Fan Movies

I don't care if you're the Dark Knight. I don't care how many criminals you've personally seen committed to Arkham Asylum. I don't care that your parents were murdered in front of your eyes and it caused you to become a vigilante superhero. You don't steal a man's Taco Bell. That's just not cool.

It's been a long, long time coming, but Star Wars: Uncut is finally finished and ready for your consumption. Don't know what Star Wars: Uncut is? It's a remake of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope made by hundreds and hundreds of fans the world over. Each fan (or group of fans) took over remaking a 15-second portion of the movie, which makes this arguably the most ambitious and complicated fan film of all time.

The end result is a wonderfully crazy patchwork quilt of a film, which is exactly what it should be. Because of copyright laws, the minds behind Star Wars: Uncut can't share the final film as one whole film for you to download, but you can head over to their site to watch all of the clips 'edited' together into the final film. It's pretty damned cool if you ask me.

Well now, this is completely unexpected...and completely awesome! A very cool gal by the name of Rachel Bloom has made a music video entitled F%&k Me Ray Bradbury that is exactly what the title implies: a lewd tribute to famed sci-fi author Ray Bradbury in the form of a pop music video.

I highly recommend you click the play button below, because if you're reading a site called Sci-Fi Squad, then this video was made personally for you. But be warned, the lyrics--hell, the title are very Not Safe For Work. So keep that in mind before you develop your instacrush on lady Bloom.

Fact: I will never, ever tire of "premake" trailers. YouTube user whoiseyevan has been making them for quite some time now (I think my favorite is Ghostbusters) and today he's back at it with a trailer for a 1950s version of Marvel's The Avengers. And as expected it is another amazing trailer for a movie that never was.

What are premakes, you ask? It's simple, really: They're trailers cut together from vintage film and television footage to look like one cohesive vision for a film. And it really is ridiculous how many different sources whoiseyevan pulls from when putting each of these videos together. Just check out the recipe for The Avengers, which is, and I do not use this word lightly considering how overused it has become, epic.

Don't worry if you can't catch all the references to Marvel characters, either, as he/she has created a handy frame-by-frame breakdown for us mere mortals, which is also embedded below.

Variety is a little scant on the specifics, but they've got news that Warner Brothers has just bought World War X, a script from newcomer Colin Trevorrow. The always-fun Joel Silver will be producing under his Silver Pictures banner. As for what WWX is about, Variety says it revolves around a man who is recruited to special government team tasked to stop a future terrorist who is using time travel to alter the course of history.

Yep, time-travelling terrorists. I dig it.

Since that's really all we know at this point, I figured I might as well spread more time travel love and share Hirsute, a funny-little short that I first saw at last year's Fantastic Fest. It has nothing to do with terrorists who exploit the space-time continuum, but it's still pretty cool. Check it out below.

Silly Star Wars, always invading our pop culture. And, occasionally, our planet. The above picture is part of Mike Horn's striking series of photographs showing Star Wars characters around San Francisco. Each of his pictures is actually available in a massive, print-worthy resolution at his Flickr page.

But it gets even better. Horn's Star Wars in Frisco art isn't confined simply to a few gorgeous photos and illustrations, he actually has a pretty clever video to go with the theme. It's title? Simple: "Imperial Fleet Week". Check it out below.

As long as there have been heroes with inhuman super powers, geeks everywhere have debated one crucial aspect of the extent of said super powers. There's no need to dance around the bush, either. We all know what the question is. We've all thought about it. Wouldn't someone like Superman have super sperm?

It's an issue that, understandably, hasn't been touched upon in most superhero properties, but a few have dared to go there. Vincent Ngo's original script for Tonight, He Comes addressed the issue of super sperm quite directly, but his very R-rated script was significantly toned down once it eventually made its way to the big screen as Hancock. However, director Peter Berg did keep some of Ngo's riskier material in his shooting script, it's just that Hancock's sex scene ended up on the cutting room floor.

But of course I've gone ahead and embedded that deleted Hancock scene below, as I was inspired to track it down after watching this fan-made cartoon of The Pro. I actually hadn't heard of Garth Ennis' comic about a superpowered hooker until io9 shared this clip, but now I'm instantly sold on its delightfully taboo sense of humor. If dangerous ejaculation seems up your alley, head over to YouTube to see the full 8-minute cartoon, made by Jimmy Palmiotti. Fingers crossed that someone at Adult Swim takes notice and turns this into a regular series.

As you may already know, Predators comes out in theaters today, and Fox was wise enough to re-release the original Predator on an all-new special edition blu-ray to get everybody pumped up. But, if you're like me, a modern man on the go, you may not have time to watch Predator again before you take in its latest sequel. Don't worry, I'm here to help.

In only five minutes, you can experience the entire 1987 John McTiernan film, as re-told by geek goddess Kayla Kromer and company. Kromer stars as a fairly convincing, albeit prettier, Dutch as he (she?) faces off against an alien hunter from another world, with all of the crackling dialogue and amazing special effects you remember from the original. This low-fi version won an audience award as part of a "sweded" film contest hosted by the Alamo Drafthouse. It currently lives on as part of the Alamo's pre-show reel for Predators, if you need to see it on the big screen (and you will, trust me).

You can see the best remake of Predator ever made, after the jump.

I don't know if you're aware or not, but making movies isn't easy and it's not exactly cheap. It's even harder and more expensive if your movie happens to be about a group of Nazis who secretly colonized the dark side of the moon right at the end World War II and are on the verge of mounting a full scale invasion of the Earth. You're not exactly going to pull that off convincingly with your buddies in the backyard over the course of a few weekends (though if anyone wants to put their attempts on YouTube, I would gladly watch you pretending to pilot a spaceship made out of cardboard boxes).

We all should know about Iron Sky at this point, but in case you haven't heard of it over the years, it's a Finnish film project about, as mentioned, Nazis on the dark side of the moon. It's basically been a hypothetical project for several years now, but after the YouTube views kept racking up, Blind Spot Pictures began to actively seek funding from anyone who would give it to them. Well, as Wired tells us, the Iron Sky team has raised approximately 90% of their $8.5 million budget, which is enough to get them on their way to officially casting the film before finally filming it in Australia and Germany this fall. That's great news for fans of Indie sci-fi.

Check out the most recent Iron Sky teaser trailer below.

Tony Stark has always been something of a ladies' man in the Iron Man comics and movies, but a new video takes the superhero into uncharted erotic territory. Suddenly the nickname Shellhead has a whole new meaning.

Meet Violet Doll. She's an alt babe who loves costumes, roleplay, and being noodz. You get all of that in her latest video which she attributes to her "massive crush on Robert Downey Jr." Though you won't find the real Robbie in this clip -- instead you get lots of boobs, glasses, Underoos, knee socks, and one very lucky Iron Man doll. It's a three minute clip with no plot to reveal other than she gets naked and rapey with Iron Man, which will make plushie enthusiasts and some geeks very happy.

The video is very NSFW, but you can visit her website to check it out. You might have to readjust your pulse bolt settings when you're done watching.
