  • JANE AUSTEN’S “FIGHT CLUB”

    27 Jul 2010 by Seth Rotherham in Book & DVD Reviews, Movie Reviews, Quality Humour, Very Cool, Video

    The original Fight Club with Brad Pitt is on a lot of people’s “Top 10 favourite movies” lists. It’s exciting , it’s scandalous and, for the ladies, one might even deem it sexy. This is exactly what Jane Austen has offered with the upcoming film, “Jane Austen’s Fight Club” which witnesses the uprising of illegal organised brawls amongst the women of the day – somewhere in the 1800’s.

    Yes, of course this is absolute kak. It is what we call a “spoof” movie trailer and it has been viewed over 200,000 times already. This is slightly less than the video we made that time for Randall Abrahams and IDOLS, but can definitely still be called “viral.”

    Let’s see what The Telegraph had to say about it:

    A spoof film trailer, Jane Austen’s Fight Club, has gone viral, gaining nearly 200,000 hits on YouTube in just two days.

    The video shows Lizzie Bennett and other Austen characters – including Emma and the Dashwoods – setting up an underground boxing club, in manner of the cult David Fincher film Fight Club. Lizzie plays the role of Brad Pitt’s character Tyler Durden: “The first rule of Fight Club is, one never mentions Fight Club”.

    The society ladies engage in fights on a croquet lawn and sit bleeding during high tea.

    It is not the first ‘mashup’ of either Jane Austen’s work or Fight Club. Recently, a book called “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies” imagined what would happen if events in the Regency-era novel had been interrupted by an attack of the undead.

    And a Funny or Die video called Ferris Club re-set the 1980s teen movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off with Ferris as Tyler and the hapless Cameron as Ed Norton’s unnamed narrator, claiming to see the real psychological truth behind the John Hughes classic. “Cameron is not a beautiful and unique snowflake”, it warns.
