Tom DeLonge Shares Trailer For Sci-Fi Action-Comedy 'Monsters Of California'

Tom DeLonge recently released a trailer for the sci-fi action comedy, Monsters Of California, his directorial debut.

DeLonge co-wrote Monsters Of California with Ian Miller. He also wrote and scored the original music for the movie.

Monsters Of California, which is described as "a coming-of-age adventure with a sci-fi twist," is produced by DeLonge's To The Stars Media along with Stan Spry and Eric Woods.

"Anyone who knows me, or follows me on social media, knows I'm no stranger to the paranormal, which is why directing Monsters of California was a no-brainer," DeLonge said in a statement. "The film takes my fascination with the unexplained, combines it with the skate culture I grew up a part of, and tosses in my ridiculous sense of humor that millions got to witness during my Blink-182 days."

The movie is about teenager Dallas Edwards (played by Jack Samson) and his friends investigating several strange events throughout Southern California.

"Maybe UFOs aren't what we think they are," Edwards' friend Riley (Jared Scott) says in the trailer.

The cast also includes Richard Kind, Arianne Zucker, Camille Kostek, Casper Van Dien, Gabrielle Haugh and more.

The release date for Monsters Of California is not known as of yet.
