"Suicide Squad" by Starbox Pictures has Strong Memphis Roots
Robby Grant of Vending Machine and Mouserocket has signed on with Starbox Pictures to score their upcoming feature film Suicide Squad, which begins production June 15th in Los Angeles, California. Filmmakers Adam Hatley and Glenn Hopper tapped Grant because "we knew Robby's creepy lo-fi funk sound would be the perfect accompaniment for our project - a creepy, lo-fi psychological thriller," Hopper said.
Suicide Squad is filming in Los Angeles, but the pic has strong Memphis roots -- Hopper and Hatley are Memphis natives who've been fans of Robby's since his high school cover band "Thrill of Confusion," Hatley said.
The film also stars Brandon Gibson, 
whom comedy fans may remember from the local comedy circuit in the Thrill of Confusion era. Something of a local phenom, Gibson was doing stand-up in Memphis at the age of 14. The film also stars Ralph Hatley (Adam's dad -- former radio personality, and current indie film regular).
