“From the mind behind the mega-hit Syfy show you’ve probably never heard of (EUREKA) comes a tribute to all those no-budget Syfy original movies and the “so bad, they’re good” films that inspired them. Move over Roger Corman, step back Ed Wood, make way on your weekend programming schedule Mr. Stern, because here comes Andrew Cosby’s 365 DAYS OF SCI-FI.
And it’s all happening here! Each day, your friends at CHUD will bring you a brand new bad movie pitch — the best of the worst title Cosby can come up with, no matter where he’s at or what he’s doing, rain or shine, drunk or sober. That’s a whole year of the quality concepts you’ve come to expect from the network that brought you MANSQUITO and SHARKTOPUS.”
And now… DAY FOURTY-TWO:
“The inspiration for today’s pitch was simple: How can I do something that’s socially and politically relevant while also coming up with the absolute worst possible version of a mythological monster movie. It was either this or Flash Gorgon. Enjoy.”
– Andy Cosby (Twitter)
“The bitch is back!”
Pitch:
As social and political upheaval mounts, Egypt teeters on the precipice of oblivion, forcing the ancient Egyptian goddess Isis to rise like a phoenix from the flames, returning once more to our earthly plane, where she begins wreaking havoc on those who would oppress her people. Caught in the middle of this mythological mayhem is a handsome and dedicated young reporter/activist who also turns out to be the reincarnation of Isis’ former lover… and the only person who might reach her before she unleashes her wrath upon the rest of the unsuspecting world.
Nick Says: I think we’re all going to learn a little bit about Charisma Carpenter with this one.
