15 Most Ridiculous Movies In Development
3. Ambiance
Release Date: December 31, 2020
The Pitch: Swedish director Anders Weberg is currently in production on a 720-hour (that's 30-day) experimental film that's described as an "abstract nonlinear narrative summary of the artist's time spent with the moving image".
More to the point, in order to create "the longest film made that doesn’t exist", Weberg will destroy the only copy of the film once it's been screened globally.
Why It's Ridiculous: Because a) making a 30-day film is absolutely mad b) nobody is going to watch the entire thing c) he's destroying it after all that work and d) assuming it's being streamed worldwide, people will cache the video, so it will never truly be destroyed.
Will It Be Any Good?: Weberg has released a 72-minute trailer and a 7 hour, 20-minute trailer to date (with a 72-hour trailer reportedly on the way next), which suggest an extremely slow, meditative pace that will likely challenge even the most hardy filmgoer.
It honestly seems more like an art installation than a real film, though it remains to be seen whether or not Ambiance will make a sufficient impact when it finally screens in full.
