To promote its new cinema-proportioned TV set, Phillips made a movie. Okay, it’s a short movie. But Adam Berg’s Carousel is one kick-ass short. Clearly inspired by last summer’s Christopher Nolan blockbuster The Dark Knight, this technical stunner depicts a single frozen moment in time by means of a long tracking shot through a tumultuous hospital overrun by a gang of masked bad guys and SWAT team members.One other word of warning: It’s definitely not intended for viewers with coulrophobia (that would be fear of clowns). I don’t know that the clip would persuade me to shell out big bucks for a new TV, but I’d definitely shell out 10 bucks to see a feature film by this Adam Berg fella. What do you think, PopWatchers?

Wow that was pretty damn cool. But still wasn’t no Dark Knight.

That was pretty cool.
Pretty good, stylistically speaking. But can the guy make a compelling story? I agree, that’s no Dark Knight.
This piece is very neat, but since Watchmen just used this style, I wonder if it’s going to become the new bullet-time. Every action movie after The Matrix had to use bullet-time; are we going to get inundated with this now?
im sorry how is this “Dark Knight”-inspired?? because there is clowns, cops, and guns doesnt mean its the dark knight.
edit fromm my post below
because of the content doesnt mean its inspired by the dark knight. ridiculous.
Awesome looking clip, but you might as well say this is inspired by ‘Evil Clowns from Outerspace’ as ‘Dark Knight’.
Very good.
Really funny…

I just found a hot web site…millionaire chats.com..where people can make friends with rich man,sexy girls and so on. I signed up and It’s exciting
Who cares if it is like TDK? It is a kick ass COMMERCIAL! I think that was the point.
I recently posted a new profile at _millionaire chats.com_, a millionaire and hot girl dating club. I saw celebs’ profile with pictures and blog there..By the ways, i’ve got many friends including celebrities there, believe me.
TDK is nothing like this!!!! I repeat
NOTHING like it
