I just stumbled across this trailer for an upcoming movie called Whiteout - no, it's not affiliated with Dreamscale's Fade to White  . Anyway, the trailer looks pretty good - they usually do (althought I thought I was watching the trailer for the The Thing Prequel to begin with).

It's based on a comic - has anybody read it? Does anybody have the script?


                

There are two hours of film to be edited into a two-minute trailer...and they spend almost 10 seconds of it with Kate Beckinsale in the shower haha.

Shows you where their head is at with this one, I suppose.  If there was a great story here, they probably would have revealed more of that as opposed to revealing their female lead.

Check your e-mail Mr. Sniper!  

If the movie's got a shower scene with Kate Beckinsale, then it doesn't need a story.

Funny how the trailer says that there no shadows in Antartica (or is it on Antarctica). How does that work exactly?

Pia,

Ha, funny...my Fade to White was originally called Whiteout.  I did a search and found that this was being made from a graphic novel (this was 2 years ago a or so).  So, I changed my title...happy that I did actually now.

I think it sounds pretty frickin' cool, and I gotta admit I'm a sucker for kate.

Shadow stealers - thievin' little gits.

I think it is loosely based on the comic as I read a rant by a fan about how they changed some things.

The trailer doesn't give me the impression she's after a killer either.

Working at a trailer company has taught me a thing or two, and one of them is that studios have a laundry list of things that absolutely have to be in the trailer.  I'm sure the shower scene was at the top of their list on this one.  In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they saw a cut of it from the company and said "Ehhh.....extend the shower scene a bit more."
