The Dead Island trailer is a great piece of total CGI film making (it has a strong emotional effect) but as none of what we see in it is in the game, other than zombies and the general idea of the resort, it's not necessarily a good enough reason to go out and get the game (it's taken a fair old time coming too).

I worked as a runner on a short film called Life Story featuring David Dixon and Avis Bunnage in the late eighties which used a similar time reversal technique.

It was about a girl dying from the effects of a back street abortion (grim stuff). The actors were a bit miffed to find this out while filming (the director didn't want them to be aware until the film was finished but someone let it slip).

I would really like to track the film down because I've never seen it or the other short film shot around the same time which I actually appear in which is called King Of Jazz.

Really enjoying returning to Ocarina Of Time, it's astonishing how fresh the game feels even after all this time.
