Carl Icahn Now Wants ALL Of Lionsgate 
Action Comedy TV: Showrunner Matt Nix 
SAG National Board Approves Joint Bargaining … 
This is way beyond my very limited geek expertise. But everybody keeps emailing it to me. So Jaron Pitts, who made the "amazing" fan trailer for The Green Lantern is back again, this time creating a fake trailer for a live action remake of anime film Technotise. Pitts writes on his YouTube page that he made the trailer at the behest of some Hollywood producers. Funny, how both trailers are for Warner Bros movies... Just another viral video campaign from the marketing plan:
And here's his Green Lantern video, too:

That is SPECTACULAR.
I recognized the voice-overs from at least ten different films and footage from about a dozen more. Sort of a cinematic version of Rosie O’Donnell’s crafty collage work.
OK, I’m confused. Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern?
I hope that they use the last few years of Green Lantern and the Green Lantern Corps for the film, especially the war of lights and the blackest night sagas.
They really should bring in the comic book writer, Johns, because he took what could have been a misfire and turned it into a brilliant best selling story arc for DC. He made Green Lantern compelling.
Now, if only they could turn Wonder Woman in to the mythological warrior imagined by George Perez in the late 80s. They would really have turned all of the DC characters into great movies.
This is sad.
Some anorak pieces together a trailer based on clips from other movies (like many other anoraks do) and this qualifies as news on what is supposed to be the premier hollywood site.
WTF?
There is very little really happening in Hollywood. Almost everyone I know out here is out-of-work. Go to the studios and many of the administration buildings are ghost towns. In such a climate, this is news.
What would be news is if any of the content in that Technotise trailer is from pictures out of rival studios – assuming Finke is right about WB playing some part in encouraging Pitts to cut it together. Not only would WB be getting some free testing out of this, but at the expense of their competitors. But, I guess it’s not infringement if you don’t get caught. A subtle form of “content” laundering?
Really interesting to think about how appropriation and UGC is impacting marketing strategy.
Ok, I actually decided to look a little more carefully, and there is definitely all kinds of non-WB IP in that sucker.
As of right now, that trailer (Green Lantern) have been viewed by over 1,796,826 people. Hollywood would be wise to take notice.
Welcome to the internet.
What a nerd. Get a life.
To the last poster, welcome to Hollywood 2010, a place where new voices from around the globe and cost-effective technologies are making the middle aged shylock hacks obsolete, especially since they screwed up the cash rich system that their uncles hired them into… see ya at Sack n Save, assholes.
There’s only one problem with a green Lantern movie…
The Green Lantern su-hu-hu-hu-ucks.
Has this NOT been taken into consideration?
Just because it’s a super hero doesn’t mean anyone gives a shit.
Both clip-shows are so migraine-inducing awful that it’s difficult to decide which one deserves the “worst thing ever conceived” award. So I’m giving it to both. It’s my award, I’ll do what I want.
Editing together clips from other movies does not make one “amazing” – just lame. This crap is unwatchable – nothing but fanboy wankery.
Nathan Fillion SHOULD HAVE been Green Lantern.
So looking forward to the Green Lantern movie. The trailer is perfect. Now, if the movie will live up to the hype.
I’m praying that the Green Lantern movie is half as epic as that trailer.
Don’t let me down, Martin.
It’s super funny that a random creative exercise (Green Lantern) that accidentally turned into a YouTube phenom, somehow becomes a viral marketing conspiracy (see above).
