“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 ONE-HUNDRED AND NINE:
“Wait a second… This title isn’t a pun! What the hell’s going on?!?”
– Andy Cosby (Twitter)
“No Time Like the Present”
Pitch:
THE COLONY – Set one hundred years in the future, a group of cryogenically frozen survivors from the present day are revived and must learn to adapt to life in the 22nd Century, living in a custom-made community designed to help them acclimate to their “evolved” surroundings. But when one of them discovers they’re really serving as guinea pigs in some twisted government experiment, he soon finds himself framed for murder and on the run in a world he barely understands, hunted by members of a dark Dystopian conspiracy that will stop at nothing to ensure their secret remains that way.
Nick Says: You freaked me out a little, since Steve Alten and I have written a script called The Colony that we want to get made. Would have been a sad time if this was the same plot and you were able to whip it out in a few minutes.
