Send Us Your GUNS AKIMBO Poster Redux!

We gave you the power to choose the poster we would use for the Australian theatrical release of GUNS AKIMBO and now we’re giving you the opportunity to create a GUNS AKIMBO poster redux! That’s right we’re going to supply you with some gun-less and textless poster assets so you can have a crack at making us laugh and in turn be up for some very cool prizes!

By you now you will have likely seen our official Aussie poster for GUNS AKIMBO but in the slim instance you haven’t, see below…

You can decide on what Miles (Daniel Radcliffe) can be holding in his hands, a new title for the film (preferably keeping the ‘AKIMBO’ at the tail) and even a new tagline for the film to fit with your concept! You need not worry about logos, billing block or in cinemas date.

You don’t need be a Photoshop veteran to enter, you could even knock-up something in Paint. We’re looking for creativity and above all we’re looking for a laugh!

You can reply to our Facebook or Twitter post with your entry or alternatively Email it to us if you’re not on the socials!

We’ll compile our ten favourites and put them to a vote on Tuesday 25th of February via our site and socials.

Prepare to ‘get loaded’ as FANGORIA x MONSTER FEST in association with MADMAN FILMS present GUNS AKIMBO for Special Event Screenings across Australia on Friday February 28th.

GUNS AKIMBO is the latest feature from DEATHGASM writer/director Jason Lei Howden and stars Daniel Radcliffe (SWISS ARMY MAN) & Samara Weaving (READY OR NOT)!

Nerdy video game developer (Radcliffe) is a little too fond of stirring things up on the internet with his caustic, prodding, and antagonizing comments. One night, he makes the mistake of drunkenly dropping an inflammatory barb on a broadcast of Skizm, an illegal death-match fight club streamed live to the public. In response, Riktor (Ned Dennehy), the maniacal mastermind behind the channel, decides to force Miles’ hand (or hands, as it were) and have him join the “fun.” Miles wakes to find heavy pistols bolted into his bones, and learns Nix (Weaving), the trigger-happy star of Skizm, is his first opponent.

Gleefully echoing elements of Edgar Wright’s SCOTT PILGRAM VS THE WORLD, THE PURGE franchise, and video games like MORTAL KOMBAT, GUNS AKIMBO is hilariously dark, viciously violent, and potentially — chillingly — prescient!

Director Jason Lei Howden foretells of a future that may soon await us: drone-captured live feeds, UFC-like competitions pushed to an extreme, and online streaming platforms used for gladiatorial entertainment all around the world. As Miles navigates the underworld of Skizm, the stakes — and the ratings — have never been higher.
