Check out this new behind-the-scenes featurette for John Dies at the End, now available on-demand and hitting limited theaters on January 25th, 2013.
The sci-fi/horror movie from horror icon Don Coscarelli (Bubba Ho-Tep) stars Chase Williamson, Rob Mayes, Clancy Brown, Glynn Turman, Doug Jones, Fabianne Therese, Jonny Weston, Paul Giamatti, and Daniel Roebuck.
The following featurette featuring Giamatti and director Coscarelli takes you behind the making of the adaptation from David Wong‘s audacious trans-genre horror novel. John Dies at the End, which made its premiere at Sundance earlier this year is also written by Coscarelli.
The film closed out the Midnight Madness sidebar at TIFF where Magnet acquired the adaptation.

On the street, they call it ‘soy sauce.' It's a paranormal, psychoactive drug that promises an out-of-body experience with each hit. Its users drift across time and dimensions, but some who come back are devoid of all humanity. While most of Earth's inhabitants remain blissfully oblivious to its threat. Make no mistake, an otherworldly invasion is under way, and mankind needs to be saved. Enter John and David, a pair of college dropouts who can barely hold down jobs. How can these guys possibly be expected to rescue mankind from certain destruction?
Originally erupting from the devilishly ingenious mind of David Wong, alter ego of Cracked.com's senior editor Jason Pargin, JOHN DIES AT THE END began as a Web serial that became an Internet phenomenon. In the highly capable hands of legendary cult horror director Don Coscarelli (Phantasm, Bubba Ho-Tep), Pargin's wildly trippy vision is forged into big-screen eye candy. The end result will take you to places in your subconscious that you shouldn't be allowed to visit.
