“Roadfam” will follow four strangers, one ghost dog, and a cursed Buffler car across America.
Hollywood may have finally run out of ideas, and this time, it’s literal. The upcoming film Roadfam was inspired not by a novel or a real event, but by a broken sign outside a crime-ridden warehouse. Once reading “Roadframe,” some letters have broken down until only “Roadfam” remained, catching the eye of a film executive who was in the neighborhood. For some reason.
“I saw it and thought – that’s cinema,” said producer Hell Vincento, who reportedly greenlit the project before checking if a script even existed. “Family. Road. Supernatural stuff. There’s something Oscar worthy in there”, he continued.
Roadfam is now in pre-production, with a loose plot involving four emotionally unstable strangers who bond while returning a cursed Buffler to Detroit before the solstice. There’s a washed-up fighter, a runaway influencer, an alien, and a used car salesman that’s living inside a GPS due to his mind being transferred into it. And golden retriever named Greg, who’s apparantly a ghost according to the producer.
Mr. Hell say it’s “Fast & Furious meets Eat Pray Love, but if everyone had unresolved trauma and no working brakes.”
Marketing has already begun. Teaser posters plastered around Los Angeles declare, “Family isn’t born – it’s broken.” There’s even a traveling “Roadfam” Buffler truck on a tour across America.
Critics are already divided despite no finished footage. One film blogger called it “our generation’s emotional roadtrip masterpiece.” Another noted, “It sounds like a group chat dared someone to make a movie and no one said stop.”
Still, the studio is confident. “If the sign could survive the elements, so can this film.”
Roadfam hits theaters next summer. Probably.
