Trailers for Upcoming Films

[brundlefly]

Alex Cox has a new Kickstarter for My Last Movie.

My "last movie" is a Western version of Nicolai Gogol's "Dead Souls". This is a great book, full of irony, mystery and meaning. I plan to shoot in two locations – Almería, Spain, and Tucson, Arizona.
[…] In some ways my last movie is a classic European or “Spaghetti” Western. But it’s other things too. It’s a celebration of the tenacity of its protagonist, of Gogol's novel, and of the fantastic landscapes of Tucson and Tabernas… As with some of my other films, there is both humour and politics. Plus weirdness.
[…] So please, if you enjoyed "Repo Man" or "Straight to Hell" or "Walker", consider backing a "last movie" in the same vein. Cheers!

Hard to see how the central plot could work outside the legal peculiarities of serfhood in Tsarist Russia, but making the story a western is kinda ingenious.

Adam Meeks' Union County.

American Doctor gets August release.

Ronan Corrigan's Lifehack, which brings the heist film to the wave of desktop-set movies. (It comes from the producer of Unfriended, Searching, and Missing.) Curious why Don Hertzfeldt's name flashes on the screen in a search engine.

Teasing Tony Gilroy's Behemoth.

Game Night directors Daley and Goldstein follow their D&D film with Mayday for Apple. Thinking it may depend on which direction the Ryan Reynolds-Kenneth Branagh dynamic tips.

Ronan Corrigan's Lifehack, which brings the heist film to the wave of desktop-set movies. (It comes from the producer of Unfriended, Searching, and Missing.) Curious why Don Hertzfeldt's name flashes on the screen in a search engine.

The name of the character in the film being searched is "Don Herd"; when you begin typing that name into a search engine, Hertzfeldt's name will appear as the top option - an adherence to realism that the rest of the trailer discards. Now, was the character name chosen just so Hertzfeldt would get a shoutout?

or it's based on the past search history of whoever the computer belonged to.

This is a very good point. I can think of no American 19th-century analogue to the Tsarist taxation and census system. It'll be interesting to see how he gets around that, since it is key to the story. My mind went to slaves, but that doesn't work within the book's context. And, the 3/5th clause doesn't work either.
