Post-apocalyptic thriller PLAGUE YEAR by Jeff Carlson

[baseballdude1998]

that guy who got hit by the shovel is OK, he's just sleeping with his eyes open

[ziasyn]

this looks great to be honest not sure if i could run that distance in a day but I sure as hell would give it a try

[alcaminhante]

What a fascinating trailer !!! Now i need to get my hands on the books...

[Worgash]

thrash....filmed in a winterholiday?

[planaut]

looks like that old man really got hurt there. took a beating theres bad peeps on the alps i'll stay down here in the flat lands thanks

[GreatestCriminalMind]

@planaut Aha ha ha. Yeah, I get mean when I'm hungry... ;)

[KopparbergAtWar]

Plague Year was awesome, really looking forward to more!

[GreatestCriminalMind]

@KopparbergAtWar

Thanks, dude! I like to think the books get bigger and better throughout the trilogy, and the novel I'm working on now is another step up itself. That's what storytelling is all about, right? Ambition and execution.

I hope "Plague War" knocks the eyeballs right out of your head. ;)

[KopparbergAtWar]

@GreatestCriminalMind I am bloody sure about that!

[Guns4Hire]

REALLY GREAT TRAILER!!! Just got done with Plague Year and thought it was great. A real page burner. Read it in about a day. I read the synopsis and to be honest it sounded a bit over-done. Like trying to pick something dramatic for an easy sell. You know like how the movie guys do their oscar films (oh lets do this we will win an oscar for sure). Thought probably a bit on the boring side. Not sure why I thought this but thats what popped into my head. CONTINUED:

[Guns4Hire]

But no biggie I was just looking for something to fill up a little bit of my late Friday evening before bed. BOY WAS I WRONG. While the first few chapters didn't snatch me up and actually made me think my first instinct about the book was correct. Boy did the book get going after that. Since it was Friday and I didn't have to work this weekened I just read all night. Then went to sleep this morning. My wife was a bit annoyed with me when I got up at just after 12. :)

[Uberflaven]

I had a long list of books to obtain...now I have one more (well actually 2 more). Damn... :)

[sean695380]

wow thats scary

[ChildOfTheHive]

I really like this trailer. It certainly did its job; I'm now interested in the book.

[lil0romeo]

i really liked this book.

amateurs

[ATiredDogsMouth]

The nanotech in the book is not very very real. Its very stupid.

[dmoneyproductions1]

you my Dog, are retarded. Ever heard of something called Google?

[ATiredDogsMouth]

Yep. Ever heard of Eric Drexler or Ray Kurzweil?

[GreatestCriminalMind]

Easy, guys. Dmoney, it's totally fair for him not to like the story idea. Some people don't.

TiredDog, of course I've read Drexler. In fact, half a dozen real-life researchers signed off on PLAGUE YEAR and had a good time with it, too. It's not a science paper; it's a thriller novel & meant to be scary and fun, nothing more. Sorry if you were offended.

Wex5, I don't understand "amateurs" as a slight? We're on YouTube. If Ridley Scott shot this thing we'd be in theaters, right? :)

[Adom]

I just don't get the amatuer reference at all. I though the video was really well put together. The plane crash was a little less than stellar, but I've worse on the Sci-Fi channel...or is it the Sy-Fy channel?

[GreatestCriminalMind]

Thanks, Adom! We were a three-man team who put this video together for less than $300 (on YouTube no less, hardly a major theatrical release), so, yeah, I'm still puzzled over the sneer of "amateurs" and the bazillion negative votes they've put on this page.

I figure we're dealing with some single young guys with waaaay too much time on their hands and needlessly large chips on their shoulders. It's just sad.

Thanks again. Indeed, there have been some gawd awful effects on SyFy...  ;)

[ElGreyback]

@Adom

I am with you, this didn't look like an amateur short at all. I for one am surprise they pulled it off for under $300

[skinhitters]

Cool Concept.......

I like it...

C-Will

[hyperdude144]

I WANT THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[musukowarui]

sembra l'alter ego di darth veder catapultato in harry potter!

[elbowsonthetable]

I read Plague Year. Great story and this trailer is perfect. Hey Jeff, that's you in the yellow coat! Nice work.

[FallingMule]

Never heard of these books but now I'm gonna have to check them out. I love "apocalypse/ end of world" stories. Awesome trailer!

[meetmattbrowne]

Excellent trailer!

Greetings,

Matt Browne, author of the science fiction novel The Future Happens Twice

[samsevern]

WOW!!! This would make a GREAT MOVIE!...Beautifully done, man! Five ***** Stars!

[anirose08]

I heard about these books on the StarShipSofa podcast. It sounds pretty cool!

[7773ujjd991kkdfd]

Wow. Now this looks good! I can't wait to read the book but now I want to see it as a feature length movie too!

[TheNewKeybearer]

Looks very good.

And it sounds like Tay Zonday at the end. I wonder...

[GalaxyPress]

I read this book and it was awesome! Really hooked me. Tightly written with an original concept. I can highly recommend it!

Go, Jeff.

[crocogater]

I'm taking survival classes after watching that.

[HowlyD7]

And stocking up on A1 Sauce!!!

[GreedoHut]

Whooa. That;s all I can say. Whoa. That looks really, really cool!!!!

[Kidneymt]

Great vid.....and love the jacket!

[HowlyD7]

Frightening, new and weird! I like it! Yes, bring on the major motion picture!

[123jeffo]

dude.. my name is Jeff Carlson :0 WE STRIKE AT DAWN

[22mello]

Great trailer! When can I expect to see this on the big screen?

[JohnBG088]

Wow, thats nuts!!!

[jwkile6]

Scared the hell out of me. Great story idea and couldn't be written better. Plague Wars is next on my reading list. By the way, some of my mates,who are not usually science fiction fans, were hooked by Plague Year. Jeff, your the MAN.

[bpectel]

Plague Year was page after page of literary excellence. Incomparable story telling by a master. I sit and wait impatiently for Plague War.

[Gaileeford]

We love your warped creative brain....fabuloso!!

[lynchglen]

Excellent video! Plague Year was amazing, and I can't wait for Plague War. Also looking forward to the Hollywood premier. Or perhaps the San Francisco premier? Last comment: Would you go with a Cabernet, or a nice Chardonnay when serving aged whitey thigh?

[kpectelidis]

Awesome cuz! I loved Plague Year!  Can't wait to get my hands on a copy of Plague War!

[bri918wil]

Well done Jeff! Your mind is perfectly warped. Can't wait for Plague War. I agree with above, when are we going to see it on the big screen?

[aliettedb]

Very fun video (if somewhat scary. I certainly couldn't make it to the nearest mountains :) )

[MarcusND4]

Cook him and eat him! Cook him and eat him!

[fridasdali]

Acting and writing chops, Watch out Hollywood! Truly a kick butt look insie a brilliant visionary mind. One can't help but be drawn to crave more. Can't wait to read the 2nd book. Kudos to Jeff.

[lamassu81]

It was fun making this with Jeff. He's seriously got more energy than a room full of ADD kids on sugar pills.

I hope ya'll get a chance to check out the books!

Cheers!

Adad

[MadDawg099]

You MADE this movie with that guy!?!?

[lamassu81]

yes i did. And we had a great time doin it too!

[shawnogram]

He gonna eat that dude.

[forestlover1]

SCARY Serious Issues! Well done! I want to see the movies too!

[Big1Jaws]

Freak out!!!!

[COMountainMan77]

Fun video Jeff! Can't wait for Plague War!

[marcialucille]

Cool!!! Not a bad acting job.

[malea841]

hey, jeff, my second attempt. yes, you are a madman! have you SERIOUSLY considered acting? loved the missile and shovel scenes! BEST OF LUCK TO YOU!

[t2intense]

Jeff, Loved it!!

[azelles]

Well done, Jeff and crew! Cheesy, quirky, stream-lined script and perfect delivery. Did you paste the bird in, too?

[momquote]

Jeff, loved the video. Could see a movie in the future. Scary stuff.

[fukitutube]

I loved "Plague Year" and simply cannot wait to get my hands on a copy of "Plague War". This video really captures the feel of the book. Awesome!

[micah139]

Wow! The video really makes the book come alive! I can't wait until the second one comes out!

[NanitesQuark]

Superb, Scary, and to the point video all rolled into one! I have been a student of Molecular Nanotechnology now for over ten years, and it is very real, assemblers are in the process of being developed. The question is, will it lead to a wondrous near utopia, a horrific ruination, or somewhere in between, a mix of both? Let's stay tuned for Plague War and hope this is transformed into a movie!

[MadDawg099]

Wow, heavy.  And true!!!

[wahoodaddy]

Frickin' awesome. The book rocked, can't wait for the NEW ONE! And a MOVIE!!!

[BrennanHarvey]

What a clever idea for a novel! This is so high concept that Hollywood can't ignore it. I'm looking forward to reading this one!

[greenjosephine]

Good trailer! I can't wait for Plague War to come out. The characters from Plague Year really stayed with me.

[geirla1]

Great video, Jeff. Who's that guy you brained?

[jeffquiros]

PLAGUE YEAR is an awesome thriller - looking forward to reading PLAGUE WAR and a MOVIE some day very soon!

[PKellyPK]

This is sooooo cool. Can't wait for a whole movie. I loved Plague Year, and can't wait to read Plague War. My family will have to count me down and out for a few hours. Awesome.

[Punchcado]

Jeff Carlson is the new name for high-octane, edge of your seat thrills!

[antman5567]

Plague Year was an excellent and gripping story that left me waiting for the sequel. I am so happy to see by this trailer that Plague War is here. I am hitting the weights to prepare for the nanolypse!

[JohnGalaxy]

This is a great trailer and helps explain the thought process to this cool story. This proves that a good trailer will help sell a book.

[chrisbalck]

Great trailer setting the table for Plague War! The real question is when will Hollywood jump on board and make these books into films?

[MadDawg099]

I just came back to watch this thing again, and all I can say is "No kidding!" Imagine what you could do with this with a BUDGET!

[misterlawyer]

That shiznit is scary!

[MadDawg099]

Oh, man! Ouch! I wouldn't want to run into that guy in a dark alley!!! :)
