The first title below is Anacondas: The Offspring and I didn&#039;t even know it was being made. IMDb says David Hasselhoff and John Rhys-Davies are in it and it is part of the Anacondas franchise. It is sure to be a direct-to-DVD release. Same goes for Pulse 2 which actually stars &#034;Battlestar Galactica&#034; favorite Jamie [...]]]></description>

This one looks like it takes Marie Antoinette and The Other Boleyn Girl, plays a little bit of role reversal as everyone runs around with wigs on.
