Wolverines!

Green Lantern was crap. Every copy should be dropped into the sun.

and he owes special thanks to videocopilot.com.

that.... actually looked worth seeing in a theater, something I haven't said in a few months.

.net actually :P

Is the guy making the budget claims a current or former member of congress?

one man project? then who the hell are all these guys:
Directed by Alex Popov Produced by Jim Wedaa Represented by the Gersh agency's Abram Nalibotsky and Sean Barclay
and who the hell are all the actors?
Budget $150? You can spend 3 days in San Diego and Alaska, and also travel between the two places for $150?

will people ever get tired of narratives based on russian plots for world domination?

The total budget for remodel on my house was also $150.00, but like this fellow, we went way over.

Lens Flair: the movie

KillianLett: Lens Flair: the movie

Less than Star Trek.

Bullshiat. $150 would only be a fraction of just the travel between the locations. A couple of the costumes alone would be $150. $150 would cover a fraction of the actors in the trailer or the people who helped make the trailer (despite him claiming it was a one man job, directly contradicted by his own credits). A tiny fraction of the hardware in the movie. Hell, wouldn't even cover the software or video/sound rights.

Utter, and complete bullshiat.

Not that the trailer was bad, of course...but the guy is lying.

Budget: $150 *

* Not including actors' fees, software costs, location costs, stock film footage costs, prop costs.

Betting the hundred and fifty was just the catering costs. Also, he better watch out, he stole that music from Inception. Warner Bros. does not exactly take kindly to people who lift their stuff.

I have to say the concept is better than lot of stuff that has come out of Hollywood recently. I always wonder how they manage to blow a hundred million dollars or more on special effects for a movie that has a script that might as well have been written on the back of a napkin. I mean, couldn't you spend just a little time and effort on the idea of the movie itself?

NewportBarGuy: $150,000,000 of that was spent on cocaine and whores for Ryan Reynolds to get over losing Scarlett Johansson

Came in to wonder how many drug dealers retired because of that movie. Didn't think of the whores.

Emposter: I totally agree with you on that. Alaska to San Diego is expensive. The cheapest flight(s) from Anchorage to San Diego on Expedia picking a midweek flight going at anytime....is $491. What happened to $150?!

Calling BS.

crab66: Roook: Looks more like the trailer for a video game since the plot seems to be 'they go here and shoot robots and then go there and shoot robots"

Mugato: Yeah, they don't make movies like that.

Mugato: Yeah, they don't make movies like that.

Mugato: Yeah, they don't make movies like that.

Mugato: Yeah, they don't make movies like that.

It's an entirely different movie altogether.

make me some tea: He must've gotten a bootleg copy of 3D software and everyone to work for free.

Blender is free, and the effects look on par with those that can be made in Blender (actually, if you get someone that really knows their way around Blender, you could get much better, but Blender is a royal pain to work with).

Gun nut question: if the human forces fighting back are supposed to be American, why are they using FAMAS instead of M4 systems?

@33 seconds GM robotics cell

What happened with Brazillian clip shown here about two years ago? The guy supposedly got a major deal to make a full length movie.

Same with the Mexican(?) vampire(?) movie from '11; that one was supposed to be released here but if it was it didn't make to my city - a great place on a Great Lake.

Any ideas what happened to these?

Interesting concept, I like the twist.

I think he means that he was paid $150 to make a trailer from footage that someone else made.

Nope. The people with the good ideas know what their ideas are worth. Plus a good story has the chance to not appeal to everyone. Both mean less money for the studio. So instead they buy cheap scripts with braindead stories that are sure to appeal to the lowest common denominator and shoe horn in "sexy" actors, explosions, and over the top special effects to help being people into theater seats.

This is Hollywood. Artistic quality takes a backseat to profits.

Githerax: Interesting concept, I like the twist.

It's not a twist. The proffered weapon as Trojan Horse is so obvious that I've forgotten where I first saw it, and any number of JRPGs have turned on the idea of an ancient super-weapon discovered in a forgotten temple/lab/archive/cave when all hope is lost.

Frankly, I'd rather watch a movie based on Harry Turtledove's Worldwar series.

ADubs86: Gun nut question: if the human forces fighting back are supposed to be American, why are they using FAMAS instead of M4 systems?

Because those were the airsoft guns he had in the trunk of his car?

It's pretty cool, but the stolen Danny Boyle soundtracks adds a lot.

/Love me some Sunshine

I know this was supposed to be low budget and all, but I'm fairly certain that Moscow looks nothing like Toronto. Also the Moscow police force probably doesn't use Crown Vics either.

I've seen worse concepts green-lit.

Give the guys five million and see what happens.

wiredmaverick: /Love me some Sunshine

Yeah, I thought Event Horizon 2 was pretty okay. I prefer the original, though.

Looks great. For Youtube. Next.

Oh, buy a farking tripod. Or use 3 sticks and some duct tape.
