‘Eight is Enough' Actor Willie Aames, Natalie Grace Topline ‘Armageddon Road' Dark Comedy (Exclusive)

Willie Aames, best known for his teen actor roles in Eight is Enoughand Charles in Charge, is set to star alongside Natalie Grace in the dark comedy Armageddon Road.

The indie, written, directed and produced by Karen Lam, is shooting in British Columbia. Set in Las Vegas in 1976, Armageddon Roadfollows a hapless ex-con hired by a mob boss to chauffeur his girlfriend for an evening, only to find his passenger dies of a cocaine overdose.

After her body is taken over by one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the driver is convinced to take her to what will be Armageddon in the Nevada desert. Opiate Pictures Inc. and Black Moon Media are producing the film that will use miniature sets created by Gary Young (Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, The Predator and Godzilla) to be projected on an LED volume wall the actors will use as a backdrop for their performances.

The desired effect is creating an imaginary world grounded in hyper-reality. "This film combines traditional filmmaking techniques with cutting edge technology, much like the story itself. This is 1976, but seen through a 2024 lens," says Lam in a statement.

The Vancouver-based director has earlier feature credits like Stained, Evangelineand The Curse of Willow Song. In TV, Lam directed a true-crime documentary series for Investigation Discovery and wrote scripts for Syfy and Netflix on the series Van Helsing and Ghost Wars.

Kate Kroll will share producer credits on Armageddon Roadwith Lam.
