From the maker of The Lion King Rises comes… WALL-ETHEUS.
At the start of the new year, you might have caught the brilliant mash-up trailer for The Dark Knight Rises and The Lion King. Another great new mash-up trailer has surfaced from the same guy who edited that together, Brad Hansen, which cuts together the beloved WALL-E and Ridley Scott’s upcoming Prometheus, and it’s pretty excellent.
The trailer for Prometheus landed at the end of last year, just in time for Christmas, and we can look forward to seeing it on the big screen here in the UK on 1st June. Judging by what we’ve seen so far, it’s going to be immense, with a cast that includes Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Logan Marshall-Green, Guy Pearce, Idris Elba, and Patrick Wilson.
Released back in 2008, Pixar’s WALL-E was directed by Andrew Stanton (whose upcoming John Carter is due out this year – you can catch up on all things related here), and earned the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, as well as taking north of a rather cool $500m. at the international box office.
Mix the two together and what do you get?
Something epic.
Just like the combination of The Dark Knight Rises and The Lion King brought a new sense of intensity to the visuals of the latter’s original trailer, so too do we get a great added level of awesomeness this time around with the mash-up between Prometheus and WALL-E. Enjoy.
