“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 FIFTY-THREE:
“David O. Russell’s emotionally brutal boxing picture, The Fighter,was definitely one of the best films of the year, so of course I have to mash it up with the king of all sci-fi franchises, Star Wars. If for some strange reason you’re reading this, Mr Lucas, just remember… imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.”
– Andy Cosby (Twitter)
“Screw the Force, Luke.”
Pitch:
In one of the most bizarrely ironic comebacks in movie history, Mark Hamill stars in this inspirational docudrama exploring the remarkable career of a young Clone Trooper who goes on to become one of the Empire’s most feared Tie Fighter pilots. Shepherded by his loyal half-brother (whose own career was cut tragically short during the infamous raid on the Death Star), the perennial underdog rebounds from a disheartening series of defeats to join in the Battle for Hoth, going on to save the Emperor himself and help bring about the ultimate defeat of the Rebel Alliance, all thanks to a combination of fierce determination and hard work… with maybe just a little help from the Dark Side.
Nick Says: Can’t really sell many toys from this. So, it’s unrealistic. That said, I think this would be better than most things.
