If you’ve seen five minutes of any of their movies (Meet the Spartans, Disaster Movie, Epic Movie), you know that without a doubt, Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg are two of the finest satirists ever to live. The way they skewer societal paradigms with Paris Hilton impersonators getting hit by cars and Lady Gaga slipping on a banana peel… (*kisses fingertips*) magnifique. Acclaimed film critic Armond White once said of the duo, “they stand so lonely on pop-culture’s fringe that their a la carte recidivism seems absolutely contre-jour when compared to the ersatz Hollywood j ne sais quois.”
Well sadly, it seems those two national treasures may not receive the compensation they so richly deserve for their upcoming masterpiece “Vampires Suck.” According to a new report, it has been downloaded illegally 100,000 times.
An unfinished copy of “Vampires Suck,” Fox’s the hotly anticipated [!!!] parody of “Twilight”, has now been downloaded more than 100,000 times since its leak more than a month ago, according to TorrentFreak.
Now faced with another major leak, Fox’s legal department has quietly become more aggressive, sending takedown requests to torrent sites and Google. They likely want to avoid the fate of the 2004 parody film “Soul Plane,” [!!!] which prompted an FBI investigation after pirated copies flooded the black market weeks before its release.
“Soul Plane” was cited as one of the first Hollywood films to be impacted by digital piracy [the horror!]. Will pirates suck the life out of “Vampires Suck?” [LORD GOD I HOPE NOT!] Fox is publicly downplaying down the leak [DERP!], saying the incident occurred a month ago and there isn’t anything new to report. [Yahoo/THR]
That’s depressing. Not the piracy, the fact that 100,000 people actually wanted to see Vampires Suck. Illegally downloading a Seltzer-Freebird movie is like stealing a Susan Boyle sex tape.

like stealing Susan Boyle’s sex tape
And He ain’t givin’ it back, Lince!
The Armond White experiment of paying authors by the french word has failed miserably.
Oh, By Kahless Krab Krusted, Jock-Rot Ladened Fruit of the Looms! What kind of freaks are we going to get in here now?
SUSAN BOYLE UPSKIRT NIP SLIP HARDCORE XXX DOG FUCKING SEX TAPE PICS!!!
“Soul Plane,” [!!!] which prompted an FBI investigation after pirated copies flooded the black market weeks before its release.
Black market? C’mon, Black people aren’t the only ones that bootleg.
Soul Plane flooded the black market.
Will pirates suck the life out of “Vampires Suck?”
Well, if they don’t, the ninjas and vikings will!
Soul Plane flooded the black market.
Moose, you spelled “Hurricane Katrina” wrong.
Will pirates suck the life out of “Vampires Suck?”
Only the ones played by Orlando Bloom!
Call me a purist, but I won’t even look at the HD clips on Hulu. Hell no, I’m going straight from work at Fun Dots to see this tonight.
*crosses fingers for Justin Bieber jokes*
I’m thinking this is all bull and is just to have an excuse once this load of crap bombs…If this movie makes more then Scott Pilgrim thou I will literally shit on my dogs face.
Will pirates suck the life out of “Vampires Suck?”
/b/tards suck the life out of everything they touch.
Bullshit. This is the same company that released Wolverine. Obviously, whenever Fox has expectations of failure for a movie, they leak it themselves, bitch about everybody stealing it, then explain the piss-poor box office on the “100,000 illegal downloads”.
I don’t know about this one. How do I know what to expect if it doesn’t say “Movie” in the title. All they’re giving me is the guarantee that it will suck.
Read with a “?” where it should be.
Fox is publicly downplaying down the leak
Looks like somebody has down syndrome.
Seltzer and FriedBerger sounds like somthing Joaquin Pheonix finds on his tidy whiteys after a night of drinking and puking…it definetley should not be something directing a movie
I heard they had to do all of Chris Kattan’s scenes with CGI after his passing.
Don’t those two have some sort of fatal disease yet? Is there something we can do about that?
All 100,000 downloads came from an idiot scalper trying to get his hands on all the free online copies so he can sell them at a moderate profit.
Fox’s legal department
Fuck, that’s offensive. I thought “special needs assisted living” was the PC term.
Upon hearing this news, S&F quickly shoehorned a “torrent user gets hit in crotch” scene into their script for “Avatarded”.
You spelled “magnifique” wrong, retard.
Dude, the preferred nomenclature is, “Soul Plane flooded the urban market.”
Whys the markets gots ta be black?
