I have been having a ridiculously enjoyable time playing Red Dead Redemption — last night was the first time I was able to ride around with friends (a posse, if you wish) and explore the landscape while encountering bandits, mountain lions, and having shootouts with fellow players from around the US. It’s a great game.
This is all to say that the folks behind the game had John Hillcoat (Director of The Road and one of my personal favorites, The Proposition) put together a 30-minute machinima “short film” using the game itself. Haven’t watched it in it’s entirety yet, but thought some of you might find it interesting.
[If you haven’t played the game, though — and you intend to — you probably should avoid watching the movie… there are some spoilers inside.]
