公司历程. 播报. 编辑. 1997年，大卫·迈克尔·拉特、大卫·里马维和雪莉·斯特兰成立了The Asylum公司，此三人曾是威秀影业（该公司曾制作《 黑客帝国 》等系列电影）的高管，成立公司时也曾高举原创大旗。 2004年，拉特读了H·G·威尔斯的小说《世界大战》，准备将其改编成电影。 巧合的是，著名导演斯皮尔伯格也准备改编这一题材，The Asylum公司抓住这个机会，为电影投入了50万美元，是以往该公司电影成本的两倍多。 2005年，两部影片同年上映。 与大片同行，让美国影片出租龙头百视达公司注意到这家小公司，并购买了The Asylum公司的《 世界大战 》10万份拷贝。 在当时，这甚至超过了一些大公司的销量，拉特和里马维从中看到了希望，他们决定重新定位公司的商业模式。 [1]
