It?s the late 1960s in Hollywood at the infamous Tropicana Motel, and the big one strikes?more than 8 points on the Richter scale. Quake, now in development as a film by Repo Man director Alex Cox, is a deadpan, nihilistic look at how fear unravels people?s emotions, how terror can liberate, and how people manage to survive?even panhandler drifters, Hollywood Cretins, and hippies. A true underground classic.
