This is the trailer for Skyline, a $10 million independent film directed by the Strause Brothers, who shot much of it in their condo but also have the benefit of owning an effects company that does work on big-budget films. It appears to be about an invasion of aliens who get super pissed when they catch you checking out their headlights and vaccuum you up — a penchant for vacuuming being a trait common to aliens both illegal and outer space. Anyway, it promises to be a real human drama, by which I mean the characters are always saying things like, “GET OUT OF THERE!”, “RUN!”, and “EXPOSIIITIOOOOON!!!” (*shakes fist at sky*)
A few of my favorite TubeChop moments after the jump.

Eric Balfour and Sarah Jessica Parker could have children that would keep Budweiser commercials cast for the next 80 years.
This looks like Independence Day, only more realistic
I hate this shit for a whole ‘nuva reason: the explosions tached out my shitty speakers.
But the tentacles are HAWT.
Have Chris Klein and Eric Balfour ever been at the same place at the same time?
Also, Grrr helicopter tentacle rape.
I saw the “Skyline” title and fully expected to see Walker and Diesel discussing the finer points of import racing. But alas, no such luck.
This has to be filmed in Miami because the fat cop from Dexter appears in everything that’s set in Miami.
It’s too bad they couldn’t shoot this film in wide screen format on account of Eric Balfour’s head
If Eric Balfour keeps screaming like that, he’ll end up quite
*blinders*
…horse.
NNNEEEEIIIIIGGGGGHHHHHH
(Second clip)
Spotlight hunting for KISS army members is a favorite sport of the aliens. I’m willing to bet that the aliens also like Skoal, hate gays.
How are you gonna have a token black guy and not have him say “AW HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLL NO”? Looks like someone slept through Intro to Screenwriting 101
Oh, hey, is that the guy from Haven?
Don’t judge me. I watch it while I do cardio.
At least the trailer didn’t give away the mundane everyday substance that ends up being the aliens’ Achilles Heel. Based on all the buff young ironic hipsters in the trailer, I’m thinking it’s something like transsaturated fat.
1. My speakers didn’t like the clips, either.
MIZ, clearly the movie IS about the GTR – it’s got wicked HIDs.
JJ Abrams watches ID4, remembers he has dozens of rejected creature designs from Cloverfield, decides Roland Emmerich ain’t got shit.
