What is Tom DeLonge’s Monsters of California about?
“After discovering research left behind by a missing government agent, Dallas Edwards and his misfit high school friends embark on a righteous and dangerous adventure to uncover a paranormal conspiracy in Southern California that brings them face-to-face with some of the government’s most guarded mysteries,” the official synopsis reads.
Monsters of California stars Jack Samson, Casper Van Dien, Camille Kostek, Richard Kind, and Arianne Zucker. DeLonge co-wrote the screenplay alongside Ian Miller and Ben Kull.
DeLonge also serves as a producer alongside Stan Spry and Eric Scott Woods. Additionally, the film features new original music composed by Ilan Rubin and produced by DeLonge and Aaron Rubin.
“The film takes my fascination with the unexplained, combines it with the skate culture I grew up a part of, and tosses in my ridiculous sense of humor that millions got to witness during my Blink-182 days,” DeLonge told Gizmodo in a statement. “In recent years, I’ve had the good fortune of helping the government remember how much they care about UFOs through the work we do at To The Stars, and it’s that experience which helped inspire this movie. I can’t wait for audiences to see the fucked up fun adventure these kids go on.”
Monsters of California releases in theaters and On Demand on October 6, 2023. It then arrives on DVD on December 5, 2023.
