Monsters of California: First trailer for Tom DeLonge’s sci-fi adventure

Directed and co-written by Blink–182’s Tom DeLonge – alongside Ian Miller – Monsters of California is a brand new sci-fi adventure drama which follow a trio of friends on the hunt for paranormal entities and UFOs.

Check out the trailer here…

The movie takes place in Southern California and follows teenager Dallas Edwards (Jack Samson) and his wayward friends Riley (Jared Scott) and Toe (Jack Lancaster), who are on a quest for the meaning behind a series of mysterious, paranormal events. It’s years on from his dad’s disappearance and, although his family are still grieving, they’re starting to move on with their lives… but Dallas believes there’s much more to what happened than meets the eye.

Spending his time in haunted houses, paranormal hunting and getting stoned with his best friends, he’s convinced that other life forms live among us, but when they uncover government secrets that his fighter pilot father left behind, they set off on a mission to find out the truth.

With the military – led his Uncle Myers (Casper Van Dien) – on their case and the help of his dad’s old colleague Dr. Walker (Richard Kind), the friends embark on a wild and dangerous adventure that takes them to the heart of UFOs and other unexplained phenomena. Can they uncover the truth about his father and unravel the hidden, extraordinary secrets held deep within secret Governments organisations, or will they pay the ultimate price?

“It’s a throwback to Steven Spielberg movies and Stranger Things,” Casper Van Dien explains of the movie when we spoke to him last week about the movie.

“The Six Million Man, Star Trek, Star Wars, Close Encounters of the Third Kind… all these different things have meant so much to me and the last scene in Monsters of California feels like that for me,” he continues.

“I just hope the movie makes people excited and inspires them. And I hope Tom gets to direct again because I think he did a great job.”
