Who Needs INDIANA JONES When You've Got ALLAN QUATERMAIN?

Well, I do, for one. But hey ... a trip over to Cinematical this evening pointed out the new trailer from The Asylum's blatant Indiana Jones knock off, Allan Quatermain And The Temple of Skulls. Now, The Asylum are the company that specializes in nothing but straight to video low budget knock offs of major Hollywood blockbusters, which would normally not place them real high up on my list of companies to watch but they're just so damn gleeful about what they do, so content to tap into b-movie pulp that it's hard to resist entirely and they do actually turn out a good film from time to time. Not that I think this will be one of them, but it does look bad in an entertaining way.

Looking even more entertaining? Their upcoming War of the Worlds 2, which has no direct connection to anything about to hit theaters - a rare break from normal Asylum marketing practices - but which may well be timed to cash in on the upcoming final season of Battlestar Galactica. You'll find trailers for both of these below the break in the Twitch Player.

"From the story that inspired INDIANA JONES"

When people are this shameless I can't help but sort of admire them...

I love how the WOTW2 trailer introduces what appears to be the main character/hero/protagonist/C. Thomas Howell look alike, only to show him getting vaporized at the end of the trailer... wait what? That IS C. Thomas Howell?? LMAO!

IMDB has him listed as the director! Sweet...
