Everyone is aware of Kim Kardashian’s venture into acting when she starred in American Horror Story, and despite all doubts, many fans praised her performance. However, the audience was very unforgiving of one of her earlier works. She starred in the catastrophic 2008 film Disaster Movie helmed by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer.

While it is a parody movie, there are many good spoof films out there that truly stand out. This Lionsgate production is both a critical and commercial flop, not to mention a recipient of multiple Razzie awards.

Remembering Disaster Movie, The Worst-Rated Kim Kardashian Movie Ever

In her interview with Trailer Addict, actress and socialite Kim Kardashian admitted Disaster Movie was her first-ever movie project. She has previously starred in television shows, but the prospect of becoming a movie star seemed exciting to her. The experience was enjoyable for the...

The first trailer for Hellboy: The Crooked Man received a mixed response from fans of Big Red and something tells us this new look at Jack Kesy as the title character won't change many minds.

While this approach to the iconic hero is in line with the comics, it feels a little low-budget. David Harbour's take went much heavier on prosthetics and didn't look much better, to be fair. However, the original big screen iteration dreamed up by Guillermo del Toro and Ron Perlman remains beloved.

It would be wrong not to give Hellboy: The Crooked Man a fair shot, of course, and it will be interesting to see whether it exceeds expectations later this year (it's mid-July and we still don't have a confirmed release date).

Last October, we learned that Ketchup Entertainment acquired the reboot; for those of you who may not be aware, they're the studio...

Fun trivia: one of the working titles for Wes Craven's 1996 slasher satire "Scream" was "Scary Movie." Filmmaker Keenan Ivory Wayans got wind of this trivia, and decided in 2000 to make a film called "Scary Movie" intended to satirize the popularity of "Scream." The late 1990s were a curious time in popular culture, as there weren't too many dominant horror trends. Popular music was beginning to comment on its own self-awareness (see: "Flagpole Sitta") and irony became ironic. Self-reflection went from a healthy Socratic exercise into a loop of eternal recurrence. By 2000, we became so busy commenting on our own commentaries, that it was hard to see where we started. This is where "Scary Movie" dropped in.

Make no mistake, "Scary Movie" is unfunny, as are its many sequels. They're cheap, homophobic, and vulgar. Wayans took his model from spoof filmmakers like Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker, but aimed to make something...

Anchor Bay Entertainment will be releasing Chris Sparling's directorial debut The Atticus Institute on DVD and Blu-ray on January 20th, 2015. Sparling wrote the Ryan-Reynolds-in-a-box horror film Buried. Dubiously billed as 'The Only Case of Demonic Possession Recognized by the U.S Government' the film was produced by Peter Safran. Safran produced Buried, along with Annabelle and The Conjuring; so there is a background in horror film there. Then there are a handful of those awful spoof movies going back to 2000's Scary Movie and an upcoming spoof of the Fast & Furious films called Superfast! Just saying. Dr. Henry West founded The Atticus Institute in the early 1970s to test individuals expressing supernatural abilities - E.S.P., clairvoyance, psychokinesis, etc. Despite witnessing several noteworthy cases, nothing could have prepared Dr....

The CW wants to stay in business with Israeli actress Yael Grobglas. The network first cast the virtual unknown last year as the lead in drama pilot The Selection, and she recently finished a six-episode arc on Reign. Now the CW has tapped Grobglas again, this time for Jane The Virgin, which also has added Brett Dier (Diary Of A Wimpy Kid) and Andrea Navedo (One Life To Live). Based on the successful Venezuelan telenovela Juana la Virgen, Jane The Virgin centers on Jane (Gina Rodriguez), a hardworking religious girl who, due to a series of outrageous events, is accidentally artificially inseminated. Grobglas, with UTA, Thruline and attorney Jamie Feldman, will play Monica, who is left reeling when her husband’s sperm is used to inseminate the wrong girl. Dier, repped by Gersh and Red Talent Management, will play Michael, a cop and Jane’s steadfast boyfriend who has secrets of his own.

Somehow the news that spoof-teurs Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg are churning out yet another piece of their trademark low-hanging fruit with a Fast and Furious send-up called Superfast had so far eluded me, at least until THR posted a casting notice about the film’s newly-minted leads. Friedberg and Seltzer’s brand of parody doesn’t work for me (and never has), simply because their kind of amalgamation has never struck me as particularly smart or inspired. It’s dartboard filmmaking, scripts seemingly put together by way of a flying stick that determines when, where, and how various recent films get crammed into one “script.” Parodies can work, and work well – see Hot Shots, Spaceballs, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, or MacGruber for proof positive of that – but only if their enjoyment is not determined by how familiar you are with the films they are spoofing. Take a look at the features parodied in Seltzer and...

Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg, the filmmakers behind the much maligned film spoofs like "Date Movie," "Disaster Movie" and "Epic Movie," are at it again.

After taking on "300" in "Meet the Spartans" and the "Twilight" franchise in "Vampires Suck," they're now turning their attention towards the "Fast and Furious" franchise with "Superfast".

Actor Alex Ashbaugh ("The Canyons") and stunt performer Dale Pavinski are in final negotiations to star as the Paul Walker and Vin Diesel characters respectively.

Lili Mirojnick ("Cloverfield") and Andrea Navedo ("How to Make it in America") have scored the Jordana Brewster and Michele Rodriguez roles, while Daniel Booko will play the Vince-style role Matt Schulze played in the first and fifth 'Furious'.

Peter Safran will produce and filming begins in October in Los Angeles.

Seltzer and Friedberg's most recent spoof, "The Hunger Games" take-off "The Starving Games," hits in November.

If you.re like me, hearing that The Fast and The Furious franchise has inspired a parody gives you that dull ache in the back of your head when you.re hungover. (Which I.m not. Promise.) Nonetheless THR reports writers-directors Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg are gearing up for Superfast, a spoof that.s meant to poke fun at the car chase franchise that already seems pretty well aware of its own outrageous quirks. As Superfast nears its start date, the filmmakers are proud to announce they.ve found their Vin Diesel and Paul Walker for Superfast in Dale Pavinski and Alex Ashbaugh. This indie comedy will reportedly have a lean budget, so it.s little surprise that they.ve cast relative unknowns in the lead roles. Ashbaugh was recently seen in the notorious Lindsay Lohan vehicle The Canyons, and Pavinksi has scored bit parts in Underworld: Rise of...

Earlier this year, it was reported that Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, the geniuses behind "Date Movie," "Meet the Spartans," and "Vampires Suck," were developing a new movie, called "Superfast!," which will be a spoof of the "Fast and Furious" franchise. And now comes word that Dave Pavinski (stuntman on "Underworld: Rise of the Lycans") will play Vin Diesel's Dominic Torretto character and Alex Ashbaugh (The Canyons) will play Paul Walker's Brian O'Conner character. Meanwhile, Lili Mirojnick (Cloverfield) and Andrea Navedo ("Law and Order - Special Victims Unit") has already been cast in the roles Jordana Brewster and Michelle Rodriguez play in "Fast and Furious" films. "Superfast" is set to begin shooting in October in Los Angeles. The film has already been acquired for distribution in many territories, including Russia, Germany, Italy, the Middle East and Latin America.

Fast & Furious is the latest franchise to get the Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg treatment. Their latest spoof is heading to the screen and, by the looks of things, can't be stopped. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Alex Ashbaugh and Dale Pavinski are in talks to play the Paul Walker and Vin Diesel characters. Sadly, it's going by the title Superfast, rather than, say, Fast & Furious: Comedy Drift.Like barnacles that have attached themselves to cinema's hull and refuse to be dislodged, even with a really, really sharp scraper, writer-directors Seltzer and Friedberg have built a cottage industry for themselves by churning out cheap and cheerful parodies of mainstream Hollywood hits. Often many at the same time. But spoofing on Fast & Furious, where all concerned are firmly in on the joke and people use words like "funderwear", seems an even more pointless exercise that riffing on more po-faced enterprises like...

Up and coming actors Alex Ashbaugh and Dale Pavinski are in talks to star in the Fast & Furious parody Superfast, from directors Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg (Vampires Suck, Disaster Movie).

Alex Ashbaugh is set to play the Paul Walker role in this spoof, with Dale Pavinski portraying Vin Diesel's character. Lili Mirojnick and Andrea Navedo have also been set to play Jordana Brewster and Michelle Rodriguez's characters, with Daniel Booko taking on Matt Schulze's role.

Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg are directing from their own screenplay, with Peter Safran producing. Production is scheduled to begin next month in Los Angeles.

Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg are prepping The Starving Games, a parody of The Hunger Games franchise, for release on November 8.

Superfast is in development and stars Alex Ashbaugh, Dale Pavinski, Lili Mirojnick, Andrea Navedo, Daniel Booko. The film is directed by Aaron Seltzer, Jason Friedberg.

Superfast has found its leads. The Fast and Furious spoof hails from writer-directors Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg, who previously made fun of Twilight with Vampires Suck and laughed at 300 with Meet the Spartans. And as per the modus operandi of those movies, the roles are being filled by up-and-comers. Story: 'Fast and Furious' Spoof 'Superfast!'

Superfast , the upcoming spoof parody of The Fast and the Furious franchise, has cast Alex Ashbaugh and Dale Pavinski in leading roles, says a story at The Hollywood Reporter . Ashbaugh will play a parody version of Paul Walker's Brian O'Conner while Pavinski will take on Vin Diesel's Dominic Torretto. Written and directed by Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg ( Date Movie , Epic Movie ), Superfast also stars Lili Mirojnick, Andrea Navedo and Daniel Booko. Peter Safran, who worked with Seltzer and Friedberg on their latest comedy, The Starving Games , will produce with production targeted for this October.

From the people who brought you Date Movie, Epic Movie, Disaster Movie, Meet the Spartans, and Vampires Suck... Scared yet? You better be because they’re back with their latest allegedly comedic con job cleverly entitled The Starving Games.

From Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, the writing-directing duo that are to great comedy what a scorching case of herpes is to great sex, comes The Starving Games, which we first heard about last October and hoped might disappear (no such luck obviously). If you’re familiar with their previous films, then you should pretty much know what to expect here, albeit this one is even cheaper looking than their previous endeavors.

As you can imagine from the title, the bulk of the movie is a spoof of The Hunger Games. That doesn’t mean they didn’t find a way to clumsily work in such other time-stamped pop culture references as Angry Birds,...
