Watch A Live-Action Adaptation Of The Phenomenal ‘Dead Island’ Trailer!

Briefly: This is absolutely wonderful.

Almost everyone remembers that amazing 2011 trailer for Dead Island that re-announced the long-in-development game. From the haunting music, to the beautiful landscapes, to the silent, slow motion destruction. I still vividly remember the video, even though it’s been well over a year since I’ve seen it. That trailer may just be the best video game trailer ever made.

Machinima today launched a shot-for-shot, live action adaptation of that beloved trailer. Featuring the same iconic music, the production team matched the emotion and action of the original down to the smallest detail. This thing is exact, and it’s just as (if not more since you’re seeing real people here) haunting as the original.

Take a look at the video below, and let us know what you think. I’m just going to go cry now.
