If you have not seen this video on Youtube, than you have to see it here. It is a video that honestly has more of a story, better visuals, and better effects than virtually any SyFy original (ie. revisioned copy) film, and more than a few major movies in the past several years.
Believe it or not, this was made by Fede Alvarez for $300. I love the effects and wonder how he got all of that done for so little. No matter how he did it, the video is great!
But here is the kicker. Alvarez has now joined Neill Blomkamp as a new director for Hollywood. Considering the skill of the above video, the budget, and the slick forethought to not include any dialog so it basically fits in any country, Hollywood is getting more than they deserve.
I'm not sure what the first film for Alvarez will be, supposedly it won't be a continuation or expansion of this video, but he is going to get $30 million to make it. I'm getting goosebumps at what he might be able to do with that kind of money with his vision. That is, as long as the Hollywood studios leave him alone.
Fede Alvarez, we are watching out for you.
