One of the most memorable parts of Annie is when Daddy Warbucks takes her to the movies. In the 1982 version of Annie, which is set in the early '30s, Annie sees the classic Camille starring Greta Garbo and Robert Taylor. In the 2014 update, in theaters this weekend, Annie gets to see a movie called MoonQuake Lake.
What in the world is MoonQuake Lake? Well, it's a fake movie (unlike the very real Camille) and it stars real-life couple Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, among others. According to its equally-as-fake credits, it was directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller (The Lego Movie, 22 Jump Street) and based on this trailer it's kinda like if James Cameron's Avatar and Twilight had a baby, it would look something like this.
There's a longer version of MoonQuake Lake in Annie, and it's one of the funnier moments in the film. When we congratulated Lord and Miller on the blossoming fake franchise, here's how they responded:
@ErikDavis @mikeryan @philiplord We are very proud of our epic fantasy action romance lunar aquatic drama.

And so you should be, boys. It's most definitely one of a kind.
