Incredible Trailer Teases Neill Blomkamp’s Experimental Project ‘Oats: Volume 1’
Adapt or die. It’s as simple as that.
Neill Blomkamp, the man behind District 9 and Chappie, recently began teasing that he’d be making original, experimental short films available for purchase on Steam, which would serve as test concepts for potential features. We now know that he’s dubbed the venture Oats Studios, and the first wave of shorts just got a teaser trailer.
The 70-second trailer for “Oats: Volume 1” highlights an ongoing battle between humans and otherworldly creatures, and it has a certain Alien feel to it – interesting given that Blomkamp recently pitched a sequel to Aliens that will presumably never get made. Even more interesting is that Sigourney Weaver pops up in the trailer, seemingly playing a Ripley-esque character. Perhaps the experimental venture is allowing Blomkamp to scratch that Alien itch.
Check out the trailer below and look for “Oats: Volume 1” in the coming months.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
