BRIEF

We partnered with IGN to play a trick on the internet for April Fools. We made a live-action announcement trailer for a Star Wars series coming to Netflix. A mysterious dark power is butchering those on both the light and dark side of the Force.

APPROACH

We shot a fanmade Netflix trailer in the Star Wars universe of Darth Maul and his violent history as he hunts Jedi.

IMPACT

“Fury of Maul” was produced for IGN's April Fools day 2016. With over 1.5MM views we even managed to trick a few people including this poor kid.
