Haha! I saw this the other day.

I thought about buying it because it was ?2.97 in the Woolworths budget chart so I could review it on YouTube. The thought passed rather quickly.

lol fucking copy of avp. ..

lol urbanebula, dont waste your life on it.

"Produced by The Asylum, a company known for it?s cheap rip-off DVD movies, which also includes: Transmorphers, Snakes on a Train, I Am Omega, Da Vinci Treasure, HG Wells? War of the Worlds, and Pirates of Treasure Island."

Transmorphers sounds pretty win.

lol fail

why do they make these cheap rip-offs anyway? isnt it against the law or something? and if they have permission then its just disgracefull.

Why would it be illegal?

copy right?

Copyright is all about the theft of "content" without the proper authority and all that crap. If they had called it Alien Vs. Predator: (Crappy SubTitle Here) then they would have been sued. Same as if they had used footage from AvP.

However this is a budget, knock-off movie and while the stories may be similar it will be all original footage shot by a different production company and blah blah blah.

If it was illegal to use "similar" plotlines in movies and games then there would only be something like 50 games and movies in the world. Things like spoofs and most porno movies would be non-existant and that my friend would be a very sad world indeed.

Apparently, it said that when Nosferatu first came out, it was banned due to having too many similarities to Dracula.

I'm pretty sure these would fall into the 'parody' genre, and there are a whole manor of laws to protect parodies and anyone who produces them.

Nosferatu is from 1922, so I guess that doesn't say that much about the laws today.

heh and i guess making the aliens and the "hunters" look a bit different allows them to make this shait.

Edit: they should make steel man lol

wow, thats really old... but ya, funny.
