Alright everyone, drop what you're doing and watch this visually stunning proof of concept trailer for a futuristic sci-fi thriller called Ickerman. Judging by what I've seen here, this project looks like it could be an impressive and awesome film. As you'll see it has a Drive and Blade Runner vibe to it that I really liked. Here's the synopsis:
Taking place in a futuristic megalopolis where new technologies and virtual reality are ruling society, ICKERMAN is an original story following a nostalgic teacher obsessed with 35 mm films and old cars. After a string of disturbing events, he falls into his imaginary world and starts acting like the characters he admires to deliver his best friend from the guru of this digital era.
The movie is set to be directed by French filmmaking duo Raphaël Hernandez and Savitri Joly-Gonfard. Ickerman will be their first feature film. The movie project is still in the process of finding the funding to make it, and the filmmakers are looking to start shooting the full film in 2017.
The trailer you are about to watch was shot in one night in Paris, and the VFX were completed in three months with one VFX artist working on it. On top of that, it was made on a small budget of only 1,000 euro. After you watch it, make sure to let us know what you think!
