“He’s a monster who creates monsters.” Dark Star Pictures has revealed the US trailer for a totally bonkers action comedy from France titled Zénithal, made by genre filmmaker Jean-Baptiste Saurel. This initially premiered at Fantastic Fest last year and played at other genre fests – ready for a spectacular big D release in the US this summer. A well-endowed adult film star turned Kung Fu master is maniacally murdered by an evil villain in his destructive quest for power and male domination, leaving the students to avenge him and restore peace. While they try to save their relationship, Francis finds himself accused of the murder of his former rival Ti-Kong. Fleeing from the police, Francis falls into the clutches of a rogue surgeon, determined to defend male domination at any cost. His girlfriend Sonia then takes action to rescue Francis, save their relationship, and restore peace between the sexes. Starring Vanessa Guide, Franc Bruneau, Cyril Gueï, Xavier Lacaille, Rébecca Finet, Anaïde Rozam, and Thevada Dek as Ti-Kong. The real twist in this is that he gets endowed with a gigantic metal dick (it’s HUGE!!), which becomes a big weapon that starts controlling him. Obviously mocking macho-ism & dicks. Will this be as absurdly fun as it looks? Who knows.
Here’s the official US trailer (+ poster) for Jean-Baptiste Saurel’s film Zénithal, direct from YouTube:
“Men who doubt, women who fight – a couple that grows.” Ti-Kong, the famous Kung-fu master, is found dead. Could the assassin be the Machiavellian doctor Sweeper? Insecure Francis falls into his clutches as he becomes a crucial part of Sweeper’s scheme to preserve absolute male domination over the globe. That is unless Sonia, his girlfriend, decides to take action to save him, restore their relationship, and establish peace between the sexes. Zénithal is directed by French indie filmmaker Jean-Baptiste Saurel, making his feature directorial debut with this after other short films previously; he also directed the “Zorro” series from last year. The screenplay is written by Jean-Baptiste Saurel and Elodie Wallace. Produced by Amaury Ovise. This first premiered at Fantastic Fest 2024 in Austin, TX last fall. Dark Star will debut Zénithal in select US theaters on May 30th, 2025, then on VOD in the US starting July 1st. Anyone want to watch it?
