The Editor - From The Creators of Manborg

Earlier today ShockTillYouDrop shared this outstanding poster for Adam Brooks and Matthew Kennedy's upcoming giallo-inspired The Edtior. It's glorious.

The film concerns film editor Rey Cisco (played by Adam Brooks), a man who works tirelessly and has four wooden fingers on his right hand.  Stress plagues his life and things take a turn when the body count begins to rise at the studio he works for.  As the description goes, "as this meta-movie build to a frenzied climax, you're forced to question everything you've seen."

Manborg - DVD Review

Manborg
"Nope!"


Director: Steven Kostanski
Writer: Jeremy Gillespie, Steven Kostanski
Stars: Matthew Kennedy, Adam Brooks, Conor Sweeney, Meredith Sweeney, Ludwig Lee
Year: 2011
Running Time: Total after film + short, around 72 minutes.
Studio: Dark Sky Films
Region: 1


Earth finds itself at war with the armies of Hell, led by a sadistic bastard named Count Draculon - like Dracula mixed with Satan, and do I detect a bit of Hitler? After watching his brother die by Draculon's hands (or fangs, more specifically) a soldier (Matthew Kennedy) does what no other man has been brave enough to dare try, he takes on Draculon to avenge his brother's death. This of course immediately backfires within about 4 seconds and he dies a swift and spectacularly violent death.

Cut to the opening credits, where we see him being Robocopped back to life with a variety of junkyard hardware. Shortly after his rebirth (rebooting?) Manborg finds himself imprisoned in a futuristic jail with a few other prisoners:
  • Justice (Conor Sweeney) - Denimed Australian. Dance fanatic.
  • Mina (Meredith Sweeney) -  Justice's hot sister. Isn't Australian. Fights Anime style. Fact: Meredith is Conor's hot sister in in real life as well.
  • #1 Man (Ludwig Lee) - looks like Lui Kang, talks like the guy who does the Dragon Ball Z narration because he's dubbed by the guy who does the Dragon Ball Z narration (Kyle Hebert)
