    DUN! DUN! DUN DUN! DUN! Look at the concerned look on those sheeple's faces.
  • I don't know why so many people are giving this movie crap. It looks pretty original and suspenseful. All of that equals fun, even if the ending might not be the best in the world. As far as this improv is concerned, it's awesome. Cheers to everyone involved and this movie.
  • Ewan
    oh yeah...it's happening
  • Dan the Man
    I bet that movie sucks donkey nuts.
  • Captain Awesome
    Anyone who says and uses the word "sheeple" should be burned alive along with their house pets.

    Movie seems interesting... the look on the faces of the people was a good precursor to how the reaction to people would be for the happening, irrespective of what the critics say!

    But honestly these extras seems much better than Mark Wahlberg! :P
  • Chimaera
    LoL, that has hilarious. I loved how the some of the people not involved also hit the ground. It really is like a monkey see, monkey do...

    I wanna get a group of people to do that here, hahaha.
  • The Dude
    I laughed at that shot of the woman holding her baby.

    steal this line:

    "hey is this one of those improv gr--" monster charges around corner. "Oh shit!" person runs away.
  • "Anyone who says and uses the word “sheeple” should be burned alive along with their house pets."

    That cracked me up.

    I also died @ "This isn't good!"
  • Bob
    This clip is much more entertaining than the actual movie.
  • Tom
    This movie is gonna be worse than its title
  • Meli
    Cool improv/experiment, but I wonder if any one of the by
    standers called the police?
  • Pete
    Someone should have called homeland security. It looks like a gas attack, a scary and stupid stunt, for a lame dvd/cable category film.
  • Lizerne Guiting
    Iiin...ter...est...ing. I watched another improv group do something like this in New York, except instead of dropping to the ground, they stood frozen for 5 minutes. They also got applause!
  • Tim
    I love it!

    I think this is digg-worthy.
  • theanner
    I also think this is a incredibly stupid stunt. And for a stupid movie.
  • Somnium
    Agreeing with Bob; this clip is far more interesting than the movie trailers.
  • brian
    so...has anybody seen those old 'truth' ads from oh, a few years ago. remember that anti-smoking campaign where everybody did THIS EXACT SAME THING to show how many people die from smoking? it was terrorism then and now it's commercialized terrorism to promote a movie? honestly, one of the stupidest things i've seen. what did they do after 5 minutes on the ground? get up and hand out flyers?
  • Mira
    The woman asking 'What's happening?' just made the whole thing perfect.
  • ropêrt
    Weak. Corporate flash mobbing, um, I mean marketing, for what appears to be a crappy movie (and if what I've heard about the punchline is true, it's really bad).
  • Quenfis
    I would not Digg anything that promotes this film. "What is Happening"...to good cinema? Regardless of this promotion, the film will blow TJ Spray Painted Donkey.

    I did laugh when the one guy started to get on the ground too, then realized it was lame antics and walked off.
