Default 30$ (or 300?) youtube video lands guy 30 million $ movie deal

I thought this was pretty awsome:


Slashdot Technology Story | $300 Sci-Fi YouTube Video Lands $30m Movie Deal

"A producer from Uruguay who made a short science fiction film and uploaded it to YouTube has landed a film deal with Sam Raimi's Ghost House worth $300 million. The film, which shows spaceships and giant robots attacking Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay, was made by Fede Alvarez for around $30. 'I uploaded (Panic Attack!) on a Thursday and on Monday my inbox was totally full of e-mails from Hollywood studios,' he said. Alvarez is to develop and direct a film based on one of his ideas, but there is no word yet on the writer."

I heard about this, i was doubtful when i heard the story, i was like "wtf ?" at first but actually this video is truly awesome actually, it hooked me from the very beginning until the end.

Better than Sam Raimi's bs btw

That was surprisingly impressive. Very nice work.

Even though we know how much money he spent on it, I would personally like to know how much time he spent.
