We have some news to tell you about. We're really excited to let you know that three songs from Ripple favorite Dali's Lama's last album, Full On Dunes are going to be in a movie called "Shoot the Hero." Directed by Christian Sesma, "Shoot the Hero," stars Jason Mewes (Clerks/Zack and Miri Make a Porno), Danny Trejo (Con Air/Heat) and Nick Turturro (Mo Better Blues/The Longest Yard), and of course the music of Dali’s Llama.
The movie is about a 30-something couple (Jason Mewes and Samatha Lockwood) Nate and Kate who unintentionally become involved in a botched jewel heist while shopping for wedding rings. The plot thickens when the crooked casino owner (Danny Trejo) who engineered the heist hires two unassuming hit men to clean up the mess, and the soon-to-be husband and wife find themselves discovering new things about themselves and their relationship.
The movie features the Dali’s Llama songs "Floating”, "On Dunes” and "Cheap and Portable.” Now we already raved about Full on Dunes way back last year, but we're thrilled to hear that someone (some smart someone!) in Hollywood actually opened their ears long enough to see what the crew had to offer. Should be a blast.
