INTERSTELLAR CIVIL WAR - The upcoming sci-fi epic from the director of Kickboxer 2 and Cyborg!

[Guestx]

I am of course talking about none other than Albert Pyun, acclaimed cult director! He also made that really shitty Captain America movie that came out in 1990.

For those who don't know who I'm talking about, here's a quick rundown from Wiki:

Albert Pyun is an American film director best known for having made many low-budget B-movies and direct-to-video action films. The Independent Film Channel said that Pyun "has carved out a unique niche as a director of low-budget, high-concept genre films starring actors past their prime", adding that "others believe this a charitable description for Pyun, who has also been derided as the new Ed Wood." Though he frequently blends kickboxing and hybrid martial arts with science fiction and dystopic or post-apocalyptic themes, which often include cyborgs. Pyun stated in an interview that "I have really no interest in cyborgs. And I've never really had any interest in post-apocalyptic stories or settings. It just seemed that those situations presented a way for me to make movies with very little money, and to explore ideas that I really wanted to explore — even if they were [controversial]."

He's kind of like Uwe Boll before Uwe Boll.

And now he's ready to share with us his "vision of the universe at war" in his new sci-fi epic, "Interstellar Civil War: Guardians of the Future"!

Is this a B movie also?

Opening shot...

Woman A: "So you're saying this battle is the cover we need to win the war." <Looks to her LEFT>

Woman B: <standing to her RIGHT> "I'm afraid so."

Jeez, this guy has made 54 of these?

A B movie at best. A C movie is probably more like it.

But I do want to give credit where credit is due: There are a couple of visuals in the trailer that I actually think look kind of cool.

Well, Cyborg was okay I guess.

I certainly haven't seen everything he's done--not even close--but of the ones I HAVE seen, I actually liked Kickboxer 4. I still rewatch that one once in a blue moon.

That might be the worst film title I've ever heard. It sounds like a straight-to-DVD movie you'd see in a bargain bin in a post office for 99p.

I think dude just takes the titles of current hits and mashes them up to find a title, and then a plot.

I listened to this interview with Albert Pyun yesterday. It was actually pretty interesting.

He sounds surprisingly grounded for someone who makes such wacky movies. What was particularly interesting though is that he talked about how he's been suffering from dementia and how that affected the making of this film. It actually made me more interested in checking out this movie.

@europe1, I know you like The Projection Booth as well as B cinema, so you may also find this worthwhile:

Even though I think that Pyun is a pretty poor filmmaker (capable of making even highly interesting premises like Radioactive Dreams fall apart) he has always seemed like a likable chap from what I remember.
