Bonkers Trailer for WASTELAND COP Unleashes Post-Apocalyptic Chaos
Indican Pictures has unleashed the trailer for Wasteland Cop, and it’s exactly the kind of gritty, scrappy, post-apocalyptic chaos you’d hope for from a low-budget indie action flick.
Directed by Angelo Lopes, this grindhouse-style thriller throws everything at the screen including clones, robots, drugs, and high-speed pursuits tearing through a dead world. It’s loud, strange, and unapologetically rough around the edges.
Set in a future where civilization has collapsed into dust and desperation, the story follows a former soldier who’s already lost everything. After avenging his family, he roams the wasteland, surviving encounters with ruthless nomadic tribes that hunt anyone unlucky enough to cross their path.
Eventually, he stumbles upon a small band of survivors who see something in him and push him to become a symbol of order in a place where order doesn’t exist. That man becomes The Marshal, aka the Wasteland Cop.
The film stars Brendan Guy Murphy as the hardened lawman, alongside Jon Proudstar, Sian Vilaire, Aaron Stielstra, Joseph Franco, Greg Brown, and Jed Rowen.
The trailer leans hard into its grindhouse DNA, giving us glimpses of a scorched world filled with busted tech, strange factions, and just enough mystery to keep things interesting.
The official synopsis paints a vivid picture of the world: "War gutted the world. Greed finished the job. Now Earth is a Lawless Wasteland of rust, sand, and ruin held together by a thread and The Marshal is that thread. They call him the Wasteland Cop.
“In a blacked out muscle car, spurs on his boots, a gun at his side, grit in his blood, and a code forged in another time. He leads a fading force of peacekeepers, doing what he can to keep the last towns from slipping into chaos.
“But when a strange device is pulled from the dirt buzzing with lost energy and a flicker of what once was The Marshal hits the road, chasing answers across a broken world. High above, behind steel and smoke, something powerful watches – and it's not going to help."
And just to hammer home the tone, the film’s tagline says it all: "No rules. No backup. Just survival." An early review notes that it "delivers the kind of scrappy sci-fi adventure that knows exactly which dusty, blood-soaked road it wants to travel. It embraces its low-budget roots, leans into its weirdness, and comes out feeling like a loving throwback."
The director of the film clearly knows the lane he wants to stay in, and it looks like he’s pushing even further into that wild, genre-bending territory here. There’s a clear love for old-school exploitation and post-apocalyptic cinema baked into every frame.
Wasteland Cop hasn’t hit the festival circuit yet, but Indican Pictures is gearing up to release it in select U.S. theaters sometime this spring. Enjoy the trailer!
