FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New York, N.Y., May 22, 2017- Greetings from Tromaville!
Troma Entertainment, the longest running truly independent film company in America, proudly presents the World Premiere of Lloyd Kaufman's highly anticipated second installment of his 2-part event film
Return to Return to Nuke 'Em High AKA Vol.2
at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival in the prestigious Arcades 3 Cinema, May 23rd at 17:30 (5:30pm), it was announced today by Lloyd Kaufman, President of Troma Entertainment and creator of
The Toxic Avenger
.
Lloyd Kaufman & Michael Herz present a Troma Team Production:
"I couldn't be happier with Return to Return to Nuke 'Em High AKA Vol.2 . The Troma Team and I have been working on this film for the past 7 years. We put our sweat, blood and slime into the production and can't wait for the world to see it! Vol.2 truly is as my partner and VP of Troma Entertainment, Michael Herz says, "The best Troma movie ever made!" stated Lloyd Kaufman, Director of Return to Return to Nuke 'Em High AKA Vol.2
stars Catherine Corcoran, Asta Paredes and Zac Amico
Quentin Tarantino has been a fan and friend of Troma for years, and when he made Kill Bill in two volumes to create an "Event Film," Lloyd Kaufman took note. "Michael Herz and I decided that to mark Troma's 40th year we, too, would produce an 'Event Film' in two volumes just like Quentin did," says Kaufman, "except slightly less lavish in the budget area." Return to Nuke 'Em High: Vol. 1 & 2, directed by Lloyd Kaufman, is a hilarious, thoughtful sci-fi "Event Film" with themes ripped straight from today's headlines: the contamination and degradation of the world's food supply, rampant bullying, and LGBTQ love triumphing over prejudice and violence.
The film, a revisiting of Troma's 1986 Class of Nuke 'Em High is in the same vein as other classics such as Class of 1984, Rock 'n' Roll High School, and Carrie, but seen through the unique vision of Lloyd Kaufman and the Troma Team. Welcome to Tromaville High School where, unfortunately, the glee club has mutated into a vicious gang of Cretins. Chrissy and Lauren, two innocent lesbian lovers, must fight not only the Cretins, mutants and monsters but also the evil Tromorganic Foodstuffs Conglomerate. Can they and Kevin the Wonder Duck save Tromaville High School and the world?
Introducing Kevin the Wonder Duck
This Tromagnifique World Premiere will be presented at the Arcades 3 cinema on May 23rd at 17:30 (5:30pm). The Premiere is free to buyers and the press. Following the World Premiere, Vol.2 will screen at the Arcades 3 on May 24th at 20:30(8:30pm) and again at the Arcades 3 on May 25th at 15:30 (3:30pm).

Return to Return to Nuke 'Em High AKA Vol.2 and it's coming to the Cannes Film Festival! 7 years in the making,
