Lost In Translation
With word breaking a couple weeks back that the release of big budget Russian horror film Viy - a remake of the film of the same name, based on a novel by Nikolai Gogol - had been pushed back to 2009 to coincide with Gogol’s 200th birthday one thing was sure: all of the old promo materials needed to be re-done. And they have been, which isn’t that exciting in most cases but it does mean a new trailer, filled with new shots. This one - like the last one - is dominantly in English, which tells you all you need to know about their marketing plans, and once again shows off the bizarre, yet compelling, blend of high end production values and raw camp. I still have no idea if this is going to be brilliant or a horrible mess but I can’t wait to see it.
