Video is a little choppy for my taste but it looks like an excellent way to tap into the summer blood and guts film market. Get some of those people reading quality fiction instead of watching digitized fight scenes.

Edited to add: the content and overall impression were great.

Good trailer

To Parthianbow
While I can sort of agree with the slight choppiness of the trailer compared to other pieces it is very good in putting across the overall theme

Okay, I think the trailer is rad! I love the choppy, music videoishness of it. The color is great and it's not cheesy. Yes, two thumbs up!

Thanks, everyone! It's had nearly 30,000 views already. Fingers crossed that a loooooot of those wonderful people buy a copy! :)

@DianeL: you'll be waiting a long time, I'm afraid. It doesn't come out in the USA until 2013 :(
