“From the mind behind the mega-hit Syfy show you’ve probably never heard of (EUREKA) comes a tribute to all those no-budget Syfy original movies and the “so bad, they’re good” films that inspired them. Move over Roger Corman, step back Ed Wood, make way on your weekend programming schedule Mr. Stern, because here comes Andrew Cosby’s 365 DAYS OF SCI-FI.
And it’s all happening here! Each day, your friends at CHUD will bring you a brand new bad movie pitch — the best of the worst title Cosby can come up with, no matter where he’s at or what he’s doing, rain or shine, drunk or sober. That’s a whole year of the quality concepts you’ve come to expect from the network that brought you MANSQUITO and SHARKTOPUS.”
And now… DAY THIRTY-SIX:
“The first script I ever wrote was a time travel story, and despite the fact it got me an agent, it was still a complete nightmare, so I swore I’d never try to tackle another one. But this isn’t really tackling. It’s more like sneaking up from behind and giving a gentle shove.”
– Andy Cosby (Twitter)
“It’s never too late.”
Pitch:
Five ordinary individuals with seemingly nothing in common find they share a very uncommon link — each was miraculously saved by a mysterious phone call. Now, these ordinary people have been given a second chance to live extraordinary lives, changing the fate of others with the direction of an unseen caller claiming to be communicating with them from the future, using their actions in the present to help him build a better tomorrow and stave off some impending global catastrophe.
Nick Says: This is too good and cool for that channel. Especially if you can wrangle Matt Craven, Alfre Woodard, Jason Issacs, Tim Matheson, and Lucy Liu for it.

The other link they share is that they don’t have iPhones, coz those piles of junk can’t even hold calls from across town let alone the future.
“You’re just jealous Bucho.”
Touche.
“But you’re very attractive.”
Thanks Macho Man Randy Savage. Can you take your hand off my knee now please?
!Twist ending! Future Caller is actually using said schmos to TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!! MWA HAHAHA! See, ‘cuz if they had died-ed, he’d be screwed-ed. Oh yeah, and have Norman Reedus be Future Caller (why not?)
Wow. Totally wasted as a movie concept: this is more like one of those series that NBC cancel just as they’re getting good. Casting call: Scott Bakula is the mysterious dude on the phone.
