Directed by Venezuelan- American director Joel Novoa, the story is set in Los Angeles 15 years after the world suffered a horrendous disaster when demon-like-creatures invaded Earth and nearly destroyed mankind.

Jackson Hurst will portray mediocre husband and father David Shepperd, who tries to save his family when the demon creatures return to wreak havoc.

In addition to Gomez and Hurst, the film also stars Heather McComb, Hana Hayes, Jay Jay Warren, Raymond Barry and Randy Vasquez. 

Filming is set to begin this week in Los Angeles.

Gregory Gieras, who penned Epic’s sci-fi film Big Ass Spider, write the script.

Mike Mendez is ready to spin Los Angeles into his web…

The Latino filmmaker is set to direct Syfy’s Lavalantula, which will be released next summer.

Lavantula

The original television movie sees a defenseless Los Angeles under attack by a swarm of giant lava-breathing tarantulas that roast their prey alive!

The film will see the reunion of three key cast members from the Police Academy franchise: Steve Guttenberg — starring as a washed-up ’90s action hero who must save the world — Leslie Easterbrook and Michael Winslow.

Nia Peeples co-stars in the movie, which has begun production for a summer 2015 premiere. Lavalantula certainly has some mega-arachnid cred behind the camera:

Mendez previously helmed another arachnophobic film, Big Ass Spider.
