Dead Rising Movie Trailer Is Bizarre Like Whoa

All you need to know about the Dead Rising movie trailer: It puts chainsaws on a wheelchair, it uses first-person camera, and it is completely incomprehensible.

I. Um, okay. I am really at a loss for words here, guys. I honestly have no idea what to make of this.

The above trailer comes from a page on the Capcom Japan website, and apparently details a low-budget film that looks to be about four people in a warehouse killing zombies with the cheesiest makeup and special effects you could imagine. I don't know what's going on, except there are first-person elements (at least Doom was based off of, you know, a first-person shooter) and then there's a scene where there are multiple weapons attached to a wheelchair including a chainsaw or five.

In fact, my initial hunch is that this isn't an actual movie trailer at all, but rather something that Capcom just threw together to promote the upcoming Dead Rising 2, since trailers have shown protagonist Chuck Greene slapping dual chainsaws-on-a-stick onto a motorcycle. At least, I hope it's not an actual movie trailer. Frankly, I don't know.

On the other hand, Joystiq informs us that the full title of the movie actually translates to "Death Disease Contamination Dead Rising," which is kind of an epic name for a film. Maybe they can reuse the title for an actual movie that doesn't look like it was put together in a week as a gag by Capcom employees.

Or maybe it wasn't. Maybe this is a real flick directed by Dead Rising big shot Keiji Inafune. I don't know anymore.

What a way to start your Tuesday.

perhaps its fan made and capcom just wanted to promote it, its not unheard of, valve does it from time to time.

Well.....

At least it isn't an attempt to make Left 4 Dead a movie.

It's possible it might be a gag... I hope so anyway. Either that, or as swaki pointed out, maybe it's fanfic that Capcom's promoting.... at least I hope.

Ive seen a lot of movies from Japan that look just like this, its not fake... Oh god does this look bad...

Looks something Like Tokyo Gore Police, just completely off-the-wall and as gory as a butchers on delivery day.

...

Isn't that the warehouse from Indiana Jones?

The one with the Ark of the Covonant in it?

Or am I just seeing things as a result from this trailer?

You know what?

I think it looks better than the Prince of Persia trailer.

Because that trailer sucked

Dude...

What?...

Whatever it is...I still don't want the game.

I AM SICK OF ZOMBIES!

Even if I can killed them with a "flaming-chainsaw-shooting minigun", it would just bore the fuck out of me.

How about a flaming chainsaw shooting minigun with tits that are also on fire?

What a total POS. Its amateur hour!

I'll watch that, it looks pretty awesome =D

He's right, some japanese movies ARE like this, this is disturbing.
I seriously hope this is NOT a serious stab by Capcom.

Am I the only person on this sight who cannot speak japanese or summat.....?
looked pretty funny apert from the whole language barrier thing.

Touche. Pretend that e at the end is fancy. I don't know the alt-combination for that and I'm too damn lazy to open up the character map to look for it.

Chainsaws on a wheelchair...

BRILLIANT!

Why didn't I think of that?

*adds it to the zombie survival guide*

I don't know any alt combinations.

Alt + e, at least in the EU.

And wow, that was a terrible trailer. DEAD RISHING!

Playing Dead Rising in a trailer for the movie Dead Rising?! WHAT?!

If it didn't work in Double Dragon, it won't work here.

no i liked that.

ofcourse it can't do right to the game, but still it makes a pretty good attempt.

Onyx Oblivion:

Here's one: ñ (that's alt + 1,6,4). And damn, your avatar is so hypnotic...

The trailer reminds me of this one scene from Akumetsu, though the rider of the wheelchair in this one did not receive grievous bodily harm.

It looks like a bad, slightly higher than average movie, end of your student film with no relationship to the game, unless the Japanese version of this game is hugely different that what we got to play

-M

Whoa...he he he whoa I mean, alright I'm kinda curious.

Teh Blasta:
Well.....

Actually, there was a Left 4 Dead movie. They just called it 'Zombieland' so people wouldn't think it was a crappy vidjagame film.

Still beats the ODST trailer.

Pretty sure this is just a campy advert for Dead Rising 2, gang.

wow that looks bad O_O

Maybe it's just a meant to stir up some DR 2 game enthusiasm. A cheap web commercial with a viral outcome is a billion times more cost effective than a bland Tv commercial which costs tons...

I guess brest word I can use for this is...unique? lol

if this is a gag I wouldn't be surprised; I will say if this were a real movie they at least have the sensibility to a) not take it seriously and b) have fun with it. Another hilarious Japanese zombie movie that's absolutely hilarious is Tokyo Zombie

That makes NO sense whatsoever.

It looks like a home-made job... I hope they're just attempting to do what EA did with Dante's Inferno with the weird marketing etc!

That's too bad. I'm seriously a B-Movie fan. It would have been deliciously awful. :(
