      Asylum branching out into the musical Christsploitation market.

      Seriously though, with the right marketing, this could easily be their most successful movie. The Evangelical Christian market is pretty willing to support anything with Jesus on the cover.

      "Allan Quartermain and the Temple of Skulls"
      At least I didn't see no CG gophers or CG flying monkey in the trailer. Or Tarzan impersonators.

      I'm really curious as to how much Asylum makes off these movies. I remember browsing their forums once (when they had forums, before they got spammed to hell). They used to encourage people to submit scripts. If I remember correctly, their budget for their films was roughly $200,000. They were offering writer's 1% of the budget for a script.

        I'm surprised Disney isn't challenging this in some way... They've had to build more vaults to hold their HSM franchise money.

            The logline is not bad though.

              You think so? It sounds "meh" to me.

              Of course, it's not really my kind of film, so...

                It sounds more interesting then the movie it is ripping off.

                  George Lucas still hasn't responded to my refund request for Indy IV. Perhaps the Temple of Skulls with be more entertaining than the Crystal Skull was.

                    Well, it couldn't be much worse.

                    Only one way to find out. Rent it. And while you're at it, rent the War of the Worlds film that they did. See if it's any better than the Spielberg version.

                      Never saw War of the Worlds. Haven't seen any of Tom's movies for quite some time. Nothing too personal, but business is business and he'll have to earn my price of admission.

                      I know this isn't fully logical, but sometimes it is easier to enjoy a movie when you have low expectations (cheap rip-offs) compared to movies that had everything going for them (Indy IV)[Spielberg, Ford, Lucas, big money, Blanchett, etc] that don't meet my high expectations. I guess I just expect too much from a $200 million budget.

                        I actually saw a bunch of Asylum movies in Woolworths. £2.99 each. That was still too expensive for me. But I might have a look tomorrow. See what I can see.

                            Watch the trailers. Some of them DO look kinda entertaining.

                              The Adult Film industry rips off things all the time. Just change a word and you can make up your own titles...Dark Nighty, Handcock, Sex Guru, Kung Fu Cheerleaders...it an endless supply of titles and plots to re-use.
