Overlooked

All right, I’m a little late to the party here, but this is such an amazing piece of work, it’s best to share. The Tattered Coat gives us the lowdown on Robert Ryang’s reimagined promo for The Shining, one of my favorite movies. If you’ve ever been creeped out by Kubrick’s dark masterpiece, watch the delightfully heartwarming trailer below and those bad ol’ memories will just melt away like snowflakes.

It’s already been passed all around via email and other websites and even received the “gift” of a recent NY Times article. Mr. Ryang has since been approached by men wearing sport jackets, baseball caps, Rolexes and flip flops who’ve been offering him trillion-dollar deals to direct/write/edit the kind of crap the trailer is a parody of. Good for him!

Note: apparently a lot of mainstream sites and douchebags have hotlinked to the trailer at Tattered Coat and Waxy.org. Do the other blogs a favor and download it here so you don’t eat up their bandwidth.
