[San Diego Comic-Con '12] Not-So-Funny ‘Birdemic II: The Resurrection’ Teaser Spoofs ‘The Avengers’
Having been the site to discover Birdemic: Shock & Terror (thanks to some of my good friends), you’d think I’d be one of the first to jump on the bandwagon for Birdemic II: The Resurrection. Unfortunately that’s not the case.
Even though many will fight with me on this, James Nguyen’s original indie endeavor is 100% authentic. It’s a man’s true vision to create a Hitchcockian “romantic drama” inspired by Hitchock’s The Birds.
With Birdemic II: The Resurrection, Alan Bagh, Whitney Moore, Chelsea Turnbo and Thomas Favaloro all star in a meta-Birdemic film, an effort by Nguyen that’s incredible self-aware, and thus, in my opinion, not going to be funny. In short, it’ll be a spoof of Birdemic by a director who is now in on the joke.
Gearing up for the San Diego Comic-Con, Severin has released a teaser trailer for the sequel that proves my point. Nguyen, who used to be proud of his ingenuity, has taken to the Uwe Boll camp with this footage by spoofing the end credit joke of The Avengers. It’s without a shadow of a doubt not funny, IMO. What do you guys think?
The sequel, arriving later this year, begins when “a platoon of eagles and vultures attack Hollywood, California. Why did the eagles and vultures attack? Who will survive?”

First Official Look At ‘Birdemic II: The Resurrection’!
First discovered by Bloody Disgusting (not by Tim & Eric, oh no, no, no, noooo), Birdemic became a horror household name. The humor came from director James Nguyen’s serious approach, although most believe it was staged (I assure you it wasn’t).
That’s the issue with Birdemic II: The Resurrection; now that Nguyen is in on the joke, can a sequel be just as good-bad? I doubt it. Still, Alan Bagh and Whitney Moore both return, so why not?
Anyways, an official website and Facebook have been launched sharing the first ever still from the sequel that recently shot around the Los Angeles area.
In the sequel, “Bill is a struggling filmmaker; Gloria is an aspiring actress. Rod, a Silicon Valley millionaire, finances Bill’s film, a dream come true until eagles and vultures attack Hollywood and it’s up to Rod, his girlfriend Nathalie, new friends and old to mount the resistance. Who will survive? Birdemic II, you asked for it.” READ MORE
