If there’s one thing I can say with absolute certainty it’s that I have never seen a movie like Branded. It truly is a one-of-a-kind experience. That’s not necessarily a good thing. You’ll get your chance to bare witness to the most Wtf movie of the year next year when it arrives on DVD and Blu-ray.

How ironic that a movie all about the misleading power of advertising is being released on DVD and Blu-ray with box art that is very misleading in its own right. “The Invasion has Already Begun”?

Here is Lionsgate’s appropriately vague plot synopsis for this Us-Russian co-production:

Ed Stoppard, Leelee Sobieski, Jeffrey Tambor and Max Von Sydow star in this mind-bending, sci-fi thriller set in a surreal, not-so-distant future. In a dystopian society where mega-corporations rule, a terrifying conspiracy has been unleashed - one that controls the minds of the citizens.

Branded is about a cow-shaped constellation that appears to fire lightning bolts onto a marketing expert, who subsequently participates in a corporate branding war in which giant gelatinous balloon-like demon creatures fight each other for global domination. Oh, and you can only see the demons after slaughtering a red cow. Or at least that’s what I think the movie’s about; sorta, maybe. If you need to go back and re-read that monumentally first confusing sentence at least five times, if not ten, don’t fret: You’ve just replicated the experience of sitting through one of the most inexplicable films ever made. Arriving in theaters without press screenings, or advance press of any kind really, this sci-fi piece/faux-infomercial/nonsensical glop inspires a lot of questions. The most pressing: What poor Sob did co-writers/directors Jamie Bradshaw and Alexander Doulerain dupe into funding this? The filmmakers would have a tough time summarizing the plot, if...

Every few years you stumble across something like Branded: A tonally retarded, editorially misshapen, and thoroughly amateurish film that -- here's the best part -- has delusions of insight, intelligence, and originality. Ok, to be fair, this arcane Russian production is pretty original; I'l give it that. It's not every day you see an ostensible satire that's never funny on purpose but is frequently hilarious by accident, let alone one with wacky religious subtext, a short film with Max Von Sydow wedged inside, and giant balloon-like invisible creatures that grow out of peoples' necks. Written and directed by newcomers Jamie Bradshaw and Aleksandr Dulerayn, Branded is social commentary and a satire of advertising as written by a pair of first year sociology majors who haven't...

A few months back, we caught an intriguing first look at Branded, an upcoming dystopian sci-fi/thriller that showed a lot of potential with its first trailer, stills, and promo images.

We’ve now got a longer look at the film itself with this second trailer, coming our way via Yahoo Movies, and it continues to intrigue and show promise.

A second theatrical trailer has been released for Branded. If you watched the first trailer, you’ll remember that it contained dozens of Qr codes and started with a fake commercial. This trailer is a bit more traditional, but gives us a new look at the movie and there are still some Qr codes for those who are playing along.

While at the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con, Dread Central had the opportunity to catch up with first-time filmmaker and co-writer Jamie Bradshaw in anticipation of the September 7th release date of his upcoming dystopic thriller called Branded.

Also co-written and directed by Alexander Doulerain, Branded stars Ed Stoppard, Leelee Sobieski, Jeffrey Tambor, Ingeborga Dabkunaite and Max Von Sydow. During our chat with Bradshaw, he gave us an inside look at the world he co-created in Branded as well as more on his transition from the marketing world to the filmmaking world and what the future holds for him and his co-director Doulerain.

Check out our exclusive video interview with Bradshaw below, and look for Branded in theaters on September 7th courtesy of Roadside Attractions.

"I have tried to pretend that everything is okay." One of the panels we did not attend at Comic-Con this last week was a "Virtual Drive-In" presentation on three genre indies, one of them being this film, Branded. You've probably heard of it before considering we already featured one wacky trailer for this bizarre Russian sci-fi film that centers around marketing & branding going malicious, and this second one is just as eerie and Qr-code packed. The cast is lead by Ed Stoppard, Leelee Sobieski, Max von Sydow and Jeffrey Tambor, and it's quite a trip. I'm kind of interested to see it, but boy does it look wacky and weird. Enjoy! Here's the second trailer for Jamie Bradshaw & Aleksandr Dulerayn's Branded, originally via YouTube: Set in a dystopian future where corporate brands have created a disillusioned population, one man's effort to unlock the truth behind the conspiracy will lead...

I should be really excited for directors Jamie Bradshaw and Aleksandr Dulerayn’s “Branded”. The film has everything I like in my movies — aliens, said aliens invading, the delightfully delightful Leelee Sobieski, and did I mention aliens invading? I love that stuff. So why do I feel so … indifferent towards “Branded”? I dunno. I’m just not feeling the movie. But maybe the trailers just aren’t capable of selling the film’s quality. Let’s hope that’s the case. But hey, judge for yourself by watching the new trailer for “Branded”. Branded is a dark and mind-bending sci-fi thriller into a surreal, dystopian society where mega corporations have unleashed a monstrous global conspiracy to get inside our minds and keep the population disillusioned, dependent and passive. One man’s quest to unlock the truth behind the conspiracy will lead to an epic battle with the hidden forces that really control our world.

The roving man on the scene Evan Dickson caught up with director Jamie Bradshaw to shed some light on the giant sized creature feature Branded. Read on for all the latest details.

You used to work in marketing. Was there something about your job that disenfranchised you and inspired the critique in Branded?

"I wouldn’t call it a critique of marketing. I would call it a mind bending journey through our very dark and hallucinatory world. It’s a dark place but it’s the world we live in. I’m not criticizing it. To criticize marketing is to criticize the world.

What perplexes Branded directors Jamie Bradshaw and Aleksandr Dulerayn is how films can so often feel like clones of earlier stories. “Like even a move as great as Inception,” Bradshaw says, “is basically the same as a Dennis Quaid movie from the ’80s called Dreamscape.” So their goal when writing this new sci-fi thriller, about a marketing genius named Misha (Ed Stoppard) intent on rousing a brainwashed population from their global-conspiracy-induced stupor, was to create something wholly fresh. “We wanted to make a film exciting and adventurous like Raiders of the Lost Arc or The Matrix,” he says. “A film...

From the meta-documentary The Greatest Movie Ever Sold, to the dark comedy Thank You For Smoking, and the family-friendly adventure Wall-e, the evils of advertising has been at the center of a wide-range of features. But never has marketing seemed so purposefully menacing as in Branded, an upcoming sci-fi thriller featuring Max Von Sydow, Jeffrey Tambor, and Leelee Sobieski.

There has been a lot of talk and even documentaries on how America has a problem with obesity and is consumed by corporate entities. I think there is a general fear of becoming mindless and more of a puppet with no true form of identity or individuality. To just become a product or a consumer can be a disturbing thing. That is what interests me in the trailer for a film coming out this September called Branded. Yahoo Movies has premiered the trailer and I gotta tell ya, those monsters look really strange & creepy.

Or at least, she’ll offer plenty of lovin’ to the man who will save us. In a car, no less. It’s nice to be the savior of mankind.

Marketing is inescapable in today's day and age. Even here we're part of a well-oiled machine that gets people interested in movies, though that's mainly because we love good storytelling. But with marketing being so prominent, it was only a matter of time before someone told a story that would call attention to it in the form of a sci-fi thriller with strange creatures composed of ads, soda bottles and more, right?.

While not much appears to have happened with Reeves’ film yet, someone has beaten him to it – in spirit, if not actual origin – as the trailer for Branded demonstrates.
