Monday, May 23, 2011 at 2:21PM Parody of 'Avatar' in 'The Biggest Movie Ever 3D' in Pre-Production

Well I guess it was only a matter of time. After grossing over $2.7 billion in worldwide box office, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer are back at it again with a parody of Avatar called The Biggest Movie of All Time 3D. This will be the first spoof ever to be filmed in 3D. Friedberg and Seltzer were the ones behind other spoofs such as Scary Movie, Date Movie, and Epic Movie.
Here's what they had to say:
"In "Scary Movie" we spoofed the creepy teen horror genre, in "Date Movie" we took on cliché romantic comedies, "Epic Movie" we parodied bloated blockbusters, "Meet the Spartans" we lampooned the ultra macho "300" and in "Vampires Suck" we skewered the cultural phenomenon "Twilight." But our new movie will dare spoof the biggest, boldest and most successful movie ever made – James Cameron's "Avatar."
With a domestic box office of nearly 700 million dollars and an overseas haul of over 2 billion, it was only a matter time before this behemoth got a good ribbing. And what could possibly be riper for satire? You got half naked blue people plugging their hair into strange flying horses so they can read their thoughts! And nothing in this mega blockbuster is off limits, from its overly simplified message of "big corporations = bad; tree hugging environmentalist = good," to the broadly drawn characters like the buffed out Colonel who's in a perpetual 'roid rage to the very colorful, glowing and... come on, totally stony world of Pandora. And just like "Avatar" our movie will be in eye popping 3-D – making it the very first spoof movie ever in this format. It's a perfect showcase for our outrageous sight gags, physical comedy and audacious stunts that will make for a hilarious film and uproarious audience experience.
Personally, I'm not a big fan of these spoof movies. Don't get me wrong I do think spoofs are funny and I watch them all the time on YouTube but I think you would agree that a 90 minute spoof is just too long and gets old pretty fast. I'm sure I'll laugh at the first 10 minutes of the film but the other 80 minutes will be a waste of time.

'Watch them all the time on youtube' is a brilliant way of putting into words just how ridiculously bad these 'spoofs' are. They haven't done such films right in a long time, not since The Naked Gun series.
thank you for you share

I like some spoofs. The more modern ones mostly suck! Like Date Movie, Epic Movie for example. I liked The Scary movies for the most part. Liked Meet the Spartans and The Comebacks. I like the old school spoofs better though. Movies like Spaceballs and Loaded Weapon
