First Trailer For Sci Fi Consumerism Thriller “Branded” Released

With 97 unique QR codes embedded in the movie trailer, this might be the most interactive trailer that we’ve ever seen! It makes sense, given that the movie is basically a sci fi thriller about how we’ve all become slaves to marketing… and the dark power behind it all! So far, the film looks like a super creepy, LSD trip about consumerism.

Branded stars Ed Stoppard, Leelee Sobieski, Jeffrey Tambor, Ingeborga Dapkunaite and Max Von Sydow. It is set for a September release.
