Set
in the most depressing corner of a post-apocalyptic future, our hero
Kantmiss Evershot (Maiara Walsh) volunteers to take her manipulative
younger sister’s place in the
75th annual “Starving Games.” In doing so, she must leave behind her
smoldering just-a-friend Dale (Brant Daugherty) and team up with the
geeky baker’s son Peter Malarkey (Cody Allen Christian) in a fight for
her life. But wait, there’s more! She could also
win an old ham, a coupon for a footlong sub at a six-inch price, and a
partially-eaten pickle!
In The Starving Games, Friedberg
and
Seltzer’s sixth cinematic spoof of popular box-office hits, the
prolific parody duo has its sights trained on the adventure blockbuster The Hunger Games! It’s all the laughs and half the calories
as they sling dozens of cock-eyed, barbed arrows at sci-fi, action and fantasy films from The Avengers and Oz the Great and Powerful to
pop culture characters and celebrities like Harry Potter and Taylor Swift.
The Starving Games stars
Maiara Walsh (“Switched at Birth”) as Kantmiss Evershot, the eagle-eyed
archer whose bravery and skills inspire the masses along with trending
topics on Twitter®; Cody Allen Christian (“Surrogates,” “Pretty Little
Liars,”) as Peter Malarkey, the geeky young man who volunteers alongside
Kantmiss; Brant Daugherty (“Dancing with the
Stars,” “Pretty Little Liars,” “Days of Our Lives”) as Dale, Kantmiss’s
beau who’s left behind to watch – and simmer; Ross Wyngaarden (“Bonnie
& Clyde: Justified”) as Marco, a ruthless player handy with a blade;
Dean West (“Monster Hunters”) as Seleca, the
game’s controller and Diedrich Bader (Vampires Suck, Meet the Spartans) as President Snowballs, the malevolent, but ratings-conscious ruler. The comedy is directed by Jason Friedberg and Aaron
Seltzer (Meet the Spartans, Vampires Suck) and is produced by Peter Safran (The Conjuring, Vampires Suck).
Rated PG-13 for crude and sexual content, comic violence, language and partial nudity.
