Forward into the 21st century

An ex-film student named Robert Ryang created a new trailer for The Shining, turning the creepy Kubrick horror film into a cliched family comedy. He won the contest, which put the short film on its website. A few days of virual link posting and emailing later, the guy almost has a Hollywood career.

I've seen the trailer (QuickTime movie) -- it's really funny. You might want to wait til tonight to try to view it -- that link's going to get lots of hits today.
