Jun 8 2009This Guy Needs to Make She-Hulk, and Every Other Movie
Stephen Groo is a Utah-based auteur making films that, in his own words, "explore the genres of fantasy, adventure, love, trust, betrayal, horror, action, faith, comedy, drama, and real life." He also thinks he'd do a pretty good job tackling a She-Hulk movie, so he's made this 8-minute pitch for Marvel. I smell greenlight!
(from Cinematical)
The Hulk always thinks on his feet, and knows better than to bother with 911 emergency services. The only logical course of action was to play the sound of glass shattering to imply he broke into a house, spread his sister out on a futon, use a home blood transfusion kit to give her his blood, and pray to God that "this better work!"
Ready to see Utah Wolf Productions tackle such difficult genres as trust genre, betrayal genre, and real life genre? There's more! So much more that it's sadder than it is funny!

Oh my. That hurts to watch. Then again, not bad for a kid in junior high. (I'm assuming, eesh.)

I'd watch that. Then again - I'd watch TRANSMORPHERS 2: FALL OF MAN! Oh how far Bruce Boxleitner has fallen... Where's the Asylum love IWS Guy? Granted, Wolf is well on its way there - SHE-WATCHER anyone? She could be blue, then they could rip off Marvel and Watchmen in one go! Plus - I'd watch a blue nekkid chick all day long...

This is what happens when you answer ads on Craigslist asking for "Actors for great project! No money now, but a copy of the finished product for your demo reel!"

Finally, a movie that speaks to me in so many levels. Fuck the Academy give this man an Oscar! LOL

Bruce Banner would totally wear that baseball cap.
Perfect costuming to be sure!
16. Pat - June 8, 2009 8:16 PM
That's quite a laundry list of themes there Stephen...
17. Mr. Krinkle - June 8, 2009 8:34 PM
Oh man, this is from the same director as Shikito?! Another instant classic in the making!

You know, I think it'd be better if "He-Hulk" sexually transmitted the "Hulkness" over to "She-Hulk". It's perfect for a movie....she loves him, but hates him for making her what she is as she'll have to buy a whole new wardrobe. And as for the rough sex scenes......

Seriously, I'm going to start a petition to combine iwatchstuff with thesuperficial. After watching this, you honestly bring nothing worthwhile to the trifecta.

You know this guy was at the eye doctor and saw those contacts and just went "well, those are fucking awesome, what movie could i make using those? hmmm...."

I love how easily she changes the conversation from him to herself after he tells him she's the Hulk.

Stephen Groo is B Movie Trailer Genius. One word: Shikito.

Ok I had to write this dude a letter...
and it goes something like this:
Hey there,
Have you ever watched a movie before?
Ok I'm going to break down why your shit sucks.
First and foremost, you have no content. You have an concept with no content. Searching through a drawer to find things with dramatic music playing behind it, as in your She-Hulk trailer, is neither dramatic nor important to a story, so why even film it... Because you have no other actual content to film, that's why.
I mean even if you cut that 8 minute trailer/short down to 2 minutes, which is entirely possible, it would still suck, but at least someone may be able to get through the whole thing. I forced myself to watch the full 8 minutes of it, but could not wait to contact you, so I could tell you how I felt.
Second... Your actors are acting like they are acting. Even natural events like walking and turning around are forced and seem to say to the audience, "Look at me acting like I am acting. See me acting here? This is how I walk when I act. Can you tell the difference?"
Third... wtf is up with the dialog? You can't have a scene were people are driving in a car, and time is passing by and they are having conversation that picks up, like no time has passed. It's just lame. There was not one single line in that whole trailer that was not forced and unnatural feeling.
Now lets get on to the directing, cuz this is the worst part of the whole thing. It's bad enough that you have actors that can't even walk naturally, but when I look at any scene in this short, it is 100% set up. I can see you saying to the actor in the scene where the cop comes in and confronts him about not having any ID, "Ok, Now I want you to sit in this chair that was not here a second ago, and I want you to wait for the cop to come in a talk to you."
No one is relaxed, and if your cousin had just been shot and the paramedics were taking her out of the room, don't you think that you would be following the paramedics to the Ambulance, re-assuring her that everything is going to be ok instead of sitting all awkward like in a chair?
Here is an idea, how about you have the cop talk to David Banner, or whoever he is, while he is reassuring his cousin that she is going to be ok on the way to the paramedics. This will show a bit of action and drama and you don't waste time showing paramedics take a body out of a room. Once again, a scene like that is wasted time and does not even constitute a scene. What it does constitute is that you have no content.
Ok, Good luck there pal and I hope you show me up and make a million bucks!!
If you need any directing tips feel free to ask me for some help.
I'm not a director but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn last night...
Sincerely,
Mike

34. Nero - June 10, 2009 7:17 AM

35. Darth - June 10, 2009 7:24 AM
'Peggie' from 'married with childeren' got a new job?
36. Cainus - June 10, 2009 7:58 PM
That She Hulk must be Asian because she has 4 chins! WOW! What a spectacular piece of crap this is. I seriously believe that the "director" of this must be having fun by making really horrible movie trailers.
I think the original trailer was deleted so here is the link to the company website. Just look for She Hulk and click it.
37. Larrythefatcat - June 11, 2009 1:37 PM
I can do nothing but quote the great 'Shikito':
"Did this really happen?"
...
"Yes"
38. Delgo - June 11, 2009 5:14 PM
Only thing worse than this is Skaar.
39. Tatishina - June 14, 2009 1:56 PM
Seems to be a pretty good rendition of the She-Hulk origin - Doesn't appear to be a pitch to Marvel (since they already have the idea of She-Hulk) - Looks like a group of folks having a good time making a comic-genre specific movie.
Of anything made regarding the She-Hulk, this is the best by far. I'd love to see what he could do with an actual budget instead of 2 dimes and a pair of sticks to rub together.
