Here’s a trailer for this weekend’s Red Dead Redemption “short film”, which believe it or not has been done by John Hillcoat, director of The Road and, more importantly, The Proposition.

I say “believe it or not” because it doesn’t look any different to the regular trailers for the game. Whether that’s a limitation of machinima – the use of in-game assets to create a film – or a pat on the back for Rockstar’s marketers I’m not sure, but when a talented Hollywood director (with Western pedigree, no less) is attached to something like this, you hope for something a little more
Then again, who knows, the final 30-minute “film” may surprise us all!
