A24 Zine Issue 21
Issue 21 of the A24 zine series, guest edited by Jon Dieringer, founder and editor of the New York film publication Screen Slate. The issue investigates film advertisements published in trade magazines from the late 1970s through the early 1990s for movies that were never actually made — from David Cronenberg's Frankenstein and Rainer Werner Fassbinder's Cocaine to mysterious titles like SlayRide and Fetus® — pairing each ad with its bizarre backstory or evidence-based speculation. With an essay by filmmaker Owen Kline and a conversation with genre film legend William Lustig, the zine offers a glimpse into an alternate film history. Not tied to a single film.
