(HOLLYWOOD, CA) — X-Play’s planned 3D mega parody production of the Wizard of Oz is in jeopardy due to another company’s quick plans to put out a cheap version of the classic 1939 MGM movie and beat X-Play’s release date.
“I guess there is no honor among pseudo thieves,” remarked director will Ryder who has spent months in preproduction working with co-producer Scott David on everything from costumes, set design and music.
The planned $200,000 3D production would be the biggest movie that X-Play has ever undertaken prompting Ryder to lament the potential loss of cash already spent and the loss of what would have become an iconic classic adult movie the likes of which has rarely if ever before been seen.
“If a bandwagon parody company pretty much tells me there is nothing they can do and continues with their recent plans to shoot an inexpensive $15,000 version of the Wizard of Oz and rip off unsuspecting consumers with a glossy box cover and full page advertising I guess that is their right to do so but I have zero respect for them,” Ryder stated.
When asked what company he was referring to, Ryder declined to comment merely stating there will be plenty of time to let the world know who it is. Apparently the director has talked to a high level company official with no results and even left voicemails for the movie’s producer and director requesting a call back of which there have been none.
“Parody by the very nature is taking somebody’s work and embellishing on it and creating something new. These guys are simply playing with no rules, no respect,” Ryder offered.
“The sad part is that they will make such an inferior version to what we have been planning that Judy Garland and the flying monkeys might role over in their graves.”
Another producer who requested to remain anonymous stated, “Yeah these guys will most likely use shitty Halloween type costumes so it will just make X-Play’s production look so much better.”
However, Ryder who announced his Oz plans last year knows how hard it is to sell movies these days and concedes it will be difficult to sell once an inferior production is released. When adult movie distributors and stores purchase this lesser cheap version it limits the chances of X-Play to sell their incredible version so the entire production is now in jeopardy.
“I’m mad as hell and extremely pissed off and would hope they would respect the industry and respect what X-Play has accomplished as a modern parody pioneer to move onto a different project.” Ryder concluded.
Time will tell but the consumer could be the biggest loser.
