The Friedberg/Seltzer 3-D spoof movie prophecy comes to pass with The Biggest Movie Of All Time 3-D
Back around the August release of Vampires Suck, surveying the cost of a critical warning unheeded as a single tear dripped from the oracle’s eye, we acknowledged that the No. 1 box-office opening for the latest Friedberg/Seltzer spoof guaranteed there’d be another one, on and on, until lessons were learned. Indeed, we even went a step further, gazing into our crystal balls just before they were kicked by a Lady Gaga lookalike or a gay Thor who talks with a comical lisp (“I’m Thor too, thilly!”) and saying, “We’ll see you again as soon as they get around to making 3-D Movie.”
And now, that grave pronouncement has come to pass: Icon Entertainment has just picked up the worldwide sales rights to Friedberg/Seltzer’s The Biggest Movie Of All Time 3-D, which will train their satirists’ eye on the modern-day 3-D spectacle, most likely by having characters in cheaply rendered Avatar costumes, say, act out Willow Smith’s “Whip My Hair” video with Johnny Depp’s Mad Hatter before they are all blown away by a giant fart. In 3-D. Anyway, people will see it, the inflated ticket prices will more than fund whatever they have planned for 2012, and tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.
