Baton down the hatches, there be Pixel Pirates in them waters!
Soda_Jerk is a team of Aussie remix artists who have collaborated with another dude to create a remixed movie, Pixel Pirate II: Attack of the Astro Elvis Video Clone. As their website explains, this is “an hour long narrative remix video constructed from samples pirated from over 300 film and music sources.” They know that this doesn’t exactly comport with copyright laws, so they’ve incorporated the issue of “copyright tyranny” into the flick. “So one of the main intentions with ‘Pixel Priate II’ was to create a critique of copyright law that operates on the level of both form and content.” But more importantly, they just want folks to be entertained by the flick, and how can you not be entertained by a “sci-fi, biblical epic, action movie and cheesy romance where Elvis gives the finest performance of his film career?”
Here are two different trailers for the movie, which premieres in Australia later this month and will likely remain unaired in the United States, and available (if at all) only through bittorrent-type channels.
