“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 THIRTY:
“Gonna try to blend science fiction and spy fiction today. Let’s see what happens.”
– Andy Cosby (Twitter)
“What you don’t know can kill you.”
Pitch:
CITIZEN X – As part of a top-secret government experiment, Jack Clayton is given extraordinary psychic powers, not the least of which is his uncontrollable ability to erase his presence from other’s minds. In essence, Jack becomes a non-entity,capable of making his presence known only by incredible force of will, and so has just become potentially the government’s greatest secret agent. Unfortunately, because of his unique ability, no one remembers creating Jack, so when another test subject with the same power goes rogue and destroys all the project files, Jack suddenly finds himself on the run and hunted by the only other person who even knows he still exists.
Nick Says: This is a great idea. Cast Lou Diamond Phillips and it’s absolute fuck. Cast Mat Damon and it’s a masterpiece.
