. This is absolutely amazing news for the Canadian duo, as well as there fans. Now, I, for one, am fiercely waiting for the news of a US distributor for the film, which may or may not be one more of the many rad secrets that the Twins want to share with us, but contractually cannot. Yet. In the meantime, I highly, highly recommend that you watch the American Mary trailer, then rewatch it, then rewatch it like 17 more times (20 times would be far too much...for one sitting...maybe).
