Channel Zero’s Nicholas Tucci Stars in Myth, & He Wants You To Be In His Movie
Nicholas Tuuci is best known for his role in the horror series Channel Zero as Jason. He was also in a film Mother of Movies covered last year, Long Lost. And he starred in the smash horror movie hit, You’re Next. Justin Andrew Scott (She Came to the Woods), Sadie Scott (Law and Order SVU), Alex Beechko (3-2-1), and Connor Dylan (Inner City Rats) also star in this psychological thriller. Small-town Alex meets his filmmaking idol, JP. What begins as a geek meets hero pipedream, turns into a tense and gritty scenario as Alex discovers the rhetoric of “never meet your heroes” applies almost every time.
Brian DiLorenzo’s directorial debut is the type of narrative I’m always drawn to. Where the protagonist tells a story and finds himself in the reality of his dreams. The classic notion of a coming-of-age idea wedged into what happens when those dreams come true.
Here Alex (Scott) is a wannabe filmmaker in college and, JP (Tucci) is the successful but dark and mysterious idol of his favorite film, Myth. You can watch the film Myth streaming on:
JP is all out of ideas, and inspiration, and gets up and goe. His producer is about to get up and leave. He meets Alex, instantaneously rescuing him from his own misfortune. JP immediately sparks an idea with his fresh-faced protege. He’s vibrant, unknowing, and brimming with ideas and unfulfilled desires. The perfect fodder for the basis of a narrative. The result is just as you would expect when a vampire meets a virgin with no acclimation of the danger they are in.

Myth Movie Review
Streaming On-Demand From July 24th, 2020
In a similar fashion, like other movies that form the basis of filmmakers being filmed filming, Myth encapsulates the theory that a director’s job is to manipulate the characters to fit the story they are in. Like the 2015 TV series Unreal or 2019’s Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, the person pulling the strings on what is happening on screen is also telling the story. In Myth, JP’s idea requires him to create the circumstances for his cast. Subsequently, he uses Alex’s life to create his newest film.
Further, Myth is the type of story that might seem predictable. However, like any car crash, you simply can’t look away. How far do deception and manipulation go? As Alex uncovers what lies beneath JP’s agenda, the question remains. By the same token, how much does anyone really know about their so-called ‘idols.’
Myth is a great first movie from DiLorenzo and speaks to anyone interested in filmmaking or even just creating on a few different levels. While the overall film never truly hits any gut-punching lows or surprises that take your breath away, Myth is a memorable 89-minutes that will leave you satisfied.
