Holy Mega Busters: Mega Man movie trailer is incredible photo

Watch this.

Normally I'd be the wrong guy to write about a movie trailer. The problem is that I hate Hollywood and just about anything that comes out of it as far as blockbuster movies go. I'd rather get behind more original works, ones that still aim for creativity and not cash.

This Mega Man film by Eddie Lebron is something I can totally get behind. First off, I've seen a lot of low budget stuff, and this looks fantastic for low budget. But, so far, I love everything about this. The casting, the look, the costumes, um... Roll, Wily's facial expressions -- everything. And, as a musical composer of other fan film soundtracks, I'd give my left nut to work on this one.

Check out Lebron's page for more details on Mega Man and his other works. We can't wait to see this flick. What do you think?

The first shot of Roll makes her look like a guy. But, still... amazing trailer!

Holy Shit.

That's amazing.

How do I get a finished copy?

How do I donate to production cost?

They fucking nailed the teleport!

Holy Shit.

It looks pretty decent. However, i couldnt help but chuckle a bit at certain points in the trailer. Dr. Wileys pretty wisted looking though. :)

still can't tell if this is serious or intentionally trying to be hilarious.

if this is cereal, then pardon me for interrupting the fap-fest, but that was terrible. the 'costumes-by-walmart' production design i can forgive (hey, it's low budget), but the terrible acting and wily's hilarious accent make this a joke.

and no, i'm not some halo-addicted 12-yr old. i grew up on the nes, and the mega man series is one of my favorites, but if you're trying to drag some dramatic story out of it, then you're doing it wrong.

Wow!! I was expecting amateur night but got pure gold!! That was awesome and absolutely hate the fact that that movie doesn't actually exist. That is basically how a movie based on a video game should be!!

Great job to the creators!!

Eh... trailer for the "official movie"? Is it just me or does this look like a b-grade fan film? Crap is crap, no matter how you polish it.

Holy shit that is amazing. Much better than anything Hollywood would do with a Mega Man movie.

That said, cue cease and desist order from Capcom's lawyers in 3...2...

Did you notice the 8-bit Mega Man face behind Wily towards the end? Looked like the one from the old boss select screens. Nice touch.

@ BeZen:

I'm pretty sure the music is from either Batman Begins or The Dark Knight.

@aclockworkmelon: it's the official TRAILER for the movie, not necessarily the official movie.

Now, the important part: did anybody else see Rock playing an NES? Watch it again if you need to, it's near the end.

I guess when Hollywood produces a video game film, it's crap. When indie film makers do it, it's good. Do I have that about right?
UmarifficCKizzle's Avatar

Definitely say that Zero Atma. Nice little reference to the original series. This looks like a fun movie, and one I would definitely buy if it ever is released on DVD. Good or great? Maybe not so much...but it definitely looks like fun, though that could just be the nostalgia talking.

Also, I really liked the Cut Man costume, though it's a little reminiscent of Bumblebee from Transformers...don't know if that's a good or bad thing.

I thought that was decently impressive, despite the cheesy looking robots and the comical acting, it has some promise.

@Sueng

When Hollywood has millions of dollars and resources to pull from, and they make something unrecognizable or unfaithful to the original IP, yep, that's crap.

When "a dude in his basement" makes a non-profit fan film with not even close to the millions in resources, and its instantly recognizable as understanding the source material, yep, that's good.

So you were kinda close. :)

Hopefully the guy will get some sort of backing so that it doesn't suck later.

looks fake, the Zelda trailer the other year had better production value, and just about everything else, the only good parts in this i saw was the scene with mega man porting into the street, and the close ups of the reploids faces, wily was OK
