[San Diego Comic-Con ’12] Not-So-Funny ‘Birdemic II: The Resurrection’ Teaser Spoofs ‘The Avengers’

Published

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?

Take your seats. The show is about to begin. Warner Bros. brings us some new marketing for M. Night Shyamalan’s Trap this morning, including a new poster and an original song.

Saleka Shyamalan stars in the upcoming thriller as fictional pop star Lady Raven, and today brings us a first-listen preview of the song “Release” by Saleka as Lady Raven.

Give it a listen right here and find the new official poster for Trap down below.

M. Night Shyamalan’s new thriller for Warner Bros. – the sixteenth movie in his Oscar-nominated career thus far – is headed to movie theaters nationwide on August 9, 2024.

In the upcoming thriller starring Josh Hartnett, “A father and teen daughter attend a pop concert, where they realize they’re at the center of a dark and sinister event.”

As the official trailer for Trap reveals, the pop concert is actually an elaborate trap designed to catch The Butcher, a sadistic serial killer who has been evading authorities.

Hartnett had recently described the mysterious film as “very bizarre” and “very dark.”

According to IMDb, the cast for Trap also includes Hayley Mills, Marnie McPhail, Vanessa Smythe, Saleka Shyamalan, Scott Ian MacDougall, Kristi Woods, and Cali Lorella.

Trap is the first film Shyamalan has made under his new deal with Warner Bros., which has been described as a “multi-year first-look directing and producing agreement.”
