Eddegg.com: Bedknobs And Broomsticks 2 Trailer
Not likely to fool anyone, but only because they're more interested in being hilarious. Enjoy the Monty Python-like voicevoer.
Bloody Disgusting: Tim Burton Re-imagining Little Shop of Horrors
BR does a great job of making their story convincing by wrapping the story inside a legitimate rant about Tim Burton's disappointing career path. They also include lots of great little details, like a hilarious fake quote from Johnny Depp, and the idea that the whole thing will be stop-motion.
Giant Freakin Robot: Eddie Murphy To Replace Michael Jackson As Captain EO
If Disney really were turn Captain EO into a feature film, Eddie Murphy kind of makes sense. It's EO as a movie that seems like utter April Fool's madness.
Den of Geek: Zac Efron To Remake Rocky IV
The best thing about this incredibly nightmarish scenario is that they aren't just remaking Rocky, just the fourth installment. The team-up of Joel Schumacher and Efron is too horrible for words, but turning Apollo Creed into a white lady possibly played by Hilary Swank pushes it over the edge.
ThinkGeek: Own Your Own Monolith Action Figure!
ThinkGeek puts a whole host of fake products up for sale every April Fool's day. This year my favorite is a 2001: A Space Odyssey action figure crafted in the likeness of the monolith. Watch it... sit there ominously.
FilmSchoolRejects: 80s Stories!
FSR has gone through a lot of trouble for their awesome prank, populating their entire website with nothing but 80s stories. Harold Ramis, Ray Harrhausen, and Mel Brooks are newsworthy again!
JoBlo: Jason Reitman And George Clooney Remaking Vertigo
If it weren't April 1st, this story might seem credible. But JoBlo offers no source for the story and the time stamp reads April 1. That makes this a creatively credible seeming hoax.
JoBlo: Edgar Wright Teams Up With Pixar For Astonishing Ant Man
This one will fool a lot of people, since at one point Wright really was supposed to be doing Ant Man. But JoBlo claims the info comes from a press release sent out this morning, even though the story was posted in the middle of the night. We're not buying it guys!
IESB: Depp To Join Burton For Mister Rogers Film
Theyve even gone through the trouble to photoshop Johnny into a sensible, red, zip-up Mr. Rogers sweater.
IESB: Eddie Murphy To Star In Leonard Reboot
The way Eddie Murphys career has been going lately, this seems totally believable. Hell do anything. In this case, hes not really remaking Bill Cosbys failed spy comedy, but nobody would be surprised if this prank accidentally comes true.
IESB: Robert Rodriguez Rebooting Terminator Franchise!
Hes already rebooting one Schwarzenegger franchise with Predators, so this one almost makes sense. But dont worry, after what McG did to Terminator in Salvation, this is one franchise Hollywoods leaving alone.
IESB: Hugh Laurie As J. Jonah Jameson In The Spider-Man Reboot
I know it's a prank but, seriously, I could see that. Hey Marc Webb, if you're not bringing J.K. Simmons back, why not make this prank a reality?
