Film Genre Remix

Another mash up trend affecting trailers everywhere (other than Brokeback Mountain theme) is the genre remix. Here is the recipe: take footage from an iconic genre film (horror seems to be the flavour of the day) and recut a trailer for it to make it seem like the film is from a completely different genre ("feel good movie of the year" is usually the goal). In order to achieve this, record a new voice over track, sprinkle liberally with Peter Gabriel's Salisbury Hill and let simmer. Here are a few I've come across: Element 1: The Shining Element 2: New voice over and music Equals: The Shining Remixed Artist: P.S. 260 Element 1: Apocalypse Now Element 2: New voice over and music Equals: Apocalypse Now Remixed Artist: Unknown Element 1: Silence of the Lambs Element 2: New voice over and music Equals: Silence of the Lambs Remixed Artist: Jeff Pfaller Element 1: Se7en Element 2: New voice over and music (and a bit of Brokeback for good measure) Equals: Se7en Remixed Artist: Neohuman Productions Thanks to Jeff, Shig and Sasha.
