Even the Crew of ‘AVP: Requiem’ Seemed to Hate Their Job
Remember the 2006 disaster that was Alien versus Predator: Requiem? You know, the one that didn’t really make much sense and was also so dark that half the time you couldn’t even see what was on the screen? Yeah, what a mangled disaster that movie was.
I mean, I’ll give credit where credit is due in the fact that the Predalien was a sweet concept that probably looked awesome. I just couldn’t ever see it clearly. Also, they flat out killed a kid without looking away. Seriously, they didn’t turn away when the facehugger latched on and they didn’t turn away when the alien burst out of his chest. Definite applause from me there.
But the rest of the movie? Wow. Just…just wow. And I think the crew knew just how bad it was going to be because we now have video evidence of them during filming looking annoyed as shit. Seriously, watch the below video and starting at about 1:45 and running for 45-ish seconds, there’s a lighting guy who clearly is beyond annoyed with how things are being run.
What say you? Am I being too hard on this movie or does it deserve all the vitriol it gets?
It was announced two weeks ago that Paramount is resurrecting the Scary Movie spoof franchise with a brand new reboot movie, which will likely arrive in theaters next year.
The new movie, a joint venture between Paramount and Miramax that will technically be the sixth installment in the franchise, is expected to go into production this coming Fall.
We don’t yet know who will be writing, directing or starring in the Scary Movie reboot, but two actors in particular have already expressed an interest in joining the franchise.
The first is Melissa Barrera, who can currently be seen in theaters in Radio Silence’s bloody horror movie Abigail. Barrera is of course also the star of Scream and Scream VI, which kind of makes her a perfect candidate to lampoon herself in a Scary Movie reboot.
“I always loved those movies,” Melissa Barrera tells the website Inverse. “When I saw it announced, I was like, ‘Oh, that would be fun.’ That would be so fun to do.”
The actress adds, “They have the iconic cast that did it, so we’ll see what goes on with that. I’m just excited to see a new one.”
In a tweet posted last night, Bailee Madison (The Strangers: Prey at Night, the upcoming “Pretty Little Liars: Summer School”) also threw her hat in the running.
Madison tweets, “Random but scary movie 6 hit me up cause I just feel like we’d have fun okay bye.” Your move, Paramount. And make sure you call Anna Faris and Regina Hall too.
Directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, the first Scary Movie was released in 2000, just four years after Wes Craven reinvigorated the horror genre with his meta slasher masterpiece, Scream.
The film parodied horror movies of the time including Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and The Blair Witch Project, and the horror-comedy spoof scared up $278 million at the worldwide box office. The success of that first Scary Movie paved the way for an entire franchise of horror spoofs, five of them in total released between 2000 and 2013.
