Superfast! – Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer go Fast, Furious, and Dumb Dumb Dumb

CAT CAR

Mew fast, mew furious!


In the world of “Why hasn’t anyone ran them over with a cow?”, no one is at the top of the list like Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer. And they somehow continue to make awful awful films, including their latest announcement, a spoof the Fast and Furious franchise known as Superfast! Superfast! will feature jokes that are 80% recycled from all the other Seltzerberg movies and 100% not funny. And I say this in my most kind way possible. But, as this is a car movie, maybe the added expense will translate into box office poison and we’ll be free! Free! FREE!!!!

But I’m not going to count my chickens before they hatch.

“These guys have no reverse gear. They probably don’t have first or second either. This is going to be one ridiculously funny ride,” added K5 exec Carl Clifton.

These guys have no gears! The gears were stolen by a hobo! Come back, hobo!

Atlantic Rim hits trailer!


Asylum’s Atlantic Rim has hit trailer, and has a possible alternate title they are filming under (From the Sea) that got spoilered by some local newspapers. As seen in the trailer, a monster that looks like a crazy mutant dinosaur attacks, so they send in three giant robot fighters to go take it down. And David Chokachi’s character is the loose cannon who will end up saving the day, because we always need one of those. Luckily, the robots are color-coded, which makes Atlantic Rim‘s robots easier to tell apart than the ones in Transformers! Which title will Atlantic Rim show up as on the shelves? Hard to say after Age of the Hobbits got lawsuit smacked into a new title.

Atlantic Rim is directed by Jared Cohn, and stars David Chokachi, Jackie Moore, Treach, and Graham Greene

Medieval Times about to go medieval on your movie theater’s ass!

Medieval Times

For those of you who live your life not near the amazing chain of theater entertainment known as the Medieval Times restaurants, you might be surprised to know they weren’t made up for The Cable Guy! And now you can eagerly await Medieval Times to come to YOU, in movie form! Because someone wants that. Somehow.

The main question is, will this be a time travel movie, or will it be Clerks in Medieval Times? Because I sort of want Clerks in Medieval Times! Just think about it:

“I’m not even supposed to joust here today!”

“Any peasants who were massacred during battles against Ivan the Terrible knew what they were in for!”

“He’s called Sir Snowball!”

“OOOOH! NAVY SEALS!”

This just writes itself! Do us a solid and go for broke, Medieval Times!

I also hope this starts a trend of restaurant chain movies, because we all need a Shoney’s flick! And, maybe, just maybe, the Rocka-fire Explosion Band will return from the shadows to become famous once more. A man can dream…

SyFy – Thursday Flicks and Future Fun – Roswell, Robocroc, Bering Sea Beast, Last Halloween!

SyFy logo animals

The SyFy twitter page has been a bit active giving a few clues as to future features. Rise Of The Dinosaurs on May 11th will be the last Saturday show for a while, as Saturdays become the realm of SyFy original and imported tv series. Movies are moving to Thursday, the first of which scheduled is Axe Giant on June 13th, it’s the Paul Bunyan is a crazy killer flick that looked pretty fun.

The next batch of Thursday flavor is on June 27th, which will give us a double-feature of Stonados (making a triumphant return after getting yanked due to the Boston bombings) and Independence Day-saster, which has an awesome name and we mentioned it long ago.

The twitter dropped an image of four screeners that just arrived: Robocroc, Roswell, Last Halloween, and Bering Sea Beast.

Of the three new ones, I can find nothing at all about Roswell (the generic name does not help in searching!), while Last Halloween is maybe this film –

A tradition as old as life itself. A tradition old as the demonic forces it represents. The story of a group of people unwilling to face the truth, and unable to reconcile the past. And one man who can. But is he even a man? When humans can’t put the past away. And another entity who simply does not want to.

Starring Nathaniel Sylva, Vanessa Leigh, Michael Thurber, Tom Paolino, Olivia Larsen, and David Erin Wilson, and is directed by Christopher L. Ferreira.

Bering Sea Beast has no imdb info, but I have found from twitter it stars Jonathan Lipnicki, Cassie Scerbo, Brandon Beemer, and Jaqueline Fleming, and is sort of a take on the realty TV series I never heard of called Bering Sea Gold. And it has Sea Vampires.

3D printed toys are the new frontier of promotional gimmicks!

The world of 3D printing is full of a lot of unjustified hype and a lot of more realistic scenarios. But one industry that has been making use of 3D printers since before you even heard of them is the toy industry. There is nothing like quickly producing a 3D prototype to find out just how your figures will look, as opposed to a time consuming wait for a physical sculpture (which you can always do later after you get the general look down, but things are increasingly being done via 3D tools)

To wit this pair of current promotions from the two biggest science fiction franchises. First up, you can send in some photos of your head and get yourself a 3D printed Star Trek figure of YOU! A company called 3D Systems is making this happen through a store on Cubify. There are a variety of poses and genders available, though currently all figures are The Original Series uniforms. You can be pointing phasers, running a tricorder, or just telling someone to live long and prosper while sporting Spock ears. This will run you $70 per figure.
Star Trek 3D printing

Now, if you are a fan of that other gigantic franchise, Star Wars, then you are also in luck! But only if you can get to Disney Hollywood Studios in Disney World after May 17th, when is when the D-Tech event begins that will scan your face and 3D print you a Star Wars figure! You can either be a stormtrooper or be frozen in carbonite. This action will cost you $99.95 plus shipping, as you don’t get it until it is mailed to you weeks later. In any event, expect more of these promotions as they are great ways to get blogs to write additional articles about movies. Hey, wait a minute!!!
