Hollywood Burn Trailers

Mimicking the hyperbolic rhetoric of today’s copyright cops, Hollywood Burn pits a righteous league of video pirates against the evil tyrant Moses and his Copyright Commandments. Determined to alter the present by changing the past, the pirates travel back to 1955 to construct the ultimate weapon: an Elvis Presley video-clone. Part sci-fi + rom com + biblical epic + action movie, this free-culture manifesto adopts the tactical responses of the parasite, feeding off the body of Hollywood and inhabiting its cinematic structures and codes. The unwitting all-star cast includes Elvis Presley, Charlton Heston, Monkey, Batman, Bette Davis, Jaws, Jesus, The Hulk, The Hoff and the Ghostbusters.

Reviews
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
