'Driver' Promo Videos

Atari push Driver 3 with Ridley Scott's help


To coincide with the March launch of videogame Driver 3, a unique live action short film "Run the Gauntlet" debuts today online.
 
The plotline of the three minute short film is being closely guarded, but producers' Ridley Scott Associates, in collaboration with Atari, is producing a series of 30 second "vignettes" as preview trailers for each one-minute episode of the film. The first of these trailers promoting Episode I debuts today.
 
The second trailer will debut on January 19th 2004, building to the exclusive release of Episode I on the site on January 23rd 2004. This film is closely inspired by and links to the story, characters and action of Driver 3.

Developed by Reflections Interactive (an Atari  videogame development studio), the masterminds behind DRIVER and DRIVER 2 – which have sold more than 12 million copies worldwide – Driver 3 is an action-packed driving adventure game. Apparently it stays true to its roots, incorporating the cinematic gameplay and gritty street crime of its predecessors with ground-breaking graphics and three mammoth, wide-open city environments: Miami, Nice and Istanbul.  Driver 3 is slated for release in March 2004 for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox.

I thought a "vignette" was something you put on a salad?
