This is the best summary I could come up with:
The script was inspired by blockbusters such as Weird Science and Bruce Almighty, with a teen comedy vibe reminiscent of Steven Spielberg’s Amblin films, Lynch says.
“A kid playing God leads to some big, weird scenes – super-insane versions of his school and family, with really cool visuals.”
“I was raked over the coals when it was announced … they didn’t reveal the story, so people figured it was a cash grab, I suppose,” says Lynch.
But it was intended to be full of references that fans would enjoy, with Lynch flying to EA’s headquarters in California to work with the team on the film.
The recurring characters, expansion packs, intricate family trees, missing persons and aliens make up a sprawling multiverse of timelines and subplots.
“I thought it would be kind of like The Fast and the Furious, but with Scott Pilgrimesque snowboarding sequences and the greatest soundtrack of all time … Someone should call me on that one.
