Overview

Synopsis

A man and his beloved .45 stalk the mythical American West, with its wide sky, a wind that dries the soul, a rocky spine under a cruel sun, and dead-end towns littering the landscape.

A waitress in one of those towns tells us that someday the man in her dreams will find her - just after that the man and his gun walk into her roadside diner. But this man is a killer, his victims a seemingly random collection of American clichés. And she seems too in love with him to suspect.

But when he gives up his gun for her, we think that maybe he means it, that maybe she is safe, that as they drive off into the proverbial sunset, we could be forgiven for hoping that love can still redeem the world.

these filmmakers have taken enormous risks, gotten away with them and are making a movie that is completely original, and as familiar as an old shoe -

Well shot trailer. Story line is enticing in the fact that the Trailer does not give the whole story away up front leaving you with the aniticipation of which direction it acutally takes. Great actors and visually appealing.

the opening title sequence was beautiful. and the startled bubble added a sense of reality to the whole thing. these guys have a strong sense of composition and i wish them all the best.

Very cinematic. I would see this type of project in the theatres. Terrific cast and a very interesting and complex story. Well done!

Levi C.

Sexy....but at this stage, this project's ratings reflect the viability of the story and it's marketability.

This project is interesting but the trailer is slow and does not grab attention adequately to sustain interest. Even his entry to the bathroom with the gun behind his back did little to spark suspense as it is clear from the outset that the girl would not die so soon into the movie. I wish we understood a little more of her motivation in the trailer to add more interest. It is still a movie I think i would like to see.

Is having the lead actress fart in the bathtub really the best endnote for a pitch?
I can't tell if this is a gritty crime drama or a comedy...

Nice music, but the story kinda made me sad, I dont think it is going to end well...

Jess P.

I think the plot seems cool, the car is definitely cool, so I wonder how this will turn out. From the trailer, it looks like a good film.

Charles S.

I wanted to rate this concept higher but the dialogue really puts me off.

Josh G A.
Posted 5 months ago

this is among the more stylish and well photographed projects. its less dark and dreary then the others gun toting projects. it looks like it might have a chance at being interesting and not cliche.

I got a little creeped out, you never know a person and what they do when your not around. The way he is so calm, it's just creepy, but then, maybe that is the point. Great trailer.

Jeff K.

Minus the fart joke, fantastic trailer! I'm hooked. Not sure if the guy is hung over and can't remember a damn thing from last night or if he has deeper seeded mental issues..............but he has a gun so it has to turn out ok, right? LOL

Inderjeet R.

the story is really hard to follow

Luke M.

Odd trailer, but main characters.... maybe?

Sunny K.
Posted 5 months ago

Hm. Interested, but not sure the genre you listed this film as is captured in this trailer. The fart bit made it seem like you were going for parody and not thriller... but maybe that's the line you are looking to walk, which could also be a refreshing change from the usual boy-stalks-girl story.

Zachary A.
Posted 5 months ago

I have no way of knowing the plot to this movie. From what I can see, its nothing groundbreaking.

Cat R.
Posted 5 months ago

This trailer was put together well. Your leading female is very striking, like Elizabeth Taylor striking.

Tyler S.
Posted 5 months ago

This trailer confused me at first; it was a hodgepodge of different clips put together until about the half way mark when it all came together. I began to understand that the plot seems to be about decisions of a psychopathic killer. Then she farted in the tub, and that was the weirdest thing I have ever seen. I just hope you weren’t trying to be funny with that one because it was just beyond weird. Fall definitely knows cinematography, the time-lapse shots are impressive and I’m really glad you included them color grading of the “daydreams” was gorgeous and the tub scene was just weird. Overall the trailer kept me interesting, why did you include the tub scene, however the ending could have been more powerful than “Once upon a time I fell in love” because you lost it after the tub scene.

Leanne B.
Posted 5 months ago

I would of liked a shot of how they met. Maybe her desperation to meet someone which would help audience understand why she would be drawn to not very nice man. I don't really get the significance of the fart. Seem like an odd couple. He's a bit serious and she is a bit childlike. I didn't find either character interesting. The movie synopsis makes me want to watch more then the trailer does. Great job shooting, the scenes are well done, the action shots well done, acting very good.

Cheryl G.

This preview doesn't give me enough information to know what the movie is about. :o(

Michelle G.
Posted 5 months ago

This trailer has some wonderful cinematography and a great use of timing. I love how it flips from one aspect of the character's life to his current reality and even how he can imagine how he SHOULD respond to his current situation, then love seems to hit him by surprise. The actors here seem top notch and so does the directing. The reason for my low rating is that I found this to be a really good scene from a movie, but not so much a trailer. I could see this as a great "teaser" but as a promotion for a film that I know nothing about, I don't think it's as well developed as it could be.

Virginia W.
Posted 5 months ago

I really like the film concept, but the trailer is too minimalist--it doesn't tell us anything or get us excited, but rather just shows different shots of the protagonist with a gun.

Lianna W.
Posted 5 months ago

Awesome photography. This has got my attention!

Donal O.
Posted 5 months ago

One of the most marketable stories is the redemption story. This has some 50 shades of grey" running through the plot. The unfeeling bad guy saved by love.

This team and plot have a lot of potential. More than shines through in the trailers. The writing seems to be pretty good and the filming great.

Dawn E.

Weird

Kristina E.

Well, the trailer kind if left me hanging a bit on the story line. I did laugh pretty hard at her passing gas in the tub, and as silly as it sounds, it made me want to watch more!

Donald Y.
Posted 6 months ago

The timing is really bad on this. While it may be a suitable concept, by talented filmmakers, it surely has to be poor timing with all the death & violence in Boston. And the theatre owners are asking for more PG-13 in Las Vegas. Last year's concept could be this year's disaster.

Jared E.

Soooo..... The cinematography looks great, and it seems like it could be an interesting 'Bonnie & Clyde'-esque story. But that fart joke (while I admit it made me chuckle) makes me worry a little. It seemed very out of place in the trailer.

Brian H.
Posted 7 months ago

The synopsis provides a subtle hint regarding the direction of this (possibly) tragic story.
Hoping for the unobtainable is sometimes the most seductive form of hope.
The trailer hits pretty close to home this message.
If done right, the movie may blur the line between what is on screen, and what is sitting in the theatre chairs.

It is a rare and therefore precious thing to find a story that challenges ones expectations. It is clear that The Fall is a film that would share something unique and strangely beautiful to an audience that its creators clearly respect. The suspense and mystery is crafted masterfully in this trailer. The music is killer, and the actors are hauntingly unusual and funny. I can't wait til this movie gets made!

Nina F.

I'm tired of violence.

Attila M.
Posted 7 months ago

A very intriguing query as to why and what on earth the women sees in the trigger happy nut job.
From the trailer alone, very unique cinematography, transitions and use of dialogue.
No explosions, witty one-liners, or the convenience of overdone special effects. This movie knows what it is and wants to show itself as- A dark, engaging and subtle story and looks like a good one at that. It seems that it also doesn't' look like it shy's to far from a bit of humor. The Cohen brothers would be proud :)

Jack G.
Posted 7 months ago

Playing around with the idea of clichés in romances, this movie has the potential to be a visual and mental delight. The simplicity and repetition of the few lines that were presented in the trailer, reinforced with captivating usage of camera angles and flashy transitions presented a story that is mysterious and alluring. I would love to see this movie funded, and of course, in theatres.
