John Rhys-Davies Stars in Trailer for Offbeat Rom-Com BAD CUPID
A new trailer has been released for an odd little rom-com titled Bad Cupid, starring John Rhys-Davies, aka Sallah of Indiana Jones and Gimli of The Lord of the Rings, as Archie/Cupid, as well as Shane Nepveu, Briana Marin, Claybourne Elder, Christine Turturro, and Amelia Sorenson. The film is co-directed by filmmakers Diane Cossa and Neal Howard, both in their feature directorial debuts, from a script written by Neal Howard and Ira Fritz and Anthony Piatek.
Here’s the synopsis:
Bad Cupid tells the story of love held hostage as an unhinged Cupid (Archie) takes a heartbroken guy and his romantic rival on a comic kidnapping. Archie is a man on a mission to ensure true love always wins. Or, short of that, someone is going to die trying. Not that he cares which. So beware anyone who gets in his way, especially anyone he's actually trying to help. In this case, that’s the heartbroken guy (Dave), his kooky cousin and the man about to marry the girl that got away. But just because the girl is getting married doesn't mean the groom can't be bound, gagged and stuffed into a bathroom stall, where Dave will face a fateful decision -- help in his escape or help Archie in a capital crime. Oh, the choices we have to make for love.
This looks like a quirky story, and something different and fun to watch this Valentine’s Day. Check out the trailer and poster for the film below, and watch Bad Cupid on VOD on February 12th.
