Paperboy: The Movie Video Trailer | Classic Video Game Turned Into A Cheesy Film
If you have any recollection at all of Paperboy, the classic videogame which appeared in the arcade, on computers, and on various consoles from 1984 onwards, then you’ll likely love this video.
It shows how a Paperboy movie trailer could look if someone, somewhere decided to turn the game into a film.
Let’s face it, stranger things have happened, particularly as Hollywood is currently making movies out of Space Invaders and Battleships amongst others.
Rather than focus on recreating the gameplay (although there are some funny moments when they do), the people behind this spoof movie trailer create a back story to explain why Paperboy is the way he is. Genius.

Inspired little short done as a contest entry by friends of mine. (My daughter Beth appears as the voice of the “shooter.”) Splendid writing and sharp wit, capturing the Godfather-esque essence of a family-heritage business gone over the edge. Some of this crew were part of the production team of the coming supernatural thriller CLOSED FOR THE SEASON. Director Jon Wagner helmed the feature THE ANNIVERSARY AT SHALLOW CREEK, now in post-production.
