I’m not sure how we missed posting about Jason and Brandon Trost’s The FP earlier this year when it premiered at SXSW, but this is clearly a cult classic in the making and the folks at the Alamo Drafthouse also seem to agree. The movie is a wacky homage to post-apocalyptic and gang films from the ’80s like The Warriors, but set in a future world where turf wars are settled by playing a familiar dance / rhythm game called Beat Beat Revelation. BTRO must avenge the death of his brother JTRO after their sworn enemy L Dubba E literally dance battles him to death and takes control of Frazier Park (The FP).

Drafthouse Films (the distribution arm of the Alamo Drafthouse) announced this week that they have acquired the U.S. rights to The FP. This is only the second film that they have chosen to distribute; last year they put out Chris Morris’ jihadist comedy Four Lions as well. It certainly seems like a good fit for the Drafthouse crowd, and I am looking forward to see it. Brandon Trost was also the cinematographer on Crank: High Voltage, Halloween II and the upcoming Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. The FP will hit select theatres in early 2012; check out the NSFW trailer after the jump.
