The Hillywood Show is a channel on YouTube started by sisters Hillary (Hilly) and Hannah Hindi. They create and produce parody videos of various movies and television shows. Launched in 2006, it has over 1 million subscribers and 200 million views.

History

[edit]

Hilly and Hannah Hindi were born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada, but their family eventually settled in Henderson, Nevada. The sisters were home schooled and had no theater training, but did obtain a large amount of dance experience. Hannah taught dance for over ten years.[2] Despite that, at the age of thirteen Hilly won an acting contest sponsored by AOL. Her prize was a trip to New Zealand, where she interviewed the cast of The Lord of the Rings, including her favorite director, Peter Jackson.[3]

In 2006, she entered AOL's Be A Red Star contest.[4] A fan of Johnny Depp, she decided to do impressions of several characters he had portrayed, such as Edward Scissorhands and Jack Sparrow. She convinced Hannah to direct. Hilly did not win, but did place third out of almost 100,000 entries.[2] Due to positive feedback she decided to continue making videos with her sister. The first one, her AOL contest entry, debuted on the eponymously named The Hillywood Show on December 1, 2006.[3][5]

After seeing the first Twilight movie, they decided to do a parody of it. This greatly increased their channel's popularity, since before then their most seen video had 50,000 views after almost a year, but the Twilight parody received over 100,000 views in one day.[2] They did parodies of the subsequent films, with the budget increasing for each. The first Twilight parody cost about $1,200, the New Moon parody about $10,000 and the Eclipse parody over $20,000. This was in part due to their filming on location in Washington to replicate the look of the original films as much as possible.[2] Their Breaking Dawn, Part 1 parody eventually reached over 32 million views.[6]

Branching out

[edit]

Up to this point, the sisters had only done movie parodies. However, between the Eclipse and Breaking Dawn parodies, they decided to try making one based on a television show. Since their funds were low at the time, they thought it would be cheaper to do while still generating regular content for the channel. They settled on The Vampire Diaries, using Lady Gaga's song "Teeth".[7] Since they were spending less money, they chose to make the tone more light-hearted then their previous works. After it's debut, it was seen by Nina Dobrev and executive producer Julie Plec. Both liked and retweeted it, and Dobrev went so far as to show it to various cast members, including Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder. The two commented on how impressed they were, especially how the sisters got all the "little nuances".[8][9]

In 2012, they did a Hunger Games parody which was co-produced by Twilight star Peter Facinelli's company Facinelli films.[10][11] The following year they made a Warm Bodies parody, and were able to get the actual costumes worn by Nicholas Hoult and Teresa Palmer in the movie for their leads.[12] They also revisited their roots, with Hilly reprising Jack Sparrow in a Pirates of the Caribbean parody using Adam Lambert's song "If I Had You". After seeing it, Lambert retweeted the video, saying it was "so cute".[13]

Doctor Who, Supernatural and Sherlock

[edit]

The Hillywood Show entered into partnership with Nerdist Industries in 2014. This allowed them increased funding and distribution for their work. Their first effort together was a Doctor Who parody, done to "The Time Warp" from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. When asked at a convention later if he had seen it, David Tennant said he had and called it "extraordinary".[14][15][16] The same year, the sisters did a parody of The Walking Dead to Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust". They filmed in Georgia where the series was shot. It was also the first parody in which Osric Chau, who played Kevin Tran in Supernatural, appeared.[17][18]

In mid-2015, they released a Supernatural parody, using Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off". The lyrics were reworked to mirror the story line of season 10 of the show. Osric Chau appeared in the video, playing Sam Winchester, as well as Rob Benedict portraying Cain. With Chau's encouragement and that of Richard Speight, Jr., the sisters managed to arrange a number of cameos of former and current actors from the show. Among those appearing were series leads Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins.[19][20] The parody received coverage in a variety of news outlets, including BuzzFeed[21] Entertainment Weekly[22] and People.[23] General reaction was extremely positive, with the Supernatural cast being pleased as well. Padalacki said he hoped to "work with them again",[24] and the video was retweeted by Ackles,[25] Collins[26] and Tahmoh Penikett.[27]

The sisters did their first international production in 2016, when they went to England to film their Sherlock parody. Most of the interiors were done in America, but the exteriors and the pool scenes were done in the same locations as the actual series. The song chosen was "Thrift Shop" by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, with lyrics altered to match the show's events for the first three seasons. They were able to have co-creator Steven Moffat and his son Louis to make cameos at the end.[28][29][30] Producer Sue Vertue retweeted the video, calling it "Utterly brilliant".[31]

Other works

[edit]

After Sherlock, the Hillywood Show did a Hocus Pocus parody,[32] and plan to release a Suicide Squad parody in 2017.[33]
