In just a few short days, Blumhouse Tilt and Orion Pictures will release the R-rated thrillerThe Belko Experiment, written and produced byJames Gunnand directed byGreg McLean. A few weeks ago, we showed you an inventiveclaymation short filmset within the world ofThe Belko Experiment, and now with the movie getting set to hit theaters on March 17, another unique video has debuted.James Gunnreached out to Huxley Berg Studios to create a LEGO version of the very first trailer forThe Belko Experiment, and the director took to social media to reveal his approval. Here’s what Huxley Berg Studios had to say in the YouTube description of this video.
“The Belko Experiment comes out March 17, and in anticipation of the films release,James Gunnhimself gave me the task of recreated the film’s trailer in LEGO. I hope you enjoy this fun spin on this new horror/ Thriller film! I had a lot of fun making it and can’t wait to do more trailers for Mr.Gunn! Enjoy.”
Shortly after the video surfaced onYouTubeover the weekend,James Gunntook to his Twitter and Facebook pages to proclaim this video, “The Greatest Thing Of All Time”. The video itself is a rather faithful re-creation of the first trailer, but there are a few fun little references sprinkled in throughout the video. During one scene in the middle of the trailer, which featuresMichael Rooker’s Bud Melks andDavid Dastmalchian’s Lonny Crane, Huxley Berg decided to use a LEGO recreation ofMichael Rooker’sGuardians of the Galaxycharacter Yondu.
