A trailer for The Shining that somehow fails to capture the spirit of the movie

http://www.ps260.com/molly/SHINING%20FINAL.mov

The site's a bit slow, so be patient.

It's so... uplifting!

Charlatan · 09-30-2005, 07:16 AM

Fathers and sons... sometimes all it take is a little solitude to bring them back together.

Temporary_User · 09-30-2005, 09:53 PM

since that's a parody......i dont get it.
Ive never seen this movie (im young give me a break you old fogeys) but it seems like a good one, so ill see it soon.
you guys can ask me in future threads about the movie or something, to test to see if i watch it.

I'll give you a break, that's OK. "The Shining" is a classic horror film, based on a Stephen King novel of the same name. The song is "Solsbury Hill" by Peter Gabriel.

Temporary_User... get thee out and rent The Shining. It is a must watch on my list of films. It is a classic.

Jay Francis · 10-01-2005, 07:29 AM

Some things are just so clever, they have to be shared. I sent this to everyone I know.

Zeraph · 10-01-2005, 01:37 PM

That's great. It just goes to show how set ups (like music and editing) can strongly influence us without realizing it.

cellophanedeity · 10-01-2005, 02:20 PM

Read the book instead of the movie. The movie is boring.

And Salisbury Hill can make anything happy!

Bacchanal · 10-01-2005, 05:17 PM

I wouldn't go as far as saying the movie is boring, but the book is at least 1000x better.

I would never have watched the movie if that were the trailer I saw beforehand.

Redlemon · 10-03-2005, 06:20 AM

OK, I just found out that the same people who did this did trailers for West Side Story and Titanic (downloading now, haven't seen them).

Also, they got a writeup in <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/30/movies/30shin.html?ex=1128744000&en=fd2592b413260d3d&ei=5070&emc=eta1">the New York Times</a>:

Quote:

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 29 — Robert Ryang, 25, a film editor’s assistant in Manhattan, graduated from Columbia three years ago with a double major in film studies and psychology. This week, he got an eye-opening lesson in both.

Since 2002, Mr. Ryang has worked for one of the owners of P.S. 260, a commercial postproduction house, cutting commercials for the likes of Citizens Bank, Cingular and the TriBeCa Film Festival.

A few weeks back, he said, he entered a contest for editors’ assistants sponsored by the New York chapter of the Association of Independent Creative Editors. The challenge? Take any movie and cut a new trailer for it — but in an entirely different genre. Only the sound and dialogue could be modified, not the visuals, he said.

Mr. Ryang chose “The Shining,” Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 horror film starring Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall. In his hands, it became a saccharine comedy — about a writer struggling to find his muse and a boy lonely for a father. Gilding the lily, he even set it against “Solsbury Hill,” the way-too-overused Peter Gabriel song heard in comedies billed as life-changing experiences, like last year’s “In Good Company.”

Mr. Ryang won the contest, and about 10 days ago, he said, he sent three friends a link to a “secret site” on his company’s Web site where they could watch his entry (www.ps260.com/molly/SHINING%20FINAL.mov).

One of them, Mr. Ryang said, posted it on his little-watched blog. And that was that. Until this week, when he was hit by a tsunami of Internet interest.

On Wednesday, Mr. Ryang said, his secret site got 12,000 hits. By Thursday the numbers were even higher, his film was being downloaded and linked to on countless other sites, it had cracked the top 10 most popular spoofs on www.ifilm.com, and a vice president at a major Hollywood studio had called up his office, scouting for new talent.

“He said it’s being circulated everywhere in the film community,” Mr. Ryang said of the executive, not wanting to name the man for fear of alienating him. “He wanted to know who I was, and if I had any creative ideas. I told him I’d put together a reel.”

Mr. Ryang said that he was blown away by the experience, and that his boss wasn’t exactly angry, despite the computer system’s nearly having crashed, because of all the attention he had won for P.S. 260.

Though, it seems, the attention was directed more specifically at Mr. Ryang — who is suddenly being forced to rethink his future as an assistant.

“People have been calling producers here, asking about who made it,” he said. “I really didn’t realize how fast the world moves.”

Charlatan · 10-03-2005, 07:02 AM

Hollywood is always starving for the "next big thing". If this guy is any good he has just taken a short cut to steady work and amazing pay.

Slavakion · 10-03-2005, 07:06 AM

The Titanic one is recut to look like a horror movie. Pretty good, but I like the recut of The Shining better. Something about it is just genious.

Agreed; I think that the West Side Story faux-trailer was better than the Titanic one, but The Shining was by far the best.

That was great. The power of musical editing.
One of my favorite movies of alltime.

That was FANTASTIC. So funny and creative. I love it. Thanks very much for posting it. You made my day.

CSflim · 10-04-2005, 11:26 AM

Just watched the other two which were pretty good. Any one got any more?

Charlatan · 10-04-2005, 11:37 AM

Is it just me or is the movie equivalent of the Smash Up?

They are all coming off of the same site. Here's what Google finds: site:http://www.ps260.com - Google Search.

The directory http://www.ps260.com/molly/ looks promising.

FngKestrel · 10-13-2005, 03:28 PM

Damn, I've seen that trailer like 5 times and it always makes me chuckle.
