The Island

I've spent the past week working on my trailer for Hartman's class. I chose to do a trailer based on the movie The Island because of a few reasons.


1. Most people haven't heard about it. Part of this is because DreamWorks, the U.S Distributer, did a terrible job advertising it. It really failed in U.S theaters, but did extremely well overseas where it was distributed and advertised by Warner Bros.
2. Its a Michael Bay film that isn't at all like the stereotypical Michael Bay film (though there are still explosions, but not overdone)
3. It raises tons of great questions about morals, what life is worth, and how far is too far with various science/medical technologies (can't say much more without giving things away).




If you haven't seen The Island, I definitely recommend you check it out.

  1. I do really like this movie. It is a lot better than Michael Bay's other films; it actually has a purpose beyond seeing Megan Fox bend over a car.

  2. Great job on the trailer Josiah. It actually got me interested in a Michael Bay film and that take some doing. :)
