And on the Subject of Gleeping Someone’s Shit . . .

May 24, 2012

A couple of Baltimore film makers have posted this trailer comparison between their 2010 Chernobyl disaster project, Pripyat,  and this new one: Chernobyl Diaries.

“Without their consent, the trailer was pitched to several movie studios and producers in New York and Los Angeles,” would-be Pripyat producers Nick Gardner and Jeremy Morison write on their new Vimeo site. They say they don’t know who-all saw their trailer in 2010, but “what is clear are the similarities between their ‘Pripyat’ trailer and the trailer for ‘Chernobyl Diaries.’ Several key story elements also appear to be lifted directly from their original project package.”

(No word on any similarities to this decade-old movie called Pripyat).
