Mr. Cudi Expanding His Acting Resume!

Kid Cudi has signed on for two new film roles, an apocolyptic indie comedy title Goodbye World, directed by Denis Henry Hennelly  the film is about a group of college kids that come together for shelter, because of the apocalypse.

Kid Cudi will play an eccentric computer hacker in the group, and will be  joined by a couple (Adrian Grenier,Kerry Bishe) whose off-the-grid home becomes the gathering place for the eclectic group, a disgraced yet idealistic Washington, D.C., insider (Gaby Hoffman), and a formerly imprisoned radical activist (Mark Webber).

“Sarah (Adina Smith) and I set out to write an apocalypse story about that moment we don’t usually see — the part of the story that happens between the cataclysmic event and the trials of survival that come with the new world… Along with Mary Pat (Bentel), our producers from Picturesque Films, and a diverse and dynamic group of actors, we worked to shoot a film that ultimately questions if Americans can still embrace our revolutionary spirit and sense of community,” said director Hennelly.

Second on Mr Cudder’s was cast in an indie thriller titled Tacoma – described as a feature length narrative thriller about a real estate agent who wanted to be a dancer.

The official synopsis reads:

Laura is stuck in a dead-end real estate job in Tacoma, Washington where she lives and works with her domineering mother. Her one escape from their claustrophobic life together is a beginning modern dance class at the local community center. But when her dance teacher is brutally murdered in a short-sale scam gone bad, she doesn’t know who to trust.

Stewart Thorndike is slated to write and direct the project, with Patricia Clarkson and Michael Showalter attached to star.
