"Gray State" movie concept trailer released

[jmdrake]

For a theatrical release? Not really. There's not even a story presented in the trailer, much less a compelling one. It's just a series of scenarios. The production quality is presentable, but definitely not Hollywood level. The best chance it has of getting a theatrical release is if it goes the Sherwood Baptist Church route, which is not a bad idea, however the story will have to be really good. The evangelical crowd tends not to show discerning artistic tastes as long as it says Jesus and some one gets saved.

I would give it a better chance of making it to a TV network, and of course DVD/Bluray/online distribution.

There is a story presented. The people are sleeping. A surveilence state is slowly put into place. The economy goes completely to hell. The people riot. Marital law is introduced. The people fight back. Victory is far from certain. What else do you want to know about the story?

I guess they could always call in UN help...

There are already agreements in place to use Canadian troops,, that I know of.. Perhaps Mexican as well.

I am sure UN "Peacekeepers" would be called upon if needed.

The hope there would be that if it comes on an economical collapse the rest of the world is going with us. So they'll probably need their troops.

A story doesn't have to appear in the trailer. The concepts of the movie, impact hard enough as to where, the trailer doesn't need to tell the story. The events that unfold in the movie tell the story on its own.

But it sure helps when you are asking people to invest in the story.

What you described is what I have already stated: A series of scenarios. Who is the main character/'s? What is his/her/their ambitions and dreams, and how are they being effected and why should I care?

Shit,, folks will be putting on a Uniform just for the Rations. And others just for the thrill.

Never kid yourself about evil.

And you get all that from any other movie trailer,, where??
You get a few sound bytes and some special effects,, and you don't find out that the hero dies at the end till you watch the whole thing.

There is the website linked,,to the production crew and producers.. Info is available there.

I think it's all fear porn trying to instill fear into the population....anything to make a buck...right.

Yeah right,, what ever you want to think.

 

[jbauer]

There's plenty of fear porn out there. I'll give you that. I however, think we're a lot closer to a tipping point in history then anyone here or elsewhere wants to admit.

Looks good. Creeped me out. I will totally watch it. I'll buy it if I have to. I suppose I can do this too:

So,, someone is taking my visions and making a movie.

not sure how I feel..
Get the hell out of the cities.

Support this film if you are able and inclined.

Look at Anaheim, and Occupy Wall-Street. You think this isn't actually happening, ladies and gentlemen? The only thing that hasn't happened yet, is economic meltdown. Once that happens "your civil liberties will be severely threatened. --Ron Paul

The drought is speeding up the timetable, rapidly.

makes you wonder how well the IRA would have done if their war was being fought today...

If they hold off on the shooting, they will soon be able to make a non-fiction documentary.

Yes that information is often times included in movie trailers (however not all of the time). Those "few sound bytes" often reveal details of the characters and their struggles etc... But those movie trailers you're talking about are backed by hundreds of millions of dollars already and are not asking for money.

There is the website linked,,to the production crew and producers.. Info is available there.

I explored the website and all I found is that a story exists but there is no information on it at all.

Look, I'm sympathetic to the purpose and theme of this film, and I would love to see a movie like this succeed, but I'm also familiar with the harsh realities of film making. This needs to convince more than just liberty movement activists, and I'm not even sold on it yet myself.

Yes they are,, and asking for more millions than it cost to produce.

and I'm not even sold on it yet myself.

OK,

If a movie with a talking fucking teddy bear can get financed I'm sure these guys will have no problems.

 

[pcosmar]

Are you quite sure that this shouldn't be in Grass Root Central?



Seems to me,,
