CinemAddicts Interviews: Daniel André, ‘Running On Empty,’ Simon Phillips, ‘The Mouse Trap’

In the mood for an anti-romantic comedy and/or a Mickey Mouse slasher? CinemAddicts co-host Eric Holmes delivers the goods as he chats with “Running on Empty” filmmaker Daniel André and “The Mouse Trap” actor-writer Simon Phillips. Listen below for more details on these movies!

Daniel André directs and writes “Running on Empty,” the story of a mortician named Mort (Keir Gilchrist) who discovers he has less than a year to live. It’s a new technology which enables people to find out when they’re going to die. Upon hearing the news, Mort’s fiancee (Francesca Eastwood) dumps him, leading him to go on a quest for a new companion. The ensemble includes Lucy Hale, Jim Gaffigan, Monica Potter, and Rhys Coiro. I absolutely love the movie, and Eric also gave the film high marks:

“Running on Empty” is now playing in theaters and it hits VOD on August 27th.

“The Mouse Trap,” directed by Jamie Bailey and starring Simon Phillips as Mickey, is now available on TVOD platforms (including Amazon). The narrative centers on a young woman named Alex (Sophie McIntosh) who is celebrating her 21st birthday at an amusement arcade. A masked killer (Phillips) dressed as a mouse (the Steamboat Willie version) is on the loose, and Alex may not survive another day.
