West Side Story Meets Dance Dance Revolution In This Real Movie Trailer

Have you ever thought that the already-kind-of-weird musical gang fighting of West Side Story would be improved by a little bit more video game dancing? Me neither, but clearly someone did.

The FP is a movie in which two gangs fight for control of a place called Fraizer Park. Their choice of weapon? A game known as Beat-Beat Revelation that's going to look very familiar to any gamers who were doing the video game dancing thing prior to Kinect coming out.

The trailer below is not technically new, though I will caution that it is VERY NOT SAFE FOR WORK nor for underage viewers. However, it is the first I've heard of this bizarre little movie. Ain't It Cool News has word that the film has been picked up for distribution by Drafthouse Films, a company I'm actually a fan of. Perhaps the absurdity of the concept actually pays off in an interesting and entertaining film? Watch the trailer and judge for yourself.

My goodness, I hope to Celestia that this thing gets an actual release. I would watch this and laugh like there was no tomorrow!

What. The. Hay.

*facehoof* I can't believe this actually exists.
by Lukedoc321 Monday, August 01, 2011 at 08:23 PM

Beat Beat Revelation? I'm pretty sure that SOMEPONY was quite the influence...
by Rainbow Dash Monday, August 01, 2011 at 08:23 PM

Dancing and gangs? No thank you.

Now, dancing Jedi would be something entirely different.
by 1awesomedude Monday, August 01, 2011 at 08:27 PM

This is like and dislike Overblood, it's similar because it's so bad, it's good. And it's different because this has boobs.

GI RELEASING NSFW! *GASP*

Also, what is up with the ponies?
by Louis Marcos Monday, August 01, 2011 at 08:29 PM

What exactly is NSFW here? I'm not seeing it, though I may just have low moral standards.
by Mray901 Monday, August 01, 2011 at 08:30 PM

...What the hay is this... And what's with their giant shoes?! How can they dance while wearing those things?! I mean, just... what is this...
by Triforce of the Gods Monday, August 01, 2011 at 08:37 PM

First Battleship, now Dance Dance Revolution? What pony in their right mind thought that any of these would be a good idea to make a movie out of?
by Aenarama Monday, August 01, 2011 at 08:37 PM

lol.. i dont think this would going to be awesome.
by ZoMbIEx23x Monday, August 01, 2011 at 08:39 PM

Rofl, I'll watch it.
by Steve XLII Monday, August 01, 2011 at 08:52 PM

I'm not going to ask. About the movie, or the insane spike in Bronies in these comments. All of this is just way too bizarre for me. WAY too bizarre. But at least now I have a way of settling fights without getting the cops involved.

What the apple pie cuddling, hoof sucking flank is this?
by Alphonsus Monday, August 01, 2011 at 08:56 PM

Well this took to a whole strange and different level. I was just going wtf the whole trailer.

CAGE MATCH!!!!!
by Kurt Thomas Monday, August 01, 2011 at 09:14 PM

... I literally have no idea what to say. J-Tro? Gunfights? DDR? What the hay? Maybe it'll end up like Tommy Wiseau's "The Room."
by Nathan Monday, August 01, 2011 at 09:26 PM

Looks really REALLY stupid.
by LunarStarFox Monday, August 01, 2011 at 09:27 PM

That looks more interesting then i expected, but i think i can wait til' its on netflix. It does look like it has potential though. I wont deny that. :)
by Todd Monday, August 01, 2011 at 09:32 PM

This is REAL?
