A Nerd’s Crusade: Watch The Trailer For ‘Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie’

It’s been some time since I’ve checked out the work of James Rolfe, the Angry Video Game Nerd. What I just witnessed however has reinvigorated my love for the man, and I’ll be catching up with him and his reviews the moment I get home from work.

Rolfe and friend Kevin Finn have teamed up to independently produce a feature length entry into the Angry Video Game Nerd universe, and it looks mind-blowingly hilarious. I don’t want to give anything away, so I’ll just say that the film deals with a certain worst game of all time, and Rolfe’s quest to disprove the myths that have surrounded it for the past 30 years.

Watch the trailer below, and let us know what you think! Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie is expected to complete sometime in 2013.

Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie” is a passion project by independent filmmakers James Rolfe and Kevin Finn, based on the popular web series. The film is being produced outside the studio system, entirely funded by fan donations. Principle photography took place in Spring of 2012, in the Los Angeles area, with Jason Brewer as the DP. Additional filming is taking place on the East Coast. Editing is in its early stages.

The film is inspired by the famous Atari video game burial of 1982. Atari produced a game based on the biggest blockbuster movie of that year, E.T., and rushed it to meet the deadline for the Christmas shopping season. It was a commercial failure and millions of unsold game cartridges were buried in a desert landfill in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Coincidentally, it’s not too far from Roswell, the landing site of a different kind of E.T.

The Trailer features music by Bear McCreary (Battlestar Gallactica, The Walking Dead). The track is called “Maverick Regeneration” and can be downloaded as part of the Play for Japan album. All proceeds go to help earthquake victims in Japan.

The film is expected to be completed in the summer of 2013, but only time will tell. Independent films take a long time to finish. This one is no exception. It’s eventually expected to be released on DVD and/or Blu-ray, and to be available around the world, after showing to some live audiences in theater venues. Digital downloads is also an option. The immediate goal is to finish the film first.
