A More Literal Game Movie

[-Drifter-]

On Saturday this week, at midnight, a video game movie is making it's debut on FOX. Not the type of video game movie that you're likely thinking of. Rather, this is a movie being filmed inside a video game (Red Dead Redemption to be specific.) It's being directed by a Mister John Hillcoat, who directed "The Proposition" and "The Road."

Personally, I think this is a pretty damn cool idea, and hope it pans out well.

What are your thoughts on the idea and/or trailer?

EDIT: Hold on a sec, my attempt to embed seems to have failed miserably. For now, I've just posted the link instead. If anyone knows how to embed IGN videos, your help would be greatly appreciated, since I can't seem to find the trailer on Youtube.

That actually sounds pretty awesome.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks so.

So it's potentially really good machinema? Sounds interesting enough. I enjoy a good peice of machinema now and then.

My sentiments exactly.

Wait, so could someone clarify if this is a film of Red Dead Redemption's story or of their own story using Red Dead Redemption as a format to tell it?
