Witness The Rise & Fall of Blockbuster Video in THE LAST BLOCKBUSTER Trailer
PopMotion Pictures’ The Last Blockbuster is a feature length documentary film about the rise and fall of Blockbuster Video and how one small town store managed to outlast a corporate giant.
And today we have the trailer for you to check out. Give it a look-see below.
Looks like good times to me!
It has been in the works since 2018 and was originally set to hit in May 2019.
Director Taylor Morden says: “It started [in 2018], and there were still a dozen or so Blockbuster locations left. We started filming this thing and I thought, ‘It’s a cool story, there’s not many of these stores left, and we’ll maybe start watching as one by one they start closing.’ And that did happen and then it got sprung on us that the one here in Bend, Orgeon, where we live, is going to be the very last one left, and that gave us a sense of urgency and a renewed sense that this was going to be a great story. Yeah, we were already working on it, but the story has changed since .”
He adds: “Once you meet the people and you find who the characters are, you have to explore that. We thought maybe it was going to be just about this one store, but then you meet interesting people. We just talked to the man who owned the Alaska stores which closed just before this one, and he’s such a character we just had to include him.”
While there is no official word yet on when The Last Blockbuster will be available on DVD and Blu-ray, it will have its premiere at the Tower Theater in Bend on Friday, May 8th.
