Producers Selling Rights to ‘Return of the Living Dead’ Sequel on eBay!
Someone forked over millions to be the sole owner of the Wu-Tang Clan album Once Upon A Time In Shaolin.
Surely nobody is willing to do the same for one of the god-awful Return of the Living Dead sequels.
The producers of Return of the Living Dead: Rave to the Grave are selling the rights to their 2005 disappointment in an eBay auction, which is a great stunt for free press, but equally as embarrassing.
The filmmakers claim to be selling the rights due to their inability to store the 35mm film-materials, which includes all laboratory pre-print materials and including brand new prints.
If someone decides to purchase the rights to Return of the Living Dead: Rave to the Grave it will be like purchasing several broken down 1992 Honda Civics and then figuring out where to store them.
In addition, the post hilariously points out that several international territories have been unsold – I guess they chose to not sell the territories in case they one day decided to sell the film on eBay?
For me, there’s a fun experiment hiding in this sale: if someone were to have expendable cash, it would be interesting to see if they could use the footage to edit together a better movie. Although, I’m not sure polishing a turd is worth the energy…
Anyways, the $50k asking price doesn’t include shipping, making this post even more comical. Tomorrow I plan on giving thanks for the eBay listing’s existence. It definitely made my week!
Oh, and if for whatever reason one of you dear readers buy this hunk of scrap metal, please contact us and explain why.
After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.
You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!
Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.
Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”
“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.
She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”
Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.
Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
