'X' is an American film studio and distributor which focuses on producing low-budget, usually direct-to-video productions. The studio is best known for producing titles capitalizing on productions by major studios. These titles have been dubbed "mockbusters" by the press. 'X' was founded by former Village Roadshow executives David Rimawi, Sherri Strain, and director David Michael Latt in 1997. 'X' became known in 2007 when similarities between the distributor's titles and those of major studios were reported. For example, the film Transmorphers, bears a number of similarities to the film Transformers, which was released theatrically two days after the release of Transmorphers. According to Latt, "I'm not trying to dupe anybody. I'm just trying to get my films watched. Other people do tie-ins all the time; they’re just better at being subtle about it. Another studio might make a giant robot movie that ties into the Transformers release and call it Robot Wars. We’ll call ours Transmorphers." In 2008, 20th Century Fox threatened legal action against 'X' over The Day the Earth Stopped, a film capitalizing on The Day the Earth Stood Still. The production company works currently on Titanic 2, which is slated for a late-2010 release.
