DRIV3R film trailer released

Remember, it's a trailer for a three-minute short from Ridley Scott Associates.

Atari has released a trailer promoting the first episode of an upcoming, online-only three-minute film short about DRIV3R produced by Ridley Scott Associates. The 7.5MB trailer appeared on www.driv3r.com earlier this week, with a second trailer due on January 19th and the first, one-minute episode in its entirety airing on January 23rd.

The movie, "Run the Gauntlet", is closely inspired by and links to the story and characters of DRIV3R, although Atari is keeping the film's story under wraps. This week's trailer lasts 57 seconds and includes footage from the game interspersed and sometimes blended into live action footage from the RSA-made film, mostly involving nice-looking cars with white racing stripes screeching round corners.

Remind us to remind you when the next trailer goes live, eh?
