The Kings of Appletown is a 2008 dramedy/adventure film starring twin brothers Dylan Sprouse and Cole Sprouse, written by Amanda Moresco, directed by Robert Moresco, and produced by Moresco Productions in association with Oak Films. This will be the second time the brothers and Victoria Justice have worked together, the first time was in an episode of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.
It has completed principal filming in New Braunfels, Texas and is currently (back) in post production.
The film is about two cousins – Will and Clayton– who witness a murder, but out of fear decide not to tell anyone. They and their friend Betsy, whose father has been wrongfully accused of the crime, go on a journey to find the real killer, and at the same time redeem themselves.
The Kings of Appletown had a limited preview release on December 12, 2008 and was returned to post production.
On April 13, 2009 the film had a special screening at Loews in Lincoln Square in New York City. The screening benefited the Joseph Horvath Memorial Scholarship Fund.
The film has also premiered in Australia on September 13, 2012 on Family Movie Channel on Foxtel and Austar. It is also expected to be released in Australia on DVD early 2013.
