Dude, don't say it looks good, because it's the Asylum. The weakest of the weak.

Also, they've been working a LOT in 2007, and Tokyo is already in post production. There's something unusual about this...
...in game?

How on earth could it be in game? Neutral It's like Snakes on a Train, a ripoff planned to be put out the same time as the film it's copying.

I don't know. 1-18-08 surfaced about 102 days ago. There is NO WAY that Asylum could have created a full feature-length film in that amount of time. Plus, since it's a monster movie, there has to be effects, even if crap ones.

Fake listings for objects have featured in ARGs before. Like the fake book The Castaway Theory being listed on Amazon.com made a large impact on Iris.

There's something unusual about this one.

BTW, I never heard of Snakes on A Train, it's not on Asylum's iMDB. There must be more than one fake movie company out there.

EDIT: Tokyo isn't on iMDB either.

You see the trailer for Transmorphers? I'm sure people in my Digital Animation class could do a whole world better than that. Just because they've shown signs of getting a crap, knockoff film out doesn't mean that they even have the same net nerd working on the staff of Paramount and 'Asylum'. It won't be related othat than being a lame attempt to cash in on the hype.

This is the same studio that brought us Transmorphers...Which was shot in 12(yes I said 12) days for $250,000...I say OOG.(and cheap money whores who try to cash in on other peoples ideas Very Happy )

No to mention the stories are never the same ones as in the originals. They just take the same premises(Big Monster attacks City, big corporation involved, seen trought the eyes of a group of friends), shoot a lot of generic stuff (bunch of scenes where people run in fear, large buildings being trashed) and then wait 'till the last minute to shoot the details, like the biggining and the end, so it's similar to the movie.

What I'm trying to say is that the people from Asylum don't know more than us about this movie. Yet they're already shooting a ripoff. That's how bad their movies usually are. I won't be surprised if their movie has a couple of minotaur-lions on it.

Or some Slusho-like drink that's mutated people, or combine 1-18-08 with The Host...

I saw Transmorphers in Blockbuster a few months back. Needless to say, I did a double-take. And then the laughter came. Laughing Laughing

BTW, Transformers comes out on video TOMORROW!!!
