Not Another Not Another Movie

Synopsis

Genre: Comedy

Led by an all-star comedy cast of colorful and quirky employees, this film promises to keep viewers rolling in the aisles as they watch the downfall of a movie studio that is willing to do anything to make a buck, even if it means ruining its reputation, and running the entire movie industry into the ground. When Sunshine Studios is faced with making a hit or closing its doors, the company puts everything on the line to make the biggest parody film of all time. With no script, no name, and no idea what they're doing, they set out to make - Not Another Not Another Movie. Following in the footsteps of highly successful audience favorite mockumentaries like: Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, and The Office... Not Another Not Another Movie is the first of its kind to lampoon the parody industry. In this hilarious, non-stop ride, we follow Sunshine Studios, the absolute worst film company on the planet; a studio that produces such wonderful films as Vampires in Mexico 2, Attack of the Bulldozer, and Titanic 2: The Ghost Story.

Chevy Chase and Burt Reynolds to Star in Not Another Not Another Movie

Published on: November 10, 2008

Although comedy is a very subjective thing, I’m sure there are a lot of people out there who would agree that the level of humour in comedies lately has been pretty low. I mean, sometimes it feels like they’re not even trying, and this year alone we had to endure three entries in the now notorious spoof genre: Meet The Spartans, Superhero Movie and Disaster Movie. Does it really have to be like this? Isn’t there anyone else out there who can save us from this dreck that isn’t named Judd Apatow?

Enter indie filmmaker David Murphy, a writer/director who has found the ultimate solution to the problem: a spoof of a spoof. That’s right, this guy is actually in production on Not Another Not Another Movie, a meta-comedy that pokes fun at the endless stream of parody films that have been coming out over the past few years. No joke. (Well, it is a joke, but you know what I mean.) The film stars Chevy Chase as the head of a studio who quits his job, leaving his ex-con brother (Michael Madsen) and his gangster friend (Vinnie Jones) in charge. They decide to make a spoof of spoof movies, with Burt Reynolds playing an actor who plays a director in the film (if that makes any sense, but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t).

With movies like JCVD and My Name is Bruce getting attention for their self-referential humour, it seems that “meta” just might be the new buzzword in Hollywood. But how meta is too meta? If you ask me this is just getting ridiculous, and judging by the cast involved, this will clearly end up being way worse than any of the movies it is trying to lampoon. Just look at Bob Saget’s Farce of the Penguins. Let’s leave the meta movies to self-absorbed intellectuals like Charlie Kaufman… at least they’ve got the creative cojones to try and pull something like this off.

Chevy Chase, Burt Reynolds, Vinnie Jones, Michael Madsen and "Stuttering" John Melendez are spoofing the nonstop flood of spoof films in the upcoming indie comedy "Not Another Not Another Movie."

Chase plays a studio head who quits his floundering company, leaving his ex-con sibling (Madsen) in charge. Soon their equally inept gangster friend (Jones) takes over and assigns a production assistant (David Leo Schultz) to direct a spoof of spoof movies. Reynolds plays an actor playing the director of the chaotic film within the film.

Writer-director David Murphy's "Movie" features cameos from actors playing themselves spoofing their memorable roles, including Richard Tyson (the villian in "Kindergarten Cop") and Wolfgang Bodison (the young African-American Marine on trial in "A Few Good Men"). Ellie Gerber, Tim Piper, Jennifer Sciole and James Duval also star.

The True Fiction Filmz feature is produced by Ron Loudoun, Murphy, Nick Cole, Schultz, Piper and Electra Avalan. Darren VanCleave, Ronald Derrickson, Zach Cole and Sciole are exec producing.

"Not Another Not Another Movie"—How They Broke My Brain

Published on: November 9, 2008

With spoof movies like Epic Movie, Superhero Movie and Disaster Movie so reliably produced every year like the bastard cousin of the Saw franchise, I used to say that it's only a matter of time until they decide to do Spoof Movie. I just didn't think it would actually get made. Furthermore, it's not just a spoof of spoof movies. The spoof of the spoof movies is a movie within a movie, which tells the making of a spoof movie. What?

This idea is either the dumbest thing ever conceived by sub-intelligent beings or a brilliant piece of metafiction conjured up by a divine entity birthed from the synchronized acid trips of Hunter S. Thompson and the ghost of Aristotle.

Titled Not Another Not Another Movie, this indie comedy features names like Chevy Chase, Burt Reynolds, Vinnie Jones, Michael Madsen and "Stuttering" John Melendez, The Hollywood Reporter says. In the movie, Chevy Chase is a studio head who quits his company and leaves it to his ex-con brother Michael Madsen, who then puts gangster Vinnie Jones in charge, who then hires a lowly PA to direct a spoof movie about spoof movies. Burt Reynolds plays an actor who plays the director of a spoof movie.

Somewhere, the space-time continuum weeps in its bath tub.
