In case your day was going too well, professional joke ruiners Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg are back with a trailer for The Starving Games, a play on The Hunger Games so lazy and shitty that it wouldn’t have made the brainstorming session at Geico’s ad department. Things they lazily include poorly-executed references to include: Avatar, 3D, GI Joe, The Avengers, 50 Shades of Grey, Angry Birds, and of course, Gangnam Style. Of f*cking course. This trailer is so bad I stubbed my toe, got a papercut, broke the yolk on the egg I was frying and emailed dick pics to my boss. I’m just sad Mel Brooks had to live long enough to see this.
IMDB doesn’t yet list a US distributor, but financing was apparently provided by Film Production Capital, founded by William D. French and Stephen G. Roberts.
BOO THESE MEN!
Lending money to Seltzer-Friedberg should be viewed as a business practice nearly on par with dumping toxic waste in the groundwater.
