PULP BOY!FROM THE VISCOUSLY ODD MINDS OF VICTOR GISCHLER (GUN MONKEYS, THE PISTOL POETS, SUICIDE SQUEEZE, SHOTGUN OPERA) AND ANTHONY NEIL SMITH (PLOTS WITH GUNS: A NOIR ANTHOLOGY) COMES THIS INTERESTING FILM IN PREPRODUCTION CONCEPT:
PULP BOY is a comedy about the prolific pulp novelist, Emerson LaSalle, who has found himself replaced by the younger, more technology driven generation of writers.
In order to save his career and ultimately his place in the world, he sets out on a quasi-epic promotional tour across the nation attempting to re-gain his former glory.
Along the way, he runs afoul of rabid fans, slick TV executives, and his young Crichton-esque nemesis, Stone Q. Mann in an off-beat-adventure that will decide LaSalle's fate and place among the most terrible great novelists of all time.
LaSalle is not a real person, but he does exist in a very real way for many. He is of the same substance that makes up Pecos Bill, Paul Bunyan, and John Henry - a folk hero of sorts, though, perhaps an anti-hero on the surface.
Just Google his name, and you will be greeted with thousands and thousands of fantastic quotes, stories, and LaSalle-isms that have grown over the years. A fantastic mozaic of his ficticious life has unfolded throughout the blogs, twitters, and web pages of those who love him, and now he is finally making his way to the big screen.
