Movie poster for Destiny Express Redux
Destiny Express Redux is a film by American film director Tobe Hooper. The film was conceived and filmed originally as a student project in 1959 under the title Destiny Express. This version of the film was screened only once, in 2009 as part of the South by Southwest festival.[1]
The film was met with enthusiasm at the screening, but was not shown again due to complicated ongoing reception from the screening audience. Despite this, Hooper revisited the project in 2009 and 2010, working with executive producer Eric Laughin to re-boot the project. Hooper and a small crew re-created the project shot for shot, and screened first at Regal Arbor Cinema in Austin, Texas.[2]
Hooper currently has no plans to pursue further distribution of the film. As documented in his 2011 book, Midnight Movie, Hooper "has not left the house since" filming and screening Destiny Express.
