“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 NINETY-FIVE:
“Frank Miler is hard at work on Xerxes, which is rumored to revolve around the Battle of Marathon and takes place 10 years before the events of Zack Snyder’s awesome swords & sandal extravaganza, 300. So, since they have the prequel taken care of, I thought it only fitting to continue by bad movie marathon with a bastardized versionof the sequel, which will take place only in my demented imagination.”

“Prepare for Gory!”
Pitch:
Following the legendary Battle of Thermopylae, King Leonidas and the brave Spartan soldiers who sacrificed their lives to defend against the God-King Xerxes and his invading Persian hordes wake to find themselves in Hades, where they quickly escape the tortures of the damned and embark on yet another impossible mission, struggling against the very forces of darkness to return to the world of the living.
Nick Says: Zack Snyder is reading this, looking at the sales for Sucker Punch, hearing the other shoe dropping with Man of Steel, and buying tons of green fabric to build “sets” for this as you read.
