Rockstar’s latest gets a little late night air time, courtesy of Fox. Red Dead Redemption begets a 30-minute short, directed by John Hillcoat (The Road), using nothing but in-game assets. See how that works on May 29 at midnight. [Rockstar]
Kotaku AU Note: We’ve contacted Rockstar to ascertain when this will be airing locally.

Wednesday, May 26, 2010 at 2:21 PMI love the idea of prolific directors getting on board with machinima, even if it is for promotional reasons.
The Proposition was incredible, so another western by John Hillcoat, even in this form (machinima) is more than welcome.

Wednesday, May 26, 2010 at 2:27 PMThis sound like it’s going to be atmospheric at the very least.
I wish I had access to the Dev tools to do something like this, of the Machinma I could make…

Wednesday, May 26, 2010 at 2:49 PMThis will be “airing” in Australia not long after someone puts it up on the net post US screening. I won’t hold my breath for an official local release.

Or, it could use the (as yet unannounced) PC version graphics. Higher res, higher detail.

Thursday, May 27, 2010 at 1:19 PMDear everyone,
Nick Cave wrote a screenplay, which was directed by John Hillcoat and it was the best damn thing to come out of Australian cinema in a very long time. Watch it. Now. The Proposition.
