from Pandora Machine:
Clone Hunter, the much anticipated science fiction thriller from Pandora Machine, will be released nationwide on DVD by Lifesize Entertainment on August 10, 2010. Clone Hunter is the fifth sci-fi feature from New York based production house, Pandora Machine. The company has been building a loyal audience over the past several years with titles like Solar Vengeance and Millennium Crisis. Clone Hunter stars Ben Thomas, Angela Funk, and 2009 ITA Nominee David Ian Lee.
“LIVING FOREVER TAKES LESS TIME THAN YOU THINK!”
Pandora Machine has relied on the time tested formula of sharp screenplays and strong acting to create entertaining sci fi films. “Clone Hunter is a fun film that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Like most of our work, it is in the spirit of the late 70’s and early 80’s Roger Corman ‘paceploitation’ films,” said director Andrew Bellware. The script was written by UK scribe Eric Ian Steele. Many of the visual effects in Clone Hunter were crafted using the open souce animation program Blender.
“HEY WE’RE GUNS FOR HIRE, BUT WHAT ABOUT THEIR SOULS?”
What happens if the artificial intelligence that enables the wealthy and powerful to live in limitless luxury wants to share in it? Ben Cain and his junior partner, Rachel, are hired by Gulliver, a brutal Oligarch, to track down a murderous clone that threatens the stability of Gulliver’s private planet. The more Ben and Rachel delve into the case the more corruption and rot they discover, until they come face to face with their own darkest secrets and must decide which side they are on.
“Clone Hunter is the kind of entertaining movie that Hollywood seems to have forgotten how to make,” said Lifesize Entertainment President Bruce Frigeri. “It values story over spectacle and character over cliché in a way that audiences will love. We’re delighted to be distributing this film.”

This film is really a lot of fun. It shows that a good film can still be made without a huge budget–as long as you have talented actors, a creative director and a strong script. The bummer is that Netflix has not made the film available for rent. Blockbuster OnLine has, but if you are a netflix subscriber, let them know that their decision sucks and is unfair to indie films!
Thanks for letting us know about Clone Hunter. I’ll definitely be looking for it. 🙂
