Alien Trespass: the Mockumentary

The producers of Alien Trespass (which we've been featuring, here and on Undead Backbrain, for some time) have just released the following promotional documentary, which riffs on the marketing milieu of the 1950s B-flick genre that the film itself seeks to replicate. Quite funny, actually.

Psst! You After an Alien?

Well, just in case, below are a couple of lobby cards for ex-X-Files producer R.W. Goodwin's Alien Trespass -- the 1950s sci-fi pastiche we've been talking about here for a while. They give you a good look at the one-eyed alien -- and Robert Patrick, intent on being a small-town sheriff instead of an FBI agent or Terminator.

New: Alien Trespass

Making movies in the style of 1950s schlock scifi flicks seems to have become something of a fad! Alien Trespass (US-2009; dir. R.W. Goodwin) is just such a project and the world premiere is taking place at the Palm Springs International Film Festival on January 10 and 11.

Below is the newly released poster (click to see it larger).

The film stars Eric McCormack, Jenni Baird, Dan Lauria and Robert Patrick (ex-Terminator and late substitute Fox Mulder).




Synopsis:
Set in 1957, a fiery object from space hurtles into a California desert mountaintop. A murderous creature — the Ghota, bent on destroying all life forms on the planet — escapes from the flying saucer. A benevolent alien, Urp, inhabits the body of Ted Lewis (Eric McCormack), a local astronomer, and with the help of Tammy, a waitress from the local diner, sets out to save mankind. (Palm Springs Festival website)
Looks like fun (and rather like a humorous, non-Viking version of Outlander)!
