Fan-made Twisted Metal trailer makes a slasher out of Sweet Tooth

Back in June, Twisted Metal designer David Jaffe shared the idea of a movie based partially on his game's automotive carnage, but focused on one of its most iconic characters, Sweet Tooth (real name: Needles Kane). "I want us to make an honest to goodness, low-budget slasher movie and sell it on PSN exclusive," he told his Twitter followers and fans.

While it's unknown whether the concept has gotten the green light since then, a handful of fans have created a free trailer based on Jaffe's initial pitch. "Twisted Metal: Home Sweet Home" sees the psychotic clown offing obligatory, oblivious young people one by one and driving his decidedly unsavory ice cream truck.

If the violence makes you feel uncomfortable, just remind yourself that Sweet Tooth's victims are probably those people who think it's still cute and quirky to tell everyone how scared they are of clowns. They deserve it.

I bet sweet tooth gets more girls than that guy with the red spongebob shirt.

i'd watch it

"those people who think it's still cute and quirky to tell everyone how scared they are of clowns"

hahaha, agreed Ludwig. They are the worst.

@MLS I also agree, my fiance is one of them...

Oh, heck yes, please. Kudos to that one girl with all the screaming. Best actress in there.

I'd watch it.

Could use more images of the truck but what the hey, its a good first try.
Maybe a little more variation on the ethnicity with the victims next time? Reminds me of 80's B movies.. without the nudity

@mandarin uh... its not really a movie... its a trailer for the game coming out.. but i guess you didn't read it and decided to be a judgmental dumbass

@PerfectCyanide Just FYI its not trailer for the game, hence " a handful of fans have created a free trailer based on Jaffe's initial pitch." So essentially its a fan trailer that they probably are trying to make into a movie.

@mandarin As someone who's made low budget trailer esque stuff, you don't get to pick ethnicities and demographics when your budget is "$300 and pizza" and your casting director is "my friend Tom"

I'm pretty sure Jaffe has mentioned they are working on the movie on his Twitter account a couple of times. I'm not positive though. I think he said something along the lines of "We've been really busy with the game and the movie", I could be wrong though... If I find the tweet I'll post it

He also posted this, but after looking more into it, I think it's for live action scenes for the game.

How is "Needles Kane" in any way a real name? lol

Elena: Cmon, you were a little worried I was gonna die. I saw tears on your face.
Nate: Nah, it was raining...
Elena: Oh, OK. Well on scale of 1-10, how scared were you I was gonna die?
Nate: I don't know. Like, a four?
Elena: A four? I thought that would at least be an eight!
Nate: Well, those big blue guys might have been an eight...
Elena: What!? Then what's a ten?
Nate: ... ... Clowns... ...
Elena: ... Clowns :(
Nate: Yeah, I hate clowns. What?

@JonahStein

Uncharted 2, FTW.

@JonahStein
Every time I see a post like this, I hate myself a bit more for not owning/playing Uncharted 2 yet.

*plays Uncharted 1 and makes believe*

We already have an Ice Truck Killer. He was on Dexter.

Is the Ice-Cream Truck Killer a cousin of the Ice Truck Killer from Dexter? lol

If you were to throw in better actors and maybe roadkill and outlaw, since they are cops, I would watch this fast .

:) that put a smile on my face. I hope this will be made.

hhahaha that was kick ass :)
That made my day

@SonyPS

Really? Normally trailers are really good and make you want to see bad movies as opposed to the trailer sucking so bad with people who can not act worth a damn.

This is fine for friends to enjoy, but overall its really weak.

@khaos100 So Sweet Tooth is a homicidal silent killer like Jason, Michael Meyers etc. Where's the imagination? The one thing most of these fan films have in common is that too many of the directors rely on their friends who want to be in their movie. Audition REAL actors who can act and use them. Just because Todd and Scooter are your best pals, and they LOVE Twisted Metal is no reason to give them a speaking part.

I like the production values, I like the editing, I like the music.... but I rarely like the acting in these fan films. It comes off flat and empty.

Yeah, I know I'm going to be voted down, but that's fine. Y'know, you guys don't have to like something just because someone went through the trouble to make it.

@Milf Biggenson

get over yourself milf..

@Milf Biggenson Sweet Tooth isn't silent, at the end he kinda grumbled "Calypso"

DAMMMMMMMMMMM. This is a BADASS Trailer for it to be FAN MADE. This is really good . GOOD JOB

Soo, this is a case for Dexter Morgan?

I see what you did there...
