The Story Behind Mockbusters

I was getting a Be Kind Rewind vibe reading this article about two guys who spend their time (and make money) making mock versions of blockbuster films.

I get the impression these guys don’t so much copy the film as try and release films with the same/a similar title and similar stories at the same time as Hollywood blockbusters. You could argue they are trying to capitalise by making people think their film is the Hollywood version, or you could say they appeal to people interested in similar stories.

You have to give a company credit for managing to make a sequel to Titanic. Having watched a couple of the trailers I’m quite impressed with their production values considering their typical budget is $500,000 – $1 million.
