Someone Faithfully Recreated ‘Terminator 2’ in ‘Grand Theft Auto V’
Because you always wanted to see Eddie Furlong in GTA.
You can say what you want about Avatar and his extreme devotion to making as many sequels to it as possible, but you simply cannot deny that James Cameron gave us two of the very best action films ever made. Just a few years apart, Cameron brought his action film aesthetic to sequel Aliens and then reinvented his own 1984 film with Terminator 2: Judgement Day. The latter is widely considered to be on the top action films of all time, and it may in fact be the single best.
Why are we talking about Terminator 2 today? Well, one fan with a whole lot of time on his hands just remade nearly the entire film using Grand Theft Auto 5; I’m not even going to pretend to know how something like this is even possible, but he did it and you need to see it. Running an hour-long, the “full film cover” doesn’t recreate every single scene in the movie, but the man behind Kramer’s Media touched upon all the general beats and, best of all, all the greatest hits.
This is INCREDIBLE. Seriously. It’s a must-watch.
Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
