Ivan Guerro has been mining old celluloid in service of “premake” movie trailers for a while now, sending films like Raiders Of The Lost Ark, The Empire Strikes Back, and Forrest Gump back a few decades in cinema history, but his latest clip may be his masterpiece. Reimagining the Pixar favorite Up as a 1960s Disney live-action adventure in the mold of The Love Bug and The Absent-Minded Professor, starring Spencer Tracy and Kirk Douglas, Guerro’s Up pastes together two dozen old films to create a seamless trailer for a movie your parents wish they got to watch when they were little.
