Matt Tolmach Productions and Circle of Confusion are getting ready to begin production on the Sony Pictures comedy feature film "The Kitchen Sink" and casting directors are holding auditions for starring, co-starring, supporting, and day-player roles. The stand-ins and photo-doubles for the principal actors, as well as general extras and featured background actors are also now being cast. Shooting will take place in Los Angeles beginning on August 5, 2013 and will continue through September 15, 2013. "The Kitchen Sink" will hit theaters on October 17, 2014.

"The Kitchen Sink" is about the unlikely alliance between a high school-aged vampire, zombie and human as they try to save their town from invading aliens. Think "Breakfast Club" meets "Zombieland", you get an idea of the title in an early scene where two kids are running from zombies. Those zombies suddenly are attacked by vampires. Just when they are all facing off, there's a bright light overhead. You realize the aliens have landed and these groups have to band together, suppress the urge to kill each other, and it becomes thematically the enemy of my enemy is my friend. That makes it different than your usual zombie, vampire, or alien movie.

Starring in "The Kitchen Sink" is two-time Teen Choice Awards winner Vanessa Hudgens playing the role of a popular teen who finds herself in danger when aliens invade her small town of Danville. The former Disney Channel star recently starred opposite Nicolas Cage and John Cusack in the feature film "The Frozen Ground". She also starred with Amber Heard in "Machete Kills", and just completed voicing the role of Janis in the animated feature film "The Great Migration". Also starring in "The Kitchen Sink" is two-time Golden Globe Awards nominee Denis Leary playing a wealthy and smart resident of Danville. Young Artist Awards nominee Nicholas Braun, The Amazing Spider-Man's Chris Zylka, Mackenzie Davis, and Josh Fadem have also joined the cast.

Independent Spirit Awards nominee Robbie Pickering will direct "The Kitchen Sink" from an original screenplay written by Oren Uziel, who is also writing the screenplay for "22 Jump Street," "Mortal Kombat," and "Men in Black 4". Matthew Tolmach will produce with Kate Checchi under the banner of his production company Matt Tolmach Productions. Tolmach produced "The Amazing Spider-Man," and the upcoming "The Amazing Spider-Man 2". VP of Production Lauren Abraham will oversee production for Sony Pictures.
