Gyaruson Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXHhnT1tHNM For Smooves I hate that trailer, but only because of its laziness. When people get snatched up by the aliens (one guy off the horse, Olivia Wilde off the ground) you can clearly see the wires used to pull them up. I mean, you took the time to create a believable looking arm device that can shoot lasers, but you forgot about the oldest trick in the visual effects book? For shame.

slatz_grobnik Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 The latter's been out for a while, but I'm still waiting for a release I can make it to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr W Phallus Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Most of the films I'm looking forward to seeing have already been mentioned (Black Swan, Never let Me Go, True Grit) but I'm still interested in seeing how this turns out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBgT-IPKWJ4&feature=player_embedded I have no interest whatsoever in Battle: Los Angeles based on those trailers. Show me some footage that displays some emotion (other than shock/fear) and maybe I'll consider it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheForgetfulBrain Posted January 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuLRPY9ikcg Alrighty - a little back story.My brother-in-law and sister met at a film school in LA, back when I was in high school. I've always been a horror fan, and he and his friends were shooting a short horror film (about fifteen minutes or so) to try and dig up funding for a full-length film (cause I guess that's one of the ways to go in the film industry) and they borrowed my mom's sewing machine for the film. So I got to drive down with my parents to deliver the thing and visit the set. I later saw the trailer for their short and was super stoked and loved it. I was always hoping it would make it into an actual film.Flash forward seven, eight years, and they've finally got their funding (on After Dark's new film imprint) and the film is being released at the end of this month. The trailer just hit. I'm stoked they cast one of the main guys from Harper's Island (an awesome, criminally underrated show amongst all the shit that's on television) and it actually looks like it's going to be a decent indie horror flick.Obviously this isn't going to be a smash hit and I doubt it's even getting a wide release, but I'm stoked to see the film finally got made and looks like a fun horror ride.Can't wait to see it in theaters!

diedan Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Wow. I love a good low-budget/indie horror film. This looks super fun. Congrats to your sister/brother-in-law and friends! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) Most of the films I'm looking forward to seeing have already been mentioned (Black Swan, Never let Me Go, True Grit) but I'm still interested in seeing how this turns out: I have no interest whatsoever in Battle: Los Angeles based on those trailers. Show me some footage that displays some emotion (other than shock/fear) and maybe I'll consider it. The Green Hornet, at its best, will be a decent campy action movie. I'm looking forward to it as well. However, Battle: Los Angeles is a large-scale war movie. In short, it's meant to be epic. If people are anything but shocked in the movie (Skyline had a wide range of emotional dialogs. It was shit), I'll be disappointed.

Mr W Phallus Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 However, Battle: Los Angeles is a large-scale war movie. In short, it's meant to be epic. If people are anything but shocked in the movie (Skyline had a wide range of emotional dialogs. It was shit), I'll be disappointed. I dunno, Apocalypse Now is an epic war film but it certainly isn't monotone in terms of emotions. As for large-scale, the events portrayed in the film may be happening on a large-scale but I'm sure it will focus on a small group of people. I suppose the film was always going to be a hard sell anyway since I tend to have a low opinion of CGI-heavy action films, it just seems to me that the trailer is offering nothing more than some impressive CGI and a whole load of explosions. The design of the alien tech has a distinctive District 9 vibe without offering the unique personal angle that District 9 had. And it's not like invasion movies haven't been done to death already.

staySICK Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Going to see Green Hornet later today. This trailer sold me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIcDUG4gFEY now I'm going to get responses about "what song is that?" or "I don't get it" and I'll end up feeling old...er Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanb Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Just to check but folks know this is a viral right? The fact the movie comes out 1st April should set most folks off. Still kinda funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr W Phallus Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 What is a viral? Rubber? I think not. It's directed by Quentin Dupieux (aka Mr. Oizo) and features music by Mr. Oizo and Gauspard Auge (one half of Justice). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Wait it's actually real? 1. why on earth make it seem like a viral 2. how on earth do films like this get funding when many others don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's already done the festival rounds, I don't think it was meant to seem viral. 2. The estimated budget was only $500,000 for a start, and since Mr. Oizo is a successful music producer he probably funded it himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 $500K is actually quite a lot btw. Though if it's self funded, not too bad (though even self-funded that's a huge amount) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr W Phallus Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Ok thinking about it maybe it is a bit much to be self-funded. But still by modern standards a $500K budget is pretty small and it is his second film so it's not like he's some unknown guy who wants money to make a film.

NeoStarr Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 2. how on earth do films like this get funding when many others don't. Most movies don't have such an awesome premise. What's your beef against killer tire movies? (EDIT: Seriously though; the related links at the side on the youtube page show Killer Condom, which was an awesome Troma film; are they maybe the ones behind it?) Also; this is sadly real. And I take back everything I ever said about the internet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr W Phallus Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Should be good but the trailer wasn't that funny. I hope that's just so all the good jokes aren't ruined before you even reach the cinema and not because of a lack of material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
