If the first Dimension Films’ trailer for Scary Movie 5 is indicative for what’s to come, the audiences might throw tomatoes at the screens. The first trailer for the horror comedy spoof has been released, but it doesn’t show much funny promise.
The trailer displays the movie’s unfunny acting and over-the-top comedy which looks as though it missed the mark this time around. The trailer also featured a few no name new actors along with cameos from big names including Charlie Sheen, Lindsay Lohan and Katt Williams, but it still seems to have failed.
Scary Movie 5 spoofs Paranormal Activity, Black Swan, Inception, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and 127 Hours. The plot of the centers around “three dancers, one veteran performer and two upstarts who are also best friends, vying for the lead in a new production from a snooty, aloof, imperious, and oversexed director”(IMDB).
Dimension Films may want to release a few more trailers which features better content then this, or they may be in deep trouble at the box office. Scary Movie 5 is slated to hit screens April 12, 2013. Trailer below:
Democracy needs journalism it can trust.
This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.
For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.
Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.
We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.
If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
