The Asylum, the leading source of mockbusters, has a made a bold move, making their own version of Independence Day/ Independence Day: Resurgence to capitalize on this summers release of the second installment of the blockbuster franchise. In fact, I would not be surprised if there is a lawsuit in The Asylum’s near future over Independents’ Day.

We are not sure who directed, who stars or when it will be released. All we can tell you is that in the movie aliens are attacking earth, a woman is president, there’s a bald guy who’s important to the story and there a big alien ships shooting lasers. Oh, and the white house is destroyed, which looks a lot like a scene out of Independence Day. We will let you know when we learn

Back in 2008, Steve Miner remade George A. Romero’s zombie classic Day of the Dead. Now, the film is getting yet another remake, this time with Hector Hernandez in the director’s chair. And production will begin soon, according to Screen Daily. The new version follows a former medical student who is tormented by a dark figure from her past, who happens to be a half-human and half-zombie hellbent on destroying her. To us it sounds more like a reboot than a remake, but we’ll just have to wait and see. I think we can agree that we’ve seen enough remakes and reboots lately. But who knows, maybe this version will be okay.
