Trailer For Sundance Hit CATFISH Arrives ...
Surely destined to be known as the other Facebook movie, Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost's Catfish was a big hit at this year's Sundance. Sure, it may not have the gloss or glamor of David Fincher's The Social Network but what it does have is the true story of a true romance that existed online before moving into the real world and getting weird.

And now the first trailer for the film has been released for the mass audience and those who caught the film at Sundance are getting a bit upset. Why? Read the official synopsis and you may understand:

In late 2007, filmmakers Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost sensed a story unfolding as they began to film the life of Ariel's brother, Nev. They had no idea that their project would lead to the most exhilarating and unsettling months of their lives. A reality thriller that is a shocking product of our times, Catfish is a riveting story of love, deception and grace within a labyrinth of online intrigue.
Ah. You see, the argument goes that you shouldn't really know that the film is 'shocking' or blessed with 'a labyrinth of intrigue' before going into it or else it becomes immediately less shocking and less intriguing. Possibly also less labyrinthine. Which is a real word, thank you. I kind of get the point but there's also the simple fact that you've got to sell the damn thing somehow and personally I feel like the trailer does a decent job of catching the attention without spoon feeding the movie to you. It's over at Apple, check it out.
