WW I deserves an "epic" treatment on the big screen. I honestly think Jackson might be the man to do it based on this trailer. I wish to God he'd directed Red Tails.
I really really want Peter Jackson to make this as a full length movie now. This trailer whetted my appetite. I'm convinced that if anyone could make the definitive World War One epic of our time, it is him. It's been too long since we've had a proper, decent WW1 movie.
Just to be clear, it was "shot" in two days, not produced in two days. In other words, it took a much longer time to setup, cast, rehearse, obtain/build props, set up blocking for shots, all the post production involved, etc.. In other words, it took a lot longer than two days to complete. So, future filmmakers, don't be discouraged that you couldn't do something like this someday. Don't give up.
@Pwn9Gaming No, it wasn't filmed in 28k, this was actually the first film to be shot on a RED ONE, an alpha version of the camera in fact. The camera had not been released at this time and the alpha model could just do 4k, at 24fps. This short was shown at the camera's launch expedition. And btw the Epic can do 5k at 48fps, not 28k...Look up RED on Wikipedia :)
@davcas113 I find your comment about New Zealanders being "dumb" highly insulting and ignorant. NZlanders are actually ranked 4th in the world for english maths and science according to the world education rankings and we are a highly innovative nation. I bet you didn't know that. Who's the dumb shit now?
Wonderful clarity of picture for the 460 resolution.
I don't know where the film is set (Ypres? Somme?), but it gives me shivers thinking Granddad was the one yelling "bayonets!", and what it means to yell it.
Why do a see several pages of comments talking about Avatar here of all places? Seriously what does this camera test promo have to do with Avatar? Also do we really need to bring nationality elitism here? Seriously shame on all you who look down on others and who put your own nationality at the top, the way I see it you're embarrassing your countries by using them as petty stepping stoles to boost your own egos. Please if not for your own sake at least STFU for the countries you claim to love.
@SNFozzy919 Ah a sensible question if not a common one here and luckily an answer to it surfaced not to long ago. Ok the 1st part of the trailer is taken from a part of "Its Deserted" from the King Kong soundtrack by James Newton Howard ( I do believe if you start playing the song around 1:50 into it you'll hear the clip used in this trailer) the next track used in the trailer is "Dethroned" (I think its from the Instrumental version) by X Ray Dog. Enjoy
The full film is about 10 minutes long from memory and is brilliant. Shows an allied soldier chasing a photo of his g/f that blows out of his hand, and a dogfight where a pilot loses his mascot teddy bear. The trailer really doesn't do it justice.
BTW, Jacksons CGI on aircraft is at the point that the real ones can be in the background with the CGI up front and you can't pick it. The WWI air combat footage at the Australian War Memorial is a real eye opener. The CGI is nigh on perfect.
I think you all just need to enjoy a short trailor which was shot in just 2 days with very little CGI, the only CGI would be the muzzle flashes and that would be it!
This was actually not a short film - and is not available. It was merely a trailer shot, using the RED ONE camera system (to display it's abilities). I would love to see a movie like this produced, but as of now, its vaporware.
I know that this is a worthless comment, but wouldn't it be weird, if they were having a giant fight like they were in this trailer and someone pulled out an AC-130? or Apache?
This is the "camera test" Peter Jackson did on two early prototypes of the camera, back in 2006. The film (short) was shown at a few expos in 2007 to show off the new RED ONE camera.
This very moment, dozens of movies and tv shows and hundreds of commercials are being produced on Red One - including Pirates of the Caribbean 4.
It sounds like from the spider pit sequence, while the music during the battle is from the trailer. I THINK the man who yells "medic" was in the movie.... maybe the police man at the end? It's been a while since I watched KK.
@knightflyte Its a bit of a mash up but the main part is from when they first step foot on the island and the rest is Trailer music used for various things. I think your right that the "Medic" guy is from king kong.
i have my own personal opinions why the US can make films but it would just create a political feud, its just that Spielberg wanted Saving Private Ryan for Americans, especially for the veterans of WW2, now films like Avatar was widely accepted was because of the graphics and there was no nationality bias even though, the characters except for the navi were aliens, also there is the language barrier and culture barrier
that some people don't like certain films because they see too many political references in movie, Avatar was successful because of the special effects and 3d hence the rush for everything being 3d
@davcas113 , never mind what forces put men to war....the dead civilians, lost family members...profits of arms dealers...as long as the heroism continue....but there will be a price to pay ... one day. And that day is coming very soon. Those behind this curtain will be revealed. Who makes the political feuds?
ok, considering that I doubt you went a year ago in the comment section to even read what I was referring to, you shouldn't even comment, yes I know Peter Jackson was from New Zealand and this was also filmed in New Zealand, so again don't be an ignorant fuck and comment about something you have no knowledge of
@madorosh we would if we had the money that americans have for their movies...the most expensive canadian film to date is Passchendaele and it was only 20 million$
In response to Shadoweye, maybe more British, French, Canadian, and Australian film-makers should make movies about themselves and stop whining about why the Americans won't do it for them.
@madorosh: Canada did make movies, and so did many British and Australian films, I have seen many of them, but not only are they old, they are constantly disreguarded as "False Glory films" by other countries and often overshadowed by the greater quality movies from the US. I just think it would be not only nice, but give greater mutual respect for each other if such films were made in equal quality.
I agree that's it's always interesting that MAJORITY of these movies is about the Americans who always show up late in the war, and the movie almost portrays them winning the WHOLE war, when in fact they just more or less finished it. I would like to see more British, French, Canadian, and Austrailian based story line.
They had one with Mel Gibson way back in the day I forget what it was called but if you look him up on IMBD it should be there. It was alright I guess
The problem is that all war movies seem to be make by americans. Spielberg pretty much made WW2 about americans vs. germans in Saving private..., completely ignoring the fact that canadians, Frenchmen, British and Australians died in Normandy too. The question is: Why we Europeans buy those films??
Well let's not completly demoniz Saving Private Ryan it was a good movie. But your point still stands WHY? Well the only reason I can think of is the same reason we Canadians buy them, the graphics. the graphics completly outdo our own, on top of it all we become tired of trying to compete with the Americans especially when their movies come out better because they can put more money into them, and the Americans again disreguard our movies as "False Glory Films" or "False Pride Films"
@Shadoweye12 Canada can make just as good films as the US but the film industry is run by the government and is constantly trying to shove Canadian content down people's throats instead of just letting films be films.
@damnthisthin I agree, but unfortunatley to make good movies requires a lot of money, of which few people are going to contribute mostly because the ones who do have money move to the US, and the US has the best movie making studio in the world. The government doesn't so much make bad quality as much as bad funding, thus there is no competition.
@Shadoweye12 It's mainly because most of the studios in Hollywood are in fact international ones. Even directors from other countries often end up having their films distributed largely in the US. Roman Polanski, for example. Because of the studios' location, they wind up drawing a lot of attention towards the US. It has nothing to do with disregarding other work; however I don't completely disagree with you either.
@1965Channel thanks I guess, but that is definitely new information to me that studios are international in Hollywood, I never knew that, I had just assumed that hollywood is an american studio and just simply remains at that, but does do work on other countries history so that is definitly something good to know.
im not trying to be racist or anything but we just fought most of the war and the majority of the people who fought were Americans, British and Russia(not counting th Axis) that and we have really good green-screen
Sorry for interrupting your delicious conversation, i'd like to know where i may download Crossing the Line since the links on the right aren't working anymore. Thanks and, please, stop being racist.
I don't think it's available anymore, it's only a short test film and it's over 2 years old. I've looked it up on the internet but couldn't find anything about it anymore, apart from the information about the new camera. And it's not my intention to look racist, it's the anger of being repressed
You joined in 1918, there was barely anything left to fight! the least fallen soldiers, god...
there is no culture of the united states because it is a mix of every other culture in the world, there are no true americans left, cause you butchered them all. there are only immigrants who have settled in the 'new world'
You're clearly ignorant of the "Kaiserschlacht", aka the Ludendorff Offensive. It was Germany's last great effort before the weight of American manpower and materiel become overwhelming. The Germans lost.
As for there being no true Americans left: We're all true Americans. But there are still millions of American Indians around. I think they'd be offended by your ignorance.
Also, your inability to spell telegraphs your lack of education. You should stop posting and read some books.
I know about the Kaiserschlacht, the Spring Offensive or Operation Michael. I've done a thesis about it in school, and therefor I also know that the Germans could never have won the battle, as their offensives of the previous years had destroyed the terrain, sharpened the Allied defences and exhausted their men and resources.
And about them natives, since when do you give a damn about them, you butchered them, drove them off their lands to claim them your own, it's sick how you abuse them now
Just googled it, did you? If the Germans could never have won, why did they start?
As for "them" natives, a lot of them are doing very well these days, what with their casinos. We butchered them and they did a lot of butchering themselves. Who used to live on the land your hovel is on?
I have it right here: my thesis about the great war, in which my great-great grandfather died. your question is rediculous, you could just as well have asked why you invaded Iraq when you knew there were no nukes there. And the Indians are doing great these days, but that's because they are completely independant of the US government, they live in communist-like societies, and you have nothing to do with it.
And my home is build on the land on which my family has lived for the past 2000 years!
cause u're imperialists, it's called neocolonazation. After the industrial revolution in Britian around 1750, the world started to copy everything they produced, the same happend when the post-industrial revolution started in the sixties in the US, we don't want to copy it cause it's yours, it's just the best way to make fast money
Right! It's the way to make fast money because it's what people everywhere want to buy! Blue jeans everywhere, photos of Michael Jackson, Madonna and Britney Spears. American movie stars, American movies. Blues, Jazz, Rock 'n' Roll, Rap. American culture has conquered most of the world. People fight and die to immigrate here and get away from where they were born.
And here you are, sucking up on the American YouTube. If you really had any pride, you'd boycott it permanently.
As I said before, the Post-Industrial revolution in America in the late 1960's allowed America to produce goods on a massive scale, their economy had devellopped the most in the 20th century, as they had suffered the least from the wars. The European countries didn't have the money and resources. And the the imperealism kicked in: during the Cold War, America tried to gain influence over the entire world, seizing countries of their own before the communists could do so.
Doesn't explain why you're wearing blue jeans and listening to rap, does it now? The Nazis tried to seize Europe, but it didn't have Europe listening to polkas and wearing brown shirts, did it? It's sad that you can't get past your jealousy.
The nazi's tried to seize Europe by force, you try it by fake politics and diplomacy.
And I'm not jealous, I'm sick of u american gits feeling superior to the rest of the world because you invented friggin' cola, everything you ever learned has come from us, Europeans who were the bricks on which the White House has been built, and still you think you just popped out of somewhere and got the world on a silver plate.
Ah, you're a brit. That explains the your sense of inferiority and jealousy. And the White House was built by Africans, not Europeans. And when they get here, they're not Europeans much longer. And Indians don't live in "communist" societies. You're profoundly ignorant.
Flemish? HAHAHAHAHAHA! You're a nationalist who doesn't even have his own country? Gotta share it with those pesky Walloons, right? A Belgian Nazi. That's -- sad.
where did you get the nationalist from? I said I'm Flemish, because if I said Belgian you'd call us a shitty country and think I speak French. Flanders and Brabant have existed since the Roman ages and, although repressed multiple times, our people has always lived here. Why is that nationalistic? Because we love the land on which our ancestors have lived for thousands of years? why does that make me a nazi? I don't think Walloons are pesky, they just have more economical problems than the north
I think if Jackson did a film about Gallipoli it would be awesome. He's already entertaining the idea. It wouldn't be like Peter Weir's film, but rather span the whole battle, where Weir's film only spanned a little portion. Jackson said he would also present it from New Zealand's side, and not just Australia.
Maybe in preparation for that film, he shot this short. Who knows.
How do you figure that? The Great War did not need teh United States to intervene. Most modern historians contend that the US' contribution was negligable.
WW2 was a war that the US couldnt stay out of!
US history has largely been about staying out of European wars.
you make it sound like the US never wants war, but the reason why you didn't want to help out in World War I was that the Isolationists didn't want to get entangeld in European politics, so we wouldn't mess with your's in South-America, in the end the cry for war from the common people was too load too ignore. And you would have done the same thing in World War II if the Japs wouldn't have been first to strike.
Admit it, it's just luck you joined in, we we're just lucky you didn't let us rot
The majority of US citizens did not want to enter the war, that was the ticket that Woodrow Wilson won on.
Wilson wanted to get involved but very few Americans did. The sinking of the Lusitania in which some US citizens were killed created a pretext and the Zimmerman telegram was the final cause that triggered US entry. Otherwise the US would have been content to let the europeans butcher eachother as the phrase went. (sic)
ww2 was the same FDR said he would stay out. US didnt want to ...
(con't)...enter. It was regretable in many americans eyes that the Germans were being so brutal however it didnt concern the US citizen.
Geo-politically a few inside the US knew it would be bad for the Germans to conquer europe. It must be remembered thouth that the US never declared war on Germany, only on Japan since the Japanese and American Empires were going to clash. Germany declared war on the US hoping that Japan would declare war on the USSR- a fialed gamble.
its funny how all americans love king kong and lord of the rings. but then diss peter jackson. a movie like wanted? cos thats something aint it...there is no history in a movie like that. its like ww1....the yanks beleive they won the war. they only joined in 1918...
peter jackson is very good at what he does. NZ pride
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
... I dont like peter jackson since he messed with Tolkiens Books and made an american movie out of it... thats enough to get him disrespect from my side and its not to be forgiven easy by an european mind and admirer of tolkien. You just have to look at the material coming along his dvds and the workshops in it... Getting a deeper look at the person itself he is a man with an ugly soul, only good enough for perverted sick horror movies and big pictures. americans will love this.
You obviously dont know anything about Jackson. He hates hollywood. He hates the american film industry. The way him and his fellow new zealanders made this movie is the farest away from hollywood or america you can get mr. Watch Beowulf. Thats a really crap american turn around.
You might want to get a bit more info on this before you say something like that. This is not so much of a movie as it is a camera test, its 15 mins long and was shot in just 2 days. It has a simple plot which mainly focuses on providing entertainment rather then facts regarding WWI which is the setting theme. After all, it was just a camera test but Peter Jackson decided to make it a epic camera test. You misplace expectations with this short film since you view it as more then it is
WW I deserves an "epic" treatment on the big screen. I honestly think Jackson might be the man to do it based on this trailer. I wish to God he'd directed Red Tails.

ok, considering that I doubt you went a year ago in the comment section to even read what I was referring to, you shouldn't even comment, yes I know Peter Jackson was from New Zealand and this was also filmed in New Zealand, so again don't be an ignorant fuck and comment about something you have no knowledge of
THE MORE YOU KNOW : )

@madorosh we would if we had the money that americans have for their movies...the most expensive canadian film to date is Passchendaele and it was only 20 million$
DidYouPush2Hard 1 year ago
In response to Shadoweye, maybe more British, French, Canadian, and Australian film-makers should make movies about themselves and stop whining about why the Americans won't do it for them.

@madorosh: Canada did make movies, and so did many British and Australian films, I have seen many of them, but not only are they old, they are constantly disreguarded as "False Glory films" by other countries and often overshadowed by the greater quality movies from the US. I just think it would be not only nice, but give greater mutual respect for each other if such films were made in equal quality.
Shadoweye12 1 year ago
I agree that's it's always interesting that MAJORITY of these movies is about the Americans who always show up late in the war, and the movie almost portrays them winning the WHOLE war, when in fact they just more or less finished it. I would like to see more British, French, Canadian, and Austrailian based story line.

They had one with Mel Gibson way back in the day I forget what it was called but if you look him up on IMBD it should be there. It was alright I guess

The problem is that all war movies seem to be make by americans. Spielberg pretty much made WW2 about americans vs. germans in Saving private..., completely ignoring the fact that canadians, Frenchmen, British and Australians died in Normandy too. The question is: Why we Europeans buy those films??
badseed136 1 year ago 2
Well let's not completly demoniz Saving Private Ryan it was a good movie. But your point still stands WHY? Well the only reason I can think of is the same reason we Canadians buy them, the graphics. the graphics completly outdo our own, on top of it all we become tired of trying to compete with the Americans especially when their movies come out better because they can put more money into them, and the Americans again disreguard our movies as "False Glory Films" or "False Pride Films"
Shadoweye12 1 year ago
@Shadoweye12 Canada can make just as good films as the US but the film industry is run by the government and is constantly trying to shove Canadian content down people's throats instead of just letting films be films.
damnthisthin 1 year ago
@damnthisthin I agree, but unfortunatley to make good movies requires a lot of money, of which few people are going to contribute mostly because the ones who do have money move to the US, and the US has the best movie making studio in the world. The government doesn't so much make bad quality as much as bad funding, thus there is no competition.
Shadoweye12 1 year ago
@Shadoweye12 It's mainly because most of the studios in Hollywood are in fact international ones. Even directors from other countries often end up having their films distributed largely in the US. Roman Polanski, for example. Because of the studios' location, they wind up drawing a lot of attention towards the US. It has nothing to do with disregarding other work; however I don't completely disagree with you either.
1965Channel 1 year ago
@1965Channel thanks I guess, but that is definitely new information to me that studios are international in Hollywood, I never knew that, I had just assumed that hollywood is an american studio and just simply remains at that, but does do work on other countries history so that is definitly something good to know.

You joined in 1918, there was barely anything left to fight! the least fallen soldiers, god...
there is no culture of the united states because it is a mix of every other culture in the world, there are no true americans left, cause you butchered them all. there are only immigrants who have settled in the 'new world'
slayerfromabove 2 years ago
You're clearly ignorant of the "Kaiserschlacht", aka the Ludendorff Offensive. It was Germany's last great effort before the weight of American manpower and materiel become overwhelming. The Germans lost.
As for there being no true Americans left: We're all true Americans. But there are still millions of American Indians around. I think they'd be offended by your ignorance.
Also, your inability to spell telegraphs your lack of education. You should stop posting and read some books.
Genessender 2 years ago
I know about the Kaiserschlacht, the Spring Offensive or Operation Michael. I've done a thesis about it in school, and therefor I also know that the Germans could never have won the battle, as their offensives of the previous years had destroyed the terrain, sharpened the Allied defences and exhausted their men and resources.
And about them natives, since when do you give a damn about them, you butchered them, drove them off their lands to claim them your own, it's sick how you abuse them now
slayerfromabove 2 years ago
Just googled it, did you? If the Germans could never have won, why did they start?
As for "them" natives, a lot of them are doing very well these days, what with their casinos. We butchered them and they did a lot of butchering themselves. Who used to live on the land your hovel is on?
Genessender 2 years ago
I have it right here: my thesis about the great war, in which my great-great grandfather died. your question is rediculous, you could just as well have asked why you invaded Iraq when you knew there were no nukes there. And the Indians are doing great these days, but that's because they are completely independant of the US government, they live in communist-like societies, and you have nothing to do with it.
And my home is build on the land on which my family has lived for the past 2000 years!

If the US has no culture, why does the rest of the world insist on copying our clothes, our movies, our music, etc. etc.?
Genessender 2 years ago
cause u're imperialists, it's called neocolonazation. After the industrial revolution in Britian around 1750, the world started to copy everything they produced, the same happend when the post-industrial revolution started in the sixties in the US, we don't want to copy it cause it's yours, it's just the best way to make fast money
slayerfromabove 2 years ago
Right! It's the way to make fast money because it's what people everywhere want to buy! Blue jeans everywhere, photos of Michael Jackson, Madonna and Britney Spears. American movie stars, American movies. Blues, Jazz, Rock 'n' Roll, Rap. American culture has conquered most of the world. People fight and die to immigrate here and get away from where they were born.
And here you are, sucking up on the American YouTube. If you really had any pride, you'd boycott it permanently.
Genessender 2 years ago
As I said before, the Post-Industrial revolution in America in the late 1960's allowed America to produce goods on a massive scale, their economy had devellopped the most in the 20th century, as they had suffered the least from the wars. The European countries didn't have the money and resources. And the the imperealism kicked in: during the Cold War, America tried to gain influence over the entire world, seizing countries of their own before the communists could do so.
slayerfromabove 2 years ago 2
Doesn't explain why you're wearing blue jeans and listening to rap, does it now? The Nazis tried to seize Europe, but it didn't have Europe listening to polkas and wearing brown shirts, did it? It's sad that you can't get past your jealousy.

The nazi's tried to seize Europe by force, you try it by fake politics and diplomacy.

slayerfromabove 2 years ago
Ah, you're a brit. That explains the your sense of inferiority and jealousy. And the White House was built by Africans, not Europeans. And when they get here, they're not Europeans much longer. And Indians don't live in "communist" societies. You're profoundly ignorant.

Because we love the land on which our ancestors have lived for thousands of years? why does that make me a nazi?

I think if Jackson did a film about Gallipoli it would be awesome. He's already entertaining the idea. It wouldn't be like Peter Weir's film, but rather span the whole battle, where Weir's film only spanned a little portion. Jackson said he would also present it from New Zealand's side, and not just Australia.
Maybe in preparation for that film, he shot this short. Who knows.

How do you figure that? The Great War did not need teh United States to intervene. Most modern historians contend that the US' contribution was negligable.
WW2 was a war that the US couldnt stay out of!
US history has largely been about staying out of European wars.
So explain please?
fp470 2 years ago 2
you make it sound like the US never wants war, but the reason why you didn't want to help out in World War I was that the Isolationists didn't want to get entangeld in European politics, so we wouldn't mess with your's in South-America, in the end the cry for war from the common people was too load too ignore. And you would have done the same thing in World War II if the Japs wouldn't have been first to strike.
Admit it, it's just luck you joined in, we we're just lucky you didn't let us rot
slayerfromabove 2 years ago
The majority of US citizens did not want to enter the war, that was the ticket that Woodrow Wilson won on.
Wilson wanted to get involved but very few Americans did. The sinking of the Lusitania in which some US citizens were killed created a pretext and the Zimmerman telegram was the final cause that triggered US entry. Otherwise the US would have been content to let the europeans butcher eachother as the phrase went. (sic)
ww2 was the same FDR said he would stay out. US didnt want to ...
fp470 2 years ago
(con't)...enter. It was regretable in many americans eyes that the Germans were being so brutal however it didnt concern the US citizen.
Geo-politically a few inside the US knew it would be bad for the Germans to conquer europe. It must be remembered thouth that the US never declared war on Germany, only on Japan since the Japanese and American Empires were going to clash. Germany declared war on the US hoping that Japan would declare war on the USSR- a fialed gamble.

... I dont like peter jackson since he messed with Tolkiens Books and made an american movie out of it... thats enough to get him disrespect from my side and its not to be forgiven easy by an european mind and admirer of tolkien. You just have to look at the material coming along his dvds and the workshops in it... Getting a deeper look at the person itself he is a man with an ugly soul, only good enough for perverted sick horror movies and big pictures. americans will love this.

You might want to get a bit more info on this before you say something like that. This is not so much of a movie as it is a camera test, its 15 mins long and was shot in just 2 days. It has a simple plot which mainly focuses on providing entertainment rather then facts regarding WWI which is the setting theme. After all, it was just a camera test but Peter Jackson decided to make it a epic camera test. You misplace expectations with this short film since you view it as more then it is
