ABOUT BLANKS ON A BLANK:
Animals and vehicles: they just don't mix. The biggest film of this summer, obviously, will show us the inherent dangers of putting motherf***ing snakes on a motherf***ing plane. But what will be the biggest film of NEXT summer?
To us, the success of SNAKES ON A PLANE is a foregone conclusion. And when any film is a success, sequels are inevitable. But how do you follow up the brilliance of S.O.A.P.? Do you put snakes somewhere else? Do you put a different animal on a plane? The options, of course, are endless, and as we were sitting around a table at a pub talking about all the different possible cinematic combinations, we realized that we really, really, really wanted to see all those movies become a reality. And so we set up the Blanks On A Blank filmmaking challenge, giving the whole world the chance to show us the future of animal/vehicle disaster films.
As soon as we receive movies we will post them to our website where people all over the planet can check out the films and vote for which ones they like the best and which ones are just incredibly lame.
There will be cash prizes for the best three films as well as other prizes, which will be announced in the coming weeks.
