Solving The 'Sherlock Holmes' Dinosaur Deficit Problem
A couple of issues back Wired had a short piece on the Asylum,
a low-budget studio specializing in shamelessly derivative knockoffs that are not-so-affectionately dubbed "mockbusters." B-movie producers have been cribbing from Hollywood for decades, but none have done so as brazenly or efficiently as the Asylum, which for the past six years has churned out titles like Snakes on a Train, Transmorphers, The Terminators, The Day the Earth Stopped, and, of course, last summer's Transmorphers: Fall of Man.
Now Topless Robot points to the preview for their forthcoming version of Sherlock Holmes, which seems to be everything promised and more! Enjoy.
That looked non-crappy; or at least better than the Transmorphers trailer by several factors.
Movies can always use more pterodactyls.
So Sherlock Holmes fights dinosaurs, the kraken and steam punk Iron Man (ripping off Robert Downey Jr. a second time). On one hand, I don't see how that couldn't be totally entertaining, but on the other, I can't see how it could be better than the trailer.
Gareth-David Lloyd!
