Full Trailer for 'Mockbuster' Doc - Making a B-Movie for The Asylum

"Are you panicked yet?" Giant Pictures has revealed their full official trailer for a documentary film called Mockbuster, a clever meta comedy from Australian filmmaker Anthony Frith. This is not a faux doc, it's a real doc film about the infamous studio known as The Asylum. A look at what it's actually like to make a bonafide B-movie. Formed in 1997, The Asylum has been creating rip-off B-movie blockbusters for decades (called "mockbusters") and releasing them to fans who want to watch this unabashed junk and laugh their butts off. Mockbuster is a comedic, behind-the-scenes documentary of the making of Anthony Frith's own dinosaur film The Land That Time Forgot for The Aslyum, which made in 6 days in Adelaide. "Throughout the film shoot, Frith navigates the gloriously chaotic orbit of Asylum producer Brendan Petrizzo and studio founders David Rimawi, David Latt, and Paul Bales as he attempts to keep a prehistoric adventure afloat amid rubber dinosaurs, last-minute rewrites, and caffeinated panic." The doc will be out to watch this July. It's an amusing B-movie version of Megadoc, taking us into the wacky world of making (bad) movies. Enjoy. // Continue Reading ›
