For a hot minute I thought this was a new Marvel Studios production. It’s that good. Watch this fan-made trailer for a fictitious motion picture, Nightcrawler.
In a world where Batman-less Batman films get made (Joker, Clayface), a film like this would be not only a breath of fresh air, but probably a smash hit.
The creator of this visual confection is a Youtuber with the unlikely name of Chris Villain. He’s a singer, and most of his 160+ videos on YouTube are high production value music videos that cover either famous songs from movies, or that delve into any one of a myriad of popular pop culture topics.
All that practice making content for YouTube has given him the talents he needs to pull off something as magnificent as this trailer. It hints at a much bigger story, and I think Kevin Feige needs to take a serious look at this.
From the filmmaker:
Guten Tag @marvel
Where to begin. Rarely has a character meant so much to me and taken over my entire brain the way that Kurt has. Most of which because we both grew up as acrobats and performers, with chosen families. Both in and out of the Catholic Church, trying to find our way. Both never really fitting it, even amongst our own kind.
Having read (near) EVERY comic Nightcrawler appears in, listen to me when I tell you this………KURT HAS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, TRAGIC, and frankly, COMPLETELY UNEXPLORED TIMELINES OF ALL THE X-MEN. He’s also just one of the coolest.
There’s SO MUCH more I have to say and EVEN MORE to show you… but for now I’ll say this: THANK YOU to everyone who has been on this journey with me! As a director, writer, actor, and creator, getting to bring Kurt to life through my own lens has been a privilege and an honor….and I would love the opportunity to continue to do so in the future.Fan-made proof of concept. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Marvel Studios or Disney. Inspired by Marvel Comics.
Now, pardon me. I have to go watch this again.
