From DIY Filmmaker to Millionare. Overnight.

I finally found the trailer for Paranormal Activity, the now infamous DIY film shot on a little DV camera that made a splash at Slamdance this past year. I have been driving my friends nuts talking about this film but not being able to show them anything. Here is another great example of using the tools of technology to fit the story in the best possible way. Here is the article below with the trailer (at the link below)!

Dreamworks Buys Paranormal Activity, Plans Remake

"One film that’s already being touted as the next Cloverfield even more so than Cloverfield 2 is the recent Slamdance Film Festival sensation Paranormal Activity: Evidence of a Haunting. The indie, handicam-style haunted house flick, shot in a week’s time by video game designer and upstart director Oren Peli in his own house, has been purchased along with all remake rights by Dreamworks for nearly seven figures. In a stipulation that sealed the deal, Peli will direct the new theatrical version. The studio will most likely release the original film stateside on DVD; IM Global has the international rights.

We’ve got the trailer after the jump. After watching it, I have to say I’m still not convinced, but numerous reviews so far tout that it’s “the scariest flick in years.” The film centers on a couple, played by newcomers Katie Featherstone and Micah Sloat, whose house is haunted by all the tell-tale supernatural bells and whistles, so they decide to film it themselves, sometimes with a tri-pod."
