I used to do a snarky run-down of the cheese flicks being hawked at the annual American Film Market conventions. However, this year Variety is not listing plot synopsises to go with the titles, so what’s the point?
However, good news for giant monster buffs. The Korean director who made the not-that-great Reptilian has scrounged up an amazing $70 million bucks (to give you a comparison, the recent Toho Godzilla films have generally cost about $20 million) to make D-War, a shot-in-English with American actors (Robert Forster, Jason Behr) flick in which dragons and such attack Los Angeles. The still look pretty spectacular, and although the film still needs some work–Variety reports that the cut shown at AFM will feature “90% of the f/x work complete”–hopefully it will draw enough interest to finish the work and maybe, just maybe, get some sort of theatrical release over here.
Probably not, but one can hope.
