Movie Review: Street Trash

This new take on the 1987 cult film Street Trash is set in a gritty, futuristic Cape Town. Director Ryan Kruger, known for the bizarre Fried Barry, brings his unique style to this reboot. While still a sci-fi horror-comedy, this version leans into a dark, underground vibe and is clearly having fun with its over-the-top gore. True to its name, it’s a low-budget horror film that embraces its own deliberately “trashy” look and feel.

License to be Inappropriate: Albert Pretorius on the Edge and Art of ‘Die Kantoor’

As a huge cinema fan, I was really fascinated by this interview with Albert. He talked about the intense pressure of stepping into such a well-known franchise, but also how he tackled the often-awkward world of corporate culture. What struck me most was his take on taking ownership of such an iconic, and famously clumsy, character. He described the set as wonderfully chaotic, and you can really feel the fun he had working with Schalk Bezuidenhout. It’s clear he found the character’s heart – and a lot of humour – and honestly, it sounds like a role he genuinely enjoyed bringing to life, even after the cameras stopped rolling.

F1 Sequel: Brad Pitt and Lewis Hamilton Set to Return for the Blockbuster’s High-Octane Follow-Up

Details about the plot are still under wraps, but rumors are swirling about whether original cast members will return. Brad Pitt starred in the first film as Sonny Hayes, a once-promising race car driver attempting a comeback after years away from the sport. When questioned about Pitt potentially reprising his role, producer Jerry Bruckheimer remained coy, simply saying, “We’ll see.” This secrecy has only increased fan anticipation.

The first film featured Hayes teaming up with up-and-coming driver Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), guided by team owner Rubén Cervantes (Javier Bardem). A key aspect of the production was its commitment to realism, with scenes filmed during actual Grand Prix events at various international race tracks. Directed by Joseph Kosinski, known for Top Gun: Maverick, the film was released on June 27, 2025.
