The reactions of movie viewers probably say it all.
"Animal what? I haven't heard of that one."
"The Man with what? Beats me."
Despite entering a week of buzz voting, the advertising for Mad Dog's action film The Man With Animal Powers is non-existent. What is the film about? Who is playing what roles? Isn't it the duty of the producer and/or the studio to let us know?
One theory proposed to this reporter is that it's a blatant rip-off of the 80's television show Manimal that appeared briefly on NBC. That show centered on the character Dr. Jonathan Chase (Simon MacCorkindale), a shape-shifting man who possessed the ability to turn himself into any animal he chose. He used the ability to help the police solve crimes.
Questions to Amyland Studios have been unanswered as of this writing.
"I guess they just want poor buzz for the film," surmised a local movie fan. "I think the press has mentioned the movie more than ALS. Crazy, huh."
The Man With Animal Powers is scheduled to open next Friday.
