Grayson: the movie trailer promo,

Well, it's not a REAL movie, but it should be. In the tradition of Batman: Deadend here is another unique take on the Batman legend.

An older, and maybe wiser Dick Grayson seeks to avenge the death of the Dark Knight; but will marriage survive? Has the boy/man wonder bitten off more than he can chew? And nobody, I mean NOBODY takes a swing at Superman with out consequence.

Really though, this is a great bit of promotional, portfolio padding for an independent film company. The guy playing Dick Grayson is also the director of this 'fake' tailer. Shot entirely on weekends, the this 5 minute trailer cost $18k to make. His methods for keeping costs down included using roomates, friends from work and cousins to fill in as cops, criminals, extras etc. He got some of that back by buying props (lamps, picture frames, clothing) and then returning them after the shoot (smaaaarrrttt). Some of the costumes and props were auctioned off on ebay sometime during the shoot.

It is way worth the download.
