Does the idea of a movie directed produced by David Fincher and animated by Blur Studio float your boat?

No? Then how about the idea of a movie directed produced by David Fincher, animated by Blur and based on Dark Horse’s Eisner Award-winning comic?

Still no? Then how about the idea of a movie directed produced by Fincher, animated by Blur, based on an award-winning comic, and featuring scenes of smart-aleckry, car-surfing and partying with zombies? Jeez… tough crowd.

For those of you more readily convinced, the trailer is online now, and almost lives up to those Fight-Club-meets-Gopher-Broke-meets-Hellboy comparisons that the line-up invites. Click the player above to see it.

Note: as has now been pointed out, this version also dates from Comic-Con this year, not just the 45-second teaser. Consider this post a monument to basic idiocy. The video is still great, though.
