Hardcore Trailer Brings FPS Action to The Movies
Crowdfunded action movie aims to bring first-person shooters to the big screen
Musician/filmmaker Ilya Naishuller scored a viral hit with the music video for his band Biting Elbows' Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, [http://vimeo.com/62092214] who proposed that Naishuller create a feature film using the same technique.
The resulting film, Hardcore, now has an extended trailer as part of an Call of Duty [https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/hardcore-the-first-ever-action-pov-feature-film] tutorial, features actor Sharlto Copley walking the audience-POV hero through the basics of taking down an entire platoon of heavily-armed henchmen in an abandoned building.
Described as a "modern action sci-fi story" taking place over the course of a single day, the film's plot follows a man recently-resurrected as a cyborg who must rescue his wife/creator from a telekinetic supervillain and his minions. The majority of the project was filmed in Russia using a custom face-mounted camera rig. No release date or distributor has yet been established.
