Deacon Billy is an American maritime road film about Merchant Marine captain Deacon Billy (Dennis Hopper), who trades his ship and crew for the last motorcycle on Earth.

Project status

The project has received substantial product placement sponsorship from Extract of Radium, and hopes are high that EoR management will approve the project for immediate production during the early-1980s, in order to "split the difference" between Easy Rider (1969) and Waterworld (1995).

Production

Famed producer Egon Rhodomunde is backing the project, calling it "a chance to work with the most bent-out-of-shape genius of our time, or any time — Dennis fucking Hopper."
