The Leviathan Teaser Trailer

The Leviathan Teaser Trailer

A jaw-dropping short film featuring loating space monsters swimming through clouds on an alien planet is coming to a theatre near you: the "Leviathan" science fiction project has been greenlit to become a feature film.

2015 a still from Robinson's short film "Leviathan," features a stunning rendering of a whale-like space monster that swims through clouds.

Ruairi Robinson, director of "Last Days on Mars," created a three and a half minute proof of concept trailer for "Leviathan" , which shows a crew of futuristic monster hunters tracking down a whalelike creature that swims through an ocean of clouds. While it features no speaking parts, the featurette packs an incredible amount of drama, and the special effects are on par with a major movie production.

The teaser trailer is prefaced with text explaining the premise of the story, which takes place in the early 22nd century, when humankind has achieved faster than light travel using an exotic material found in the eggs of the largest species ever discovered. As the short film so clearly demonstrates, hunting these eggs is a dangerous occupation, and most people who do it are "involuntary labor."
