Hopefully you remember the Birdemic teaser trailer from last summer. Of course you do. It is literally the world’s most perfect teaser trailer. It was invented by science, so come on. Well, since then, the Birdemic Train has only been picking up steam. Late last year, an actual real life distribution company called Severin Films (I’m pretty sure the founder is in Slytherin House) has bought the rights. And this weekend, on February 27th, the world premiere of Birdemic will take place at The Cinefamily in Los Angeles, hosted by Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim, giving this movie the trademarked Tim and Eric Seal of Retarded. The premiere will be followed by a Tim and Eric-hosted Q&A with director James Nguyen, and the stars of Birdemic, Alan Bagh and Whitney Moore. Meanwhile, Tommy Wiseau will be in the next room, shredding an entire roll of toilet paper into tiny, angry bits and covering his entire mirror in lipstick until all you can see are his eyes and teeth.
In honor of all this Officialness and SHOWBIZ, Birdemic has been given an actual movie trailer, and, just like the teaser trailer (watch it again for the first time), this one was also apparently created by scientists. How else to explain its perfection?
You have done it again, science. How about a round of applause for science, everybody. (Trailer via FilmDrunk via Vulture)

this movie was cobbled together out of b-roll
We’ve got those Birds!
High fives are BACK!!!!
?Master of The Romantic Thriller??
You trademarked ?The Romantic Thriller?? No wonder they call you Visionary Writer/Director, James Nguyen!
I wonder when Severin would pop back up. To tell us what life was all about. “Severin, Severin awaits you there / I am tired, I am weary … Severin, Severin, speak so slightly, Severin, down on your bended knee… Severin, your servant comes in bells, please don’t forsake him.” Lou Reed
43 long years. Apparently its all for the birds.
Velvet Underground lyrics so early in the morning? I wish we could slap 5
+1 upvote for quoting Velvet Underground and +50 cool points for quoting Velvet Underground.
I hope that girl gets the “Best Forced Smile” award at this year’s MTV Movie Awards!
So many tips I need to Evernote for when I make MY movie! For instance:
?I definitely should remember that it is OK to use IMDB User Reviews as cinema blurbs!
?Birds SELL!
?Make my trailer about a romance and business and 1 million dollars and then SURPRISE my audience with the true movie content, several minutes in!
All classic-movie-tips!
ALSO, Movie Maker Tip: the next time you want to make-out with someone, hatch an elaborate scheme to hire your potential make-out partner in a movie you are making based on a movie that already exists and then FILM THAT MOVIE. Boom. Instant excuse to make out. That’s probably how this movie was made.
They stole my 8th grade film project. I couldn’t believe my teacher let me show a girl in her bra..hehe
I think we know who’s winning the Academy Award for best original song.
You think that’s scary, wait until you see the mastermind behind the Birdemic:
The lost nephew of Donald Duck?
Howard the Duck. He’s back with a brand new beat.
Well I just requested a few days off and bought a ticket to LAX…
“ONE MILLION DOLLARS.”

romantic thriller= how to be a douche bag killer birds
It’s just nice to see Marilyn Manson getting soundtrack work again.
“From Visionary Writer/Director James Nguyen” This is still more believable than Diablo Cody.
those birds look fake to me.
here come the birds! stock up on water and coat hangers!!
Yes – the scene where the protagonists venture outside clutching their coat hangers is the most scientifically perfect moment in the trailer.
this movie should be a real Nguyen-er. that’s about all I can do on a Monday morning.
I’m glad the scientists let Nguyen use their newly developed 2D Quantum Eaglestm, which are made of antimatter and transcend space time. Jimmy Cameron ain’t got nothin’ on this.
Though I miss the long, boring panning shots and weird explosions, I do enjoy the James L. Brooks romcom orchestral intro.
This trailer deserves a soundboard of it’s own. “PASSION!” Also, it takes guts to quote an IMDB User review in you trailer before your film is released.
*your, dammit
Never before have I rued living in the Midwest as I do this morning. Never before have I seen such a perfect cause for regret. LA, I hope you treasure the gift fate (and Tim and Eric) hath bestowed.
A software salesman and a fashion model? It’ll never work.
This movie is driven by… PASSION.
What an accurate depiction of a conversation real salesmen (who sell software out of my basement apparently) would have: “How big was the sale?” “One million dollars.” High five!
Also, at 1:31 the model asks what’s on everyone’s mind.
This is just for you guys – I put the two best scenes from BIRDEMIC online: The Bus Scene and The Hotel/Hanger Scene. I didn’t tag them or include any names or titles because I’m afraid he’ll get them removed. Enjoy and keep it on the DL…
Amazing. Thank you for that.
You are my hero. The clothes hangers…..my god it’s perfect.
“C’mon!”
“NO!”
“C’mon!”
“NO!”
“C”MON!”
“NO!”
Everything in this movie I’ve seen so far makes me want to throw up and clap my hands at the same time.
This squeaking door sounds JUST like a bird!
At :59 the anchor says “The population of polar bears is rapidly declining”. Oh so they birds start attacking because of global warming. James Nguyen’s new resume: Visionary Writer/Director, Prophet.
Did they really use a IMDB user comment as a review in this? I’m surprised they didn’t just go with youtube comments.
“Come watch my cat video.” – youtube user werttrew
1. Ok, so the birds have bombs?
2. What a horrible shot he takes in that basketball clip. Good thing the model didn’t see that!
3. “Can we stay in contact?” Poetry.
it did look like an eagle
A teeny tiny eagle.
Hey, can we keep in contact?
SOOOOOOOOOOO romantic!!! *swoon*
“the beautifull, young fashion model driven by…*in an evil voice* FASHIOOON!”–the best.
