Echternkamp and starring Robert Baker and Mark Hamill.[1] Produced by Roger Corman, it made its world premiere at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival.[2] Adjusted for inflation, it is Roger Corman's cheapest film to date. PremiseTwo self-aware characters in a Call of Duty-inspired video game battle endless supplies of Vietcong, absurdly powerful level bosses and their own existential crises. With the help of Mark Hamill's Yoda-like monk, they attempt to win the game and get the girl.[3] ProductionVirtually Heroes evolved from Roger Corman's desire to utilize his extensive library of stock footage to create a modern war film.[4] Since the 1970s, Corman produced over 20 war films with Filipino director Cirio H. Santiago. Writers G.J. Echternkamp and Matt Yamashita drew heavily on Corman's library to write their script, developing a video game world to justify the repurposed stock footage.[5]"I thought if I could find a way to use the big battle scenes from all of these pictures and put it together in a new picture and shoot just a short period of time to tie them all together, I could get a big-looking picture for very little money," Corman said in an interview.[6] Production lasted 14 days, with a budget of $114,000. Because of the low budget, most of the film had to be block-shot. Most of the takes were done only twice. Virtually Heroes was the first film of Roger Corman's (dubbed "the Godfather of Indie Filmmaking") to enter the Sundance Film Festival.[7][8] Reviews of the film were in general not positive.[9][10] Films featuredVirtually Heroes uses footage from the following Corman pictures:
