NEWS Associated Press: Plans of the progression of Harmony Gold's Robotech: Live Action Movie project has just been released. To save on costs, Harmony Gold has acquired International Marketing Rights from Azamatov Movie Production Company for the video footage to George Lucas's Star Wars: A New Hope. Harmony Gold discovered that Azamatov Movie Production Company was in possession of the rights based on a little known contract signed by Lucasfilm and Azamatov MPC back in 1989, when Azamatov Movie Production Company managed to secure the license to distribute Star Wars: A New Hope in Kazahstan for the first time (the movie was previously not allowed to be screened or sold under the former Communist regime). The contract apparently granted "Sole, international distribution rights" to Azamatov Movie Production Company, and Harmony Gold was able to acquire those rights from Azamatov MPC "for a bag of red pubic hair contributed by one of our staff," according to Tommy Yune.
"We're thrilled," stated Frank Agrapa, "and we've already notified Warner Bros. that we won't be needing them after all. We're going back to our tried and true modus operandi. After all, Robotech was put together by using footage from previously existing anime, so why should the Live Action Movie be any different?"
Already, plot titbits have been revealed - for example the following scene should ring some bells:
Dark Haydonite: Scott never told you what happened to Rick Hunter...
Duke Protoculture: He told me enough! He told me you killed him!
Dark Haydonite: No...I AM Rick Hunter!
Duke Protoculture: No!...That's not possible...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Harmony Gold plans to dub over the original Star Wars movie after figuring out "how to fit it into existing Robotech cannon" after which the movie will be sleighted for release in early Feburary of 2010. Sadly, Harmony Gold has not acquired the rights to use any other Star Wars movies. Lucasfilm, meanwhile, has been totally surprised by the event. "Hasbro has already recieved a cease and decist order in term sof producing Star Wars toys, with Harmony Gold claiming exclusive merchandising rights, since Azamatov Productions owned ALL of Star Wars and transfered that ownership to them.
The Robotech: A New Hope, will be shown in Kazahstan under the banner of Azamatov productions, who have retained Kazah production rights to the film.
As to future films, Frank Agrama of Harmony Gold said: "The future of this business is clear. We're not going to make the same mistake as we made with Shadow Chronicles. Our initial sucess with Robotech came through us cobbling together three seperate films and then effectively stealing the international rights to it. The problem with Shadow Chronicles is that we tried to make something ourselves - something original. That is hard. That takes work, money and imagination. We'll never try that again. Having acquired the rights to dub over Star Wars: A New Hope, we are now moving aggressively to acquire other live action sci-fi movies from third world backwater semi-legal entities. Our point man in the endeavor is Borat Sagadievev, who has wide international experience and is one of the stars of Azamatov Productions. We're please to be working with them, and are actively shaving our pubic hair on a regular basis to make the necessary payments." no fucking wonder it's taking so long! they're going to make it fucking epic!!!! | |
