Sweet lord. Someone actually made a “Mega Man” movie. Do not bother checking your calendar. It is not Friday. I have embedded the official trailer after the break. However, please allow me to prepare you for what you are about to see. Imagine the extinction of the human race. Now picture something 10 times worse than that. Not quite as bad as Rosie O’Donnell, but still pretty bad.
Senior citizens and children look away. Trailer in three, two, one…
Alright, so maybe I am being too hard on the film. It “was made by fans,” which leads me to believe that the budget was extremely limited. I could be wrong, but I hope director Eddie Lebron didn’t spend buckets of cash on those CG versions of Guts Man, Bomb Man and Cut Man. Granted that Mega Man costume does look pretty sweet.
“Mega Man” looks like a Sci Fi original film. You know, one that would air between “Mansquito” and “Supergator.” Though, I suspect that the fan-made flick will only be available on the Internet. I haven’t been able to find a release date, but Lebron’s official site is packed with interesting information. For instance, he also directed “Ghostbusters: Generation,” which featured “Mega Man” star Jun Naito.
Though I have devoted an entire article to ripping his latest film, I have to give Lebron a pat on the back. The guy seems passionate about making films. I might bash a low-budget trailer, but I would never ridicule an individual’s pursuit of his/her dream. Lebron, unlike some directors, seems uninterested in exploiting popular franchises. He might lack Michael-Bay-sized budgets, but he appears to do the best he can with what he is provided. I guess you could call his “Mega Man” film adaptation a labor of love. Hopefully, he isn’t a fan of “Battletoads” or “Vectorman.” My head might explode if I saw an actor in a Pimple costume.
