Friday, May 09, 2008WOW. Reason to want to make movies“The Fall” - most gorgeous trailer....ever? Check out this trailer for The Fall. If the imagery doesn’t grab you at first (I saw posters on the street walking to work, and I literally stopped to gawk at the one sheet), how about “David Fincher and Spike Jonze Present.” Directed by Tarsem, known for his music video work. Wow. How gorgeous is this? In the middle of a 60+ hour work week, I watched the trailer 3 times, with co-workers, dimming the lights, waiting for the 1080p to download, and standing enthralled. I took the time during lunch to scroll through, find 20 amazing stills in it, copy/paster to Photoshop and save’em out as JPEGs so I can have them rotate out as desktops every few minutes. It is THAT good. Plus, it looks like a good story, unlike some technically proficient, but plastic spastic blockbusters opening today. Which imagery do you think will stay with you, haunt your idle reveries, more? -mike (15) Comments • Most recent comments by: life insurance cover, billS, billS, doctiloquus, Bob Gundu, Alex da Silva, John Whorfin, Jonah Lee Walker, Steven Bradford, dylan pank, • Permalink Page 1 of 1 pages |
