Turn 300 Dollars Into Millions

I am a big fan of the movie District 9. The District 9 movie has an engaging story line, good acting and of course Peter Jackson’s impeccable directing. I’ve always been a dork when it comes to good sci-fi movies and it’s cool when someone with limited resources makes a film which leaves you wanting more.
An unknown producer from Uruguay, Fede Alvarez, shelled out about $300 to create a cool video of a robot invasion in Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay. The four-minute short, “Ataque de Panico!” (Panic Attack) features ginormous (but slow-moving) weapon-wielding robots that blow stuff up.
Well, apparently nothing gets by Hollywood these days. The lucky duck told the BBC, “I uploaded ‘Ataque de Panico!’ on a Thursday and on Monday my inbox was totally full of emails from Hollywood studios.” Long story short, a bidding war ensued. The offer he pocketed: A $30 million deal with Sam “Spiderman” Raimi’s Ghost House Pictures. That’s a nice return on investment.

If you are sci-fi fan, or just a fan of good movies check out a few of my favorites. Rent the movie with your girlfriend, boyfriend, Mistress, school teacher, pool boy, local MILF, or your dog because these some scary ass films and you might get laid. Leave the dog alone you sick bastard!
