What if they made a live action Tetris movie? It would be amazing, that’s what! Here’s a taste of one possibility.

Video: JediGym Trailer

Penguin April 23rd, 2008

Master Flynn runs a gym where members embody Star Wars characters to harness the Force and improve their lives. Little does everyone know how real the Force is.

I don’t know if this is a trailer for a real movie or a fake trailer. But it’s funny, none the less. It seems like trailers are becoming the new art form, mini-stories in themselves.

Video: American Psycho Romantic Comedy

Penguin January 30th, 2008

Great little trailer where they cut up American Psycho and turned it into a romantic comedy. It’s great to see Christian Bale come this far. If he continues this trajectory, he’ll be one of the great actors of our time.

Game: Valkyrie of the Battlefield

Penguin January 11th, 2008

I normally don’t post about video games, but this one stood out to me. The animation was done by Production IG, the same people who are responsible for Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and parts of Evangelion. Most games and computer animation in general, have a very particular style that looks computer generated. This was different. This really caught my eye.

I love the idea of using computers to render pencil drawings. I can’t help but wonder when they’ll be doing animation in ink, watercolors, or pastels. It really opens the doors for something beautiful and non-traditional. I also love the blend of technology and classic mediums.

If only they would animate a movie in this style.

Trailer: Jumper

Penguin October 11th, 2007

The Jumper trailer was released yesterday and it looks awesome. Bourne Identity was great. Mr. and Mrs. Smith was a lot of fun. I want to give Hayden Christianson a chance. I know Natalie Portman is a much better actor than what she gave on the prequel Star Wars, so I’m hoping that Christianson was limited by Lucas’s direction. The cast does have Samuel L. Jackson which is a huge plus.

Here’s the high-res trailer.

Here’s the embedded:
