Trailer For Playback
Below is the trailer for the supernatural flick Playback, written and directed by Michael A. Nickles and staring Christian Slater. It's billed as "based on true event which I always call bullshit on as soon as I hear it these days. There was a time when that meant something, but that time is long past. The way that phrase is used these days I could make a film "based on true events" where I get up in the morning, fight off a hoard or alien zombie pejohos and then go back to bed. See...it's based on true events because I actually DID get up that day and go back to bed later that day. Ok...soap box put away. Flick still could be good despite that.

Synopsis
While digging into their town’s infamous past, a group of high school students unwittingly unlock an even darker secret. Now an evil spirit has been awakened to possess and destroy its victims through video playback, stopping at nothing to find his true heir.
True Story - The mythos of Playback is rooted in the mysterious disappearance of Louis Le Prince, a French inventor considered by many film historians to be the true father of motion pictures. In October, 1888, Le Prince captured “Roundhay Garden Scene” and “Leeds Bridge Scene” on paper film using a single-lens camera, several years before competitors Auguste and Louis Lumière and Thomas Edison released their inventions.
Le Prince was planning a public exposition for his films at Jumel Mansion in New York City when he vanished without a trace. He was last seen in Dijon on Friday, September 16, 1890, boarding the 2:42 p.m. train for Paris.
Theories about his disappearance abound. Some believe he committed suicide. Some say he was assassinated by henchmen working for Thomas Edison. Some say he succumbed to financial and social pressure from his family and “disappeared” to live his life in obscurity in the US. Still others believe his disappearance was due to darker, even more nefarious reasons.
