The ABCs of Death (2012)

[win66ih]

Twenty-six directors. Twenty-six ways to die. The ABC’s OF DEATH is perhaps the most ambitious anthology film ever conceived with productions spanning fifteen countries and featuring segments directed by over two dozen of the world's leading talents in contemporary genre film. Inspired by children’s educational books, the motion picture is comprised of twenty-six individual chapters, each helmed by a different director assigned a letter of the alphabet. The directors were then given free reign in choosing a word to create a story involving death.

Provocative, shocking, funny and ultimately confrontational, THE ABC’s OF DEATH is the definitive vision of modern horror diversity. Drafthouse Films, Magnet Pictures and Timpson Films are proud to present this alphabetical arsenal of destruction orchestrated by what Fangoria calls "a stunning roll call of some of the most exciting names in horror across the world."

Gini gini,

Untuk yang T itu kenapa banyak...

We are searching for the next great genre director and we are prepared to give away five grand in cash and a dose of fame to find a lucky winner. The ABCs of Death has already signed up 25 of the most talented genre directors on this planet and have saved the 26th spot for someone to grab with both hands and to throttle it into submission. The winner of this global search will have their work included in a feature film alongside some of the genre's most talented new blood. But even if you don't win, your searing talent may just be discovered through this competition. So if you want to take part in the greatest horror project since Dr Frankenstein first threw that switch. Remember to upload your work as quickly as possible, as the more people you can get to vote for your short the more chance you'll be in the Top Ten and to go onto the final judging round, when the 25 other directors get to choose the winner.

Choose your own ABCs of Death word starting with the letter “T”. ie T is for TAZER (you get to choose your own word, probably best not to use Tazer, unless you really want to do a Tazer to the groin short).

Then create a short film that is inspired by the ‘word’ you have chosen. How you interpret the word is entirely up each competitor. You can shoot live-action, animation, stop-motion, use actors, cut-outs, puppets or animals. The choice is yours, there are no restrictions on content or creativity, provided of course you don’t break any international laws.

Words that explain exactly how the death will occur are fun but they offer little surprise. T is for TAZER means that the audience will know that someone is going to die via a Tazer somehow in advance. This can be a very good thing (anticipation) or it can be somewhat anti-climatic (if you deliver whats expected). It depends on how you play it out. Please keep in mind that there are many other directors all making similarly structured works that are all operating within the same theme.

We are looking for the “Holy ****” factor.

Total durasi menurut wiki adalah 110 minutes.
Jadi mungkin kalo dibagi 26, kurang lebihnya satu director bakal dapet 4 menitan lah.
Itu kalo rata, kalo engga who knows? Bisa aja ada director yang maunya bikin cuma 2 menit atau mungkin ada yang 15 menit sendiri. Atau mungkin ada director yang bersatu bikin satu film dengan 3 alphabet dengan durasi 20 menit.

Banyak kemungkinan.
Gue penasaran banget dan cukup tertarik dengan premis ambisius ini
Dari poster pun udah dibikin dengan konsep yang bagus. Here is another one.


All that plus...

Blunt legal analysis of movie scenes tend to make everything seem so clinical. Here the @Abcsofdeath gets the grilling from the legal eagles about what could get us into trouble. This is one of the approved segments.

And I'm sold.

[kandalf]

4 menit cukup untuk membuat film horror.
Tapi 26 film terus-terusan dengan sutradara yang berbeda-beda?
Aku skeptis.

[choodee]

antologi horror terakhir yang bagus trick 'r treat..
3 cerita di sana.. kalo 26.. apa ga kebanyakan?

Trick or treat tu keknya lebih dr 3 deh seingatku.

Ya selama ini gw suka sih tipikal horor kompilasi gitu macam 4bia, tp memang 26 kebanyakan banged, tp kalo ngeliat jejeran directornya sih bikin ngiler~

yg horor huruf T yang menang yg clay animation tentang toilet yak? Cukup disturbing sih, terutama krn itu clay animation~~

[lighterheaven]

Gue suka ceritanya Timo buat film ini.. hohohoho.. agak2 dark comedy yang punya dia. You guys gonna love it.

[Aleph]

i'll be waiting for ms. Bassett's input

[E = mc²]

kirain film yg diangkat dr bukunya Agatha Christie, "pembunuhan ABC"

@meli: yg trick 'r treat ada lebih dr 3. tapi jumlah 26 emang kebanyakan. yg serial 4bia Thai aja banyak yg keteteran. gak semuanya bagus
