LESLIE, MY NAME IS EVIL Trailer, Poster, And Images

I’ve just been alerted that the trailer, poster and new images from the upcoming movie LESLIE, MY NAME IS EVIL are now available online, the trailer is via Apple. The movie will be screened at the upcoming Toronto Film Festival ’09. Too bad I’ll have to wait longer since I won’t be attending the event, but the trailer looks trippy. For some reason, this reminds me of Natural Born Killers, where… we’re taken through all sorts of psychadelic wild ride and a bunch of killings in between. Charles Manson is one twisted f*ed up charismatic man, but this movie seems highly intriguing!

SYNOPSIS:
As the ‘60s rolled to a close, the United States was at the threshold of a turbulent time in history. President Nixon was in the White House and the U.S. was at war in Vietnam. The image of the picture‐perfect, stay‐at‐home housewife with the ideal husband and family was being threatened. Forces of change—a sexual revolution, the use of hallucinogenic drugs and a new founded challenge to authority—had crept into family rooms and dinning table conversations. Raised in a traditional Christian family, Perry leads a sheltered life, always doing what is expected of him. He has a wonderful virgin Christian girlfriend, Dorothy. He attends church with his family on Sundays and enjoys family dinners. He is following a career path that will prevent him from being drafted to fight in Vietnam. As a chemist he is book smart and company driven, but doesn’t know the harsh realities of the world.

Everything he believes in is challenged the day he is chosen to be a jury member in a hippie death cult murder trial, where the defendant on trial is a strikingly beautiful woman named Leslie. Before finding herself on trial for murder, Leslie lived a normal life, where she was a cheerleader, homecoming princess and raised by parents who conveyed the image of the picture‐perfect life. But she had a desire to discover the world beyond the confining walls of the bungalow she lived in with her parents, whose marriage eventually succumbed to divorce. Traumatized by Kennedy’s assassination and an abortion, she escaped her seemingly idyllic life when the beautiful boy she was dating introduced her to a world unlike anything she had ever seen.
Leslie joined the hippie death cult led by a charismatic, sexy man, Charlie, who espoused peace, love and happiness with religious zeal, but hidden beneath his pseudo good message was the world of sex, drugs and other debauchery, including murder. Under his persuasion and the influence of LSD, Leslie participates in the murder of God‐fearing citizens in their own home. When Perry and Leslie lock eyes across the court at Leslie’s murder trial, Perry is forced to confront the deepest, darkest parts of him and by extension, our society.
