Last week, a seven minute short film spread like wild fire across the Interwebs and had geeks salivating by the buckets full. Mortal Kombat: Rebirth has now had close to four million views and rising. This short film puzzled viewers as to the origin and what this was promoting if it was promoting anything at all. With E3 on it’s way many thought it was to promote a new video game, others believed it was a promo for a new movie coming out, and some just thought it was made for fun. Continue after the jump to read what the real deal to this short film was!

Groovin’ With Ken and His Viral Toy Story 3 Marketing

Posted on by

With more and more admiration towards animated films, I am definitely digging this viral marketing campaigns for Pixar’s Toy Story 3. An interview of Ken the doll (voiced by Michael Keaton) and his dating tips, show a sort of adult side humor to these toys. They are pretty fun and if you had doubts about the direction of these new characters, specifically Ken, then I suggest you check these videos out. Pixar storytelling seems like they are going towards more adult themes like Up or Wall-E, while still maintaining their childlike wonderment. The highly anticipated Toy Story 3 will be released in theaters this Friday, June 18 in 3D, 2D, and IMAX 3D. Check out Ken as he gives you tips on getting the girl and more insight into his life as a Ken doll after the jump!

I’m all for literal translations, especially after I was introduced to them with the literal translation of the “Total Eclipse of the Heart” video (yeah, I might have been late to the party?). But these guys at Tobuscus have done a pretty swell job with movie trailers and their music cutting lyrics to the action that is going on within them. After the jump check out literal translations to Resident Evil: Afterlife, Clash of the Titans, and Tron Legacy movie trailers. Continue reading →

T-He: (500) Days of Summer as a Thriller?

Posted on by

0

The guys at Scott Productions decided to recut scenes from the great indie rom/com (500) Days of Summer and infuse it with music from Inception trailer to make a totally believable thriller. Zack Hemsey’s ‘Mind Heist,’ from the latest Inception trailer makes this trailer recut into something at the same time brilliant and funny due to the context of the film. I believe that it sort of loses its spark near the end of the video, but it still is a must see if you like (500) Days of Summer. Check out the recut (500) Days of Summer thriller redub after the jump!

Get Buried in this Trailer

The official trailer for Ryan Reynolds new thriller, Buried, was recently released attached to A Nightmare on Elm Street. This low budget indie film caught the eye of Lionsgate at the Sundance film festival this year when it won over audiences with its unique story and dare I say set design? Not since The Descent have we really gotten a film to capture the essence of a classic case of claustrophobia.

Synopsis: Paul Conroy is not ready to die. But when he wakes up 6 feet underground with no idea of who put him there or why, life for the truck driver and family man instantly becomes a hellish struggle for survival. Buried with only a cell phone and a lighter, his contact with the outside world and ability to piece together clues that could help him discover his location are maddeningly limited. Poor reception, a rapidly draining battery, and a dwindling oxygen supply become his worst enemies in a tightly confined race against time- fighting panic, despair and delirium, Paul has only 90 minutes to be rescued before his worst nightmare comes true.

If we could take back Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li and learn from our mistakes with video game adaptations, will we ever get a decent Street Fighter movie? Besides the 1994 attempt at a feature film, Street Fighter has really been an accomplished video game franchise. After the dust settled from the aftermath of Legend of Chun-Li, one man has stepped up to this challenge to create a short film recognizing the potential of Street Fighter. You can check out the short film along with trailers, featurettes and pictures after the jump!

T-He: Pac-Man: The Movie Faux Trailer

Someone decided, “Hey let’s create a parody horror live action version of Pac-Man!” It works. This is a pretty eerie take on the classic arcade game and looks like it could be an interesting SyFy channel movie. This is really well done created by a comedy group called Therefore Productions. Perhaps this could lead to the sequel of Ms. Pac-Man.

Pharmaceutical CEO Michael Pacman is forced to take his own dangerous medications in order to survive a maze designed by a sadistic patient out for revenge.

Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D Teaser Trailer

The teaser trailer for the final sequel in the Resident Evil series, Resident Evil: Afterlife, has just been released this weekend. It looks like everything it’s expected to be, but characters from the games have a bigger presence like Chris Redfield and Albert Wesker. Either way you look at it, this film won’t be something outstanding and just something to mindlessly enjoy like the rest of them, but Paul W.S. Anderson is back directing this final chapter having only directed the first one; in my opinion the best one so far. Doesn’t look like they held anything back as there is a familiar sequence that looks like they stole from The Matrix Reloaded. Oh well, they do mention to having used the 3D technology that James Cameron created for Avatar. Check out the trailer embedded after the jump and you can make your opinion.

The official trailer for the eerie science experiment gone wrong thriller, Splice, has been released this past week. It’s almost like a someone took a hint of Deep Blue Sea by taking the playing god aspect with an animal, but this time its with some strange lizard creature. The creature almost reminds me of the chimera’s in the anime Full Metal Alchemist with the bonding of human and animal DNA. Looks creepy, but I’m still have my doubts. We’ll see won’t we? Starring Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley this sci-fi thriller will be released in theaters June 4 this Summer. Check out the trailer after the jump!

The first full trailer for The A-Team has been released and it looks pretty great actually. This is how the G.I. Joe movie should have been done. It still may be a little far fetched and corny at times, but it does look like it should be pretty entertaining. The A-Team stars Liam Neeson as Col. John “Hannibal” Smith, Bradley Cooper as the playboy mercenary role of Lt. Templeton “Faceman” Peck, Sharlto Copley as Capt. ‘Howling Mad’ Murdock, and UFC champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson as B.A. Baracus. Look out for this film to be released June 11th!
