Sleep Dealer Trailer Hits
By Kellvin Chavez on September 16, 2008
The folks over at Maya Entertainment are taking a big step into the mainstream, with the distribution and acquiring all U.S. rights to Alex Rivera's Sundance award-winner
"Sleep Dealer." Now the
official website has released the trailer for the film.
The film stars Luis Fernando Pena, Leonor Varela and Jacob Vargas. Sleep Dealer is set to hit theaters in Feb 2009.
If you're a fan of early sci-fi indie films like Shane Carruth's PRIMER and Darren Aronofsky's PI then Sleep Dealer is right up your alley, its like a Mexican Matrix or THX 1138.
Set in a near-future, militarized world marked by closed borders, virtual labor and a global digital network that joins minds and experiences, three strangers risk their lives to connect with each other and break the barriers of technology.
Check out the trailer below.

For those that noticed they used actual war footage (at 01:12) filmed from an Apache where it basically cut three people to pieces with its 30mm gun, using footage of actual people dying (regardless if they were bad/armed/pedos) is extremely tasteless.

Get your sci-fi and technology idioms straight: Thu Sep 18 at 09:20 EST
Get your sci-fi and technology idioms straight: Ever heard of "tele-presence?" * Those aren't "space ships" -- they are remotely-piloted UAVS * the people using the equipment remotely didn't have "buy" it * that's not "salsa music"

the mexicans have terrible cocaine.
PermalinkAs someone who's done a little bit of computer vision, I can tell you - we don't need anyone on the other side, controlling the machine (almost). But within 5 years, we WILL be able to close off the border and get robots to pick the strawberries.

@Fontez: Because Mexicans don't have any money and make their living off of selling cocaine to gringos, right? Let the Mexicans decide what is offensively stereotypical, shut the fuck up and come back with an educated opinion, you stupid prick.

Looks like one of the better possible views of the future. The aMERICAN dream, robots doing all the work, closed borders, plugged in (facebook anyone?) and no life. Hope its good.

PermalinkLooks like an interesting idea but.. Wed Sep 17 at 09:46 EST
That has to be one of the worst trailers I have ever seen. It really looks like whoever put the trailer together didn't know what specific idea they wanted to convey.

That looks cheesier then Quesadilla Con Pollo. By no means do I intend to offend anyone but, Salsa Music, Science Fiction, space ships, robots and Mexico just don't mix. First off, where the hell did these Mexicans get the money to purchase all of these robots and flashy technology, not realistic at all. And Second, maybe it's just me but portraying Mexicans as slave workers in any capacity is offensively stereotypical... Robotic sci-fi or not. This movie looks dumb.
