THE LAST BLOCKBUSTER Director Taylor Morden Is Recruiting Fans to Remake BACK TO THE FUTURE PART II During the Quarantine
Throughout the craziness that has taken place this past week, I have seen a lot of creativity from so many sources. One director is taking on a fun project and is inviting fans to get in on the fun. Taylor Morden, director of the documentary The Last Blockbuster, has decided to remake the classic film Back to the Future Part II using clips that fans send in covering approximately one minute each of the film.
It’s called “Project 88” because the film is cut into 88 segments. Fans can sign up at BTTFtoo.com, and they can make the movie in any form, like acting, claymation, puppets, whatever. Morden will then cut the scenes together and release the film for all to see. It sounds like so much fun!
Here’s a statement from Morden:
In this time of quarantine and self isolation, we wanted to come up with a fun creative project that people could do to work together towards a common goal.
The website says:
This is meant to be a creative outlet during the social distancing and self quarantining of 2020, please don't get groups together (except virtually) to make these, just work with what you have. Stay safe and have fun!
Here are the official rules:
Each person/team will be assigned 1 segment of the film between 40 and 100 seconds in length. You can split up your scene virtually among your friends if you'd like. ie; have different people film different shots. But you are responsible for all of the time you sign up for.
No changing the script. You will be sent a video clip of the scene. Try to recreate each shot as it is seen in the original movie. However feel free to change up characters/props using what you have... ie; there's no reason Doc can't be played by a 3 year old girl as long as she can say the lines.
You can use any medium you like, including Live Action, Animation, Claymation, Stop Motion, Puppets, etc. Get creative! Bonus points for including your pets.
Once all of the scenes are taken, the clock starts ticking! we will have 1 week to complete these scenes. Please don't sign up if you don't think you can meet the deadline.
Join the Facebook group so we can all chat about the project.
