Paul Hupfield and Stewart Williams were working at MTV in the UK when they were challenged to come up with the most commercial film title they could think of, and they came up with “Lesbian Vampire Killers.”  Phil Claydon thought the idea was so hilarious he made a movie out of it.  The movie got mostly bad reviews, but now Claydon has been hired to direct another movie.  Why?  Because he made a movie called Lesbian Vampire Killers, of course!  It never gets old!

Conceived as a light-hearted homage to 1980s action thriller such as “Cobra” and “Missing in Action,” “Dan Mintner: Badass for Hire” centers on a tight-jeans-wearing, matchstick-chewing man stuck with an ’80s mentality while kicking some modern-day butt.  The New Line comedy is being produced by Contrafilm’s Beau Flynn and Tripp Vinson with Mason Novick.

“Phil was basically hired off the title alone of his first film,” Flynn quipped.  Added Vinson: “And after actually seeing it, we knew he was the man to kick ass on ‘Dan Mintner.’ Plus, his film had our two favorite things in cinema: vampires and lesbians!” [THR]

Seconds later, Flynn tripped over his shoelaces, Vinson shouted “Play him off, keyboard cat!” and Novick laughed so hard he squirted Yoohoo out his nose.  Good times, good times.
