Ok, so the above trailer isn't for a real film. It's just a fan made trailer for a fictional Mega Man movie. There's a lot of fan service going on, so if haven't played a Mega Man game in a while you might not get it all, but for a couple of fans working with zero budget it's pretty damn fun to watch and imagine "what if...". Now, it's nowhere near as good as the fake Legend of Zelda trailer IGN.com put out earlier this year, which looks so real that upon viewing it my girlfriend said "why don't they just make the real thing, millions of people would go see it anyways." Besides the ridiculous looking Ganon, it looks like a real trailer for a real film. Watch it below:

Mega Man: The Movie!

Never really thought about how silly a little elf cap would look on a young man in real life until now.
Oh yeah, and don't get started on the elf ears.
Videogame movies sound well and good in theory, but have you all forgotten the Super Mario Bros quagmire of '93! I heard Shigeru Miyamoto threatened to unleash Donkey Kong on Hollywood Blvd if every copy of the movie wasn't destroyed.
Of course Hollywood refused to comply stating that, "Dennis Hopper's coolness would not allow the film to burn."
I heard Kong did quite a number on Hollywood, but no one really noticed.
If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend 'The King of Kong' about Steve Wiebe trying to break Billy Mitchell's Donkey Kong world record. Billy Mitchell is a weirdo-douche-scumbag who dresses like it's still 1979. He takes himself so seriously, it's hard to believe the guy is for real.
Also, in regards to Ninquelote's comment, I really don't expect videogame movies to be any good. I just like these faux-trailers, mainly because they make you THINK it's going to be good, and also because they capture the spirit of a movie trailer so well. All they're missing is a voiceover guy: "In a world where Men are Mega..."
I don't really expect most movies to be any good, but they always have good trailers.
I will admit that the faux-trailers do look real in the sense that they could be real movie trailers. Huzzah videogame players.
