Michigan Born filmmakers New Release Promises Surprising Twist on the Parody Movie Genre

The greatest movies of all time never saw this coming

Hollywood,CA., September 6, 2010 - Michigan born filmmaker Charles Dewandeler has just released his first feature film 'Parody Movie' to widespread critical acclaim. Mr. Dewandeler, who currently lives in Los Angeles, returned to his home town of Detroit last year to shoot the feature film. He then returned to Los Angeles where he worked on post production for six months to add in visually stunning special effects and additional digital remastering that will delight sci-fi, Indy movie and comic book fans alike.

Parody Movie is a comedy about David (played by David Legato) who decides he wants to be a film director. So he begins shooting short films with his friends and posting them on YouTube. David quickly learns that he has no directing or filmmaking skills and hilarity ensues. "We're spoofing the people who do the spoofing," said Legato, "So we're taking the term 'parody' to a whole new level with this movie." This film also includes parodies of some of the greatest films of all time including Superman, Batman, Star Wars, Star Trek, Harry Potter and more.

Dewandeler decided to film the movie in his hometown of Detroit before all the cast was in place. "David Legato and Curt Green came in and read together at the audition and I knew instantly I wanted them to play the lead roles," said Dewandeler who hopes that this film will help his actors get 'discovered.' "I showed the first cut to a few industry friends of mine and they enjoyed the actors and their chemistry together."

The Legato/Green chemistry works because the two are actually friends in real life. "Our relationship on screen is very similar to our friendship off screen," said Legato, "so the chemistry was very natural." "I had a lot of fun playing me because I can't really act all that great," said co-star Curt Green, "The most difficult part was dragging Legato to the set every day in his hung over stooper."
