The film scene in Turkey is expanding so quickly it’s just scary. Turkish arthouse film has been carving out a solid reputation for a few years now thanks to the likes of Akin and Ceylan but Turkey - notoriously - produces more than its share of pulp as well. And the undisputed champion of populist film? Without a doubt it’s hugely popular comedian Cem Yilmaz who had a massive international hit with his Mel Brooks style scifi comedy G.O.R.A. a few years back. And now Yilmaz is back with A.R.O.G., a sequel to his earlier film that inverts the entire premise. No future space battles for his hero this time out, no - this time they’re going back in time and the results look hilarious.
We posted a three minute sequence from the film a while back and now a quarter of teasers from the picture have arrived.

Why, yes, I AM posting this purely as an excuse to bring back the earlier three minute reel from A.R.O.G., the sequel to hugely successful Turkish scifi comedy G.O.R.A. And why not? It’s the best fun I’ve had in three minutes for ... well, I’ll leave that sentence unfinished, I think. Anyway, there’s a behind the scenes reel available now detailing how exactly they made those fantastic three minutes and both the clip itself and the behind the scenes are available below the break.
Assuming they’re on schedule, the film is now deep into production, so expect new material soon ...
