EPIC MOVIE
Cast: Jennifer Coolidge, Kal Penn, Adam Campbell, Jayma Mays, Tony Cox
Synopsis: EPIC MOVIE is big. Really big. It’s a movie of, well, epic proportions. We know…because we measured. The story centers on four not-so-young orphans: one reared by a curator at the Louvre (where an albino assassin lurks); another, a refugee from Mexican “libre” wrestling; the third a recent victim of snakes on her plane; and the fourth a “normal” resident of a mutant “X”-community. The hapless quartet visits a chocolate factory, where they stumble into an enchanted wardrobe that transports them to the land of Gnarnia (with a silent “G”). There they meet a flamboyant pirate captain and earnest students of wizardry – and join forces with, among others, a wise-but-horny lion to defeat the evil White Bitch of Gnarnia. EPIC MOVIE comes from the new masters of the parody genre – Jason Friedberg & Aaron Seltzer – who now set their parodic sights on the largest genre of them all: Hollywood’s big-budget, special effects-laden, blockbuster franchise films. After successfully skewering the scary movie and romantic comedy franchises as two of the six writers of “Scary Movie,” and as the writers/director of “Date Movie,” the duo now focus on this untapped niche – Hollywood’s summer and fall tentpoles - proving once again that they are proud of being “first to be second.” For the last thirty years, from “Airplane” to “Hot Shots” to “Scary Movie,” parodic comedies have focused on specific movie genres. With the studios’ ongoing deluge of summer and holiday blockbusters becoming the norm, writers/directors Jason Friedberg & Aaron Seltzer felt the time was ripe to expand the scope of genre parodies to include recent action films, comic book films, and children’s fantasy films. The idea for the film came to Friedberg and Seltzer while they were making “Date Movie” with producer Paul Schiff. “We had so much fun making that movie we didn’t want to stop, so we came up with another one,” says Schiff. “We were just brainstorming and talking about targets of opportunities ripe for parodies.” Friedberg and Seltzer decided to build the framework for the film around the general plot of “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.” Thus was born the characters of Edward, Peter, Susan and Lucy – four unrelated orphans in search of their homes, who are magically transported into the fantasy world of Gnarnia (“with a G, like Gnarly”), where they meet The White Bitch (Jennifer Coolidge), and her team of assistants and assassins. Along the way they meet numerous incarnations of characters from recent tentpole films. “We just like these movies and thought they’d be great movies to ridicule,” says Aaron Seltzer. “Like ‘The Da Vinci Code’ and ‘Superman’ and ‘X-Men’ and ‘Nacho Libre.’ It just seemed like fun to parody them all, using ‘Narnia’ as the broad outline, and then it just stemmed from there.”

The FBI, sensing a chance to use this small-time con to bring down big-target Sparazza, places Aces into protective custody-under the supervision of two agents (Reynolds and Liotta) dispatched to Aces' Lake Tahoe hideout. When word of the price on Aces' head spreads into the community of ex-cons and cons-to-be, it entices bounty hunters, thugs-for-hire, smokin' hot vixens and double-crossing mobsters to join in the hunt. With all eyes on Tahoe, this rogues' gallery collides in a comic race to hit the jackpot and rub out Aces.
