Keth Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Right?! That's what I thought too. Apparently there's a whole slew of these, like the animated Asylum. "Ratatoing" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2c1ptxw3uU "little cars" "What's up?" (can't find a trailer to this. Probably a good thing) wall-e knockoff? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTwO9HIHJSU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Haha, it's EXACTLY an animated Asylum. I wonder if they're owned by the same company? We need a thread for these. There's an entire genre of film that preys on people renting them by accident or confused birthday purchases by the elderly. Asylum will shit out an entire movie in 3 weeks based on a teaser trailer and a movie poster, and I bet they always make back their $400 budget. Ok, in fairness, these are mostly more like unlicensed foreign knock offs than Asylum's domestic terrorism. So maybe "exactly" is a bit of an exaggeration. But still.

Keth Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) Still pretty bad. Yeah there should a "movies that look the same" Mockbusters thread, spinoff to the music one. Apparently The Asylum finally got a lawsuit slapped on em for their recent Battleship knockoff. The studio is probably jealous that "American Warships" made more money. Ooooooooooooohhhhh!!!

Thelogan Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Apparently these are called "Mockbusters". And Asylum has never lost money on a film, they usually break even at 3 months. Their latest: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 In 2007, similarities between the distributor's titles and those of major studios were reported. For example, the film Transmorphers bears a number of similarities to the film Transformers, which was released theatrically two days after the release of Transmorphers.[1][2] According to Latt, "I'm not trying to dupe anybody. I'm just trying to get my films watched. Other people do tie-ins all the time; they’re just better at being subtle about it. Another studio might make a giant robot movie that ties into the Transformers release and call it Robot Wars. We’ll call ours Transmorphers."

Iambaytor Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 My favorite was their recent Prometheus cash-in: Alien Origins. I have to respect that shit, that was smart. They do occasionally put out halfway decent indie movies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thelogan Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 With a star studded cast like that, this has to be good. They get props for somehow making Annalynne McCord look kind of dumpy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
