Horror-Comedy 'Youth Juice' Explores Aging Fears

Live Nation Studios has begun production on "Youth Juice," a new horror-comedy set in Southern California. The film features a cast including Gideon Adlon, Luna Blaise, Simon Rex, and Jay Hernandez. Written by Danya Jimenez and Hannah McMechan, it delves into themes of aging and the extreme measures people take to combat it.

Directed by Veronica Rodriguez, "Youth Juice" follows two best friends, Luna (Blaise) and Beni (Adlon), who are deeply fearful of growing old. Their journey takes them to Palm Springs in a desperate attempt to recapture their lost vitality. Rodriguez aims to create a movie that is "sexy, funny, and scary."

The project is a collaborative effort with multiple production companies involved, including Altered.LA and Ruta Media. This film marks a significant addition to Live Nation Studios' growing scripted content slate, which also includes projects inspired by Green Day and a festival comedy starring Owen Wilson.
