HARDCORE - "World's first" 1st person action movie (w/Sharlto Copley)

[Whiskey Tango]

So I guess some Russian guys decided to turn an fps into a movie and this is the result. They have an indiegogo campaign which I will not link to (because of the language and I didn't want this to seem like a shill post) but is easily found via Google or the video below.

Anyway apparently Timur Bekmambetov offered to produce this for the filmmakers after he saw a similar music video they made.

I've wanted to see something like this even since the intro to Strange Days. I think it looks pretty badass (although 90 minutes of it is probably going to be exhausting).

Plus what other movie features Sharlto Copley as your sidekick?

HARDCORE is a modern, action Sci-Fi story about HENRY, a newly resurrected cyborg who must save his wife/creator ESTELLE (Haley Bennet) from the clutches of a psychotic tyrant with telekinetic powers, AKAN (Danila Kozlovsky), and his army of mercenaries. Fighting alongside Henry is JIMMY (Sharlto Copley), who is Henry's only hope to make it through the day. Hardcore takes place over the course of one day, in Moscow, Russia​

My mate showed me the vid for this the other week and I couldn't stop watching it, it was so cool.

Imagine if the Half Life movie was made like this.

If it doesn't get the 3D treatment they're losing money.

Imagine if the Half Life movie was made like this.

Now there's an idea!

This looks pretty cool.

Indiegogo campaign ended and they beat their goal by 5K so they should be moving on into post-production.

[DyeLorean]

I think this could get tired after the first 20 minutes.

 

[Black Narcissus]

They did a really fantastic vid called 'Bad Mother****er' on YT. Ya'll should check it out.

 

[NotSoLongAgo]

So is it supposed to be all one shot?

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Not one continuous shot but they only used the one helmet cam (you can't very well cut to a different angle when it's supposed to be the protag's POV. The director talks about it at length in the interview Lench posted.

 

[vanson]

Yup, that's the one Bekmambetov saw that convinced him to push the guy for a full length film.

 

[DyeLorean]

So is it supposed to be all one shot?

No, I think there actually is another film coming out that is all one continuous shot, but is not this one.

It looks like the anti-ASMR film.
