There's a lot of noise going round about this film 'Who's Gonna Stop Jack Frost.' The trailer was released all over the place yesterday along with a twitter profile and a facebook page.
The word going round is there'll be an online release on Wednesday and it looks like they should have some pretty big numbers signing in for that. Hoping this isn't the future of cinema as I'd miss the big chairs and overpriced popcorn but we'll see.
Anyway... for the big scoop! They've designed the trailer to look like an amateur job. There's no studio names, an unknown 'Ben Cocoran' directing and the reviews don't have any newspapers/names attributed to them. There have also been some pretty obvious plants on youtube starting discussions about it being a student's work. This is all well and good but I'm sure many of you looking at the cinematography thinking this clearly wasn't made on a student's drama college budget...?
Well you'd be right! Some slightly more official sources than punters on youtube say this is a kind of 'feeler project' into the potential success of online film releases. Putting it under an 'unknown director' was the studio's way of making it a fair test (fans will follow James Cameron anywhere). Though I can respect what they're doing couldn't resist 'spilling the beans' (YES!!). There are actually some big names behind this project and even bigger wallets.
Anyway, I will certainly be logging in on Wednesday to find out exactly who's behind this!
Who's the reliable source? I've had a shit ton of messages popping up on my feed about this
