The trailer was really jawdropping, a very palpable collective "what the fuck was that?!?" rippled through the audience when I saw it the other night.
SPOILERY TRAILER DESCRIPTION
[+] [-] Spoiler As described above, it's been shot with a handheld video camera. IT starts off light - we're at a going away-party for a young man in Manhattan, who is apparently moving to Japan. The person with the camera is going to all the partygoers and asking them to record a farewell message - lots of blown kisses, well-wishes, congratulations, etc. Suddenly there's a loud noise, the cameraman is startled, and the partiers are looking out the window, and in the distance we can see a ball of fire erupting from the city. The partiers run up the stairwell to the roof of the building and see more explosions and there's a horrible roar. Now panicked, they run down to street level where people are massing on the street. There's another huge noise and we see something arcing through the air, descending toward the street - people run and scatter to avoid the impact and suddenly the smoking, broken head of the Statue of Liberty slams into the road. We hear horrified screams from the onlookers as the screen goes black and the trailer ends.
The description doesn't really do it justice, the Blair Witch style camerawork is what really sells it. It gave me a genuine shiver up my spine and ultimately was more memorable that the movie that followed. Hopefully the film, whatever it's called, will live up to the trailer... |
