“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-NINE:
“Let’s face it – there’s just no better movie menace than Nazis.”
– Andy Cosby (Twitter)
“His War has Only Just Begun.”
Pitch:
DISTRICT NEIN – Set against the backdrop of the Warsaw Ghetto, the largest ghetto in Nazi-occupied Europe during the Second World War, a polish Jew named Jacob Berman is approached by a wounded stranger seeking refuge. Risking his own freedom, and indeed his very life, young Jacob takes the stranger in and nurses him back to health, ultimately discovering that this man is no man at all, but rather an extraterrestrial visitor from some distant world. In exchange for the kindness, the stranger shares some of his alien technology with Jacob, who in turn uses it to fight the Nazis and help his family and friends escape Poland to America, where what little remains of the advanced tech is then turned over to the U.S. government to be reversed engineered, providing some much needed support for their faltering Manhattan Project.
