- The Andromeda Strain is a fantastic 70's sci-fi movie, directed by Robert Wise who brought us 'The Day the Earth Stood Still', 'Run Silent, Run Deep', and 'The Haunting'. It was also the first film to be adapted from a Michael Crichton novel.
Thought I'd keep my editing skills in shape by editing a shiny new trailer for it.
In response to questions about the music, there are two songs used in this trailer, both from the soundtrack to Danny Boyle's 'Sunshine' (2007):
Track 06: Kanada's Death, Pt 1
Track 14: Capa Suits Up - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Who's watching this trailer in 2020 because of the Corona Virus outbreak?
yeap..
I beat yeah that this has already actually has happened.
i preparing bruh
Tsk tsk tsk, its called the KUNG-FLU
lol, I just recommended this movie on FB. I have seen this movie many times and it is ahead of its time.
That's my uncle, James Olson, who saves the world!
Mr Odd Man Hypothesis himself!
Robin Olson Can you ask your uncle to do it again? Haha.
Wow!!
Fan frm India...
Robin Olson spoilers!!!
I saw this movie when it was new and really liked it. Then, in 1978, I was going through an incredibly traumatic episode in my life when a friend came over late one night and drug me out to a movie. This was showing as a midnight movie and I remembered liking it, so it was where we ended up. Even though I had seen it before, the suspense and tension got me out of my own head and into the movie. When we left, I felt my despair settling back on me, but because of that break, I knew I was going to get through my problems and things would be good again. The movie has always held a special place in my heart.
Sounds like you had a great friend too!
Thanks for sharing your experience. Glad to hear you got through it. There is something special about films from this era and the 80s I think.
The Demon Seed would of been perfect in this movie
...So you’re telling me that this is a fan made trailer, using footage from the actual 1971 film? Wow. My hats off to you sir. I just watched the original 1971 trailer, and your version would not be out of place for anything made today.
Seeing this film in the theater as a young impressionable 13 year old, left a lasting impression on me.
me too. so funny. I snuck into the film at 11 and I was terrified. Also, completly clueless.
I also saw this as a kid, the sound track was terrifying!
This movie scared the crap out of me when it came out. Now I am living it.
You don't, fool. You fell for a scam.
The Blu-ray version was recently released. Watched it last night in my home theater. One of the best sci-fi movies ever!
I agree!
Glad someone else likes it too. Well crafted and very underrated.
And like me who saw it in the 70s as a 5 year old (dad was up and I was watching it because you just did what parents watched) it will haunt you for the rest of your life...I'm 51 now.
It’s ironic for obvious reasons that this year is The Andromeda Strain’s 50th Anniversary.
YES and it looked like it was shot three weeks ago! Amazing restoration. Oh, hello from 7 years later. LOL
When I watch this film, I am transported into their nightmare of dealing with this "Hellish Thing", they all are so good in this. When they see how Andromeda cannot survive in the narrow range of blood types, I relaxed, the mention of the rat exposed, and alive. Andromeda has mutated to a non infectious form. Then the danger escalates, Arthur Hill sees the gaskets melting, it mutated to a whole other monster. The actors are SUPERB. The script, SUPERB. Whoever did casting on this film nailed it.
I'm glad to learn from all these comments that this movie does, actually, have a following. It's just so earnest to what it tries to do. Martin Scorsese once discussed Robert Wise reputation for not imprinting his own stylistic choices onto a movie, but to let "story dictate style". Other directors became famous for a distinctive style of their own: you can watch one minute of 2001 and one minute of the Shining, and instantly be reminded that they were directed by the same person, and critics said this wasn't true of Wise. Scorsese replies that Wise did exercise directorial control of which stories he chose to film, and that's where he made his personal stylistic choices. I look at movies like this one, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Run Silent Run Deep, The Body Snatcher, Star Trek I, The Haunting, The Sand Pebbles, the Haunting, West Side Story and the Sound of Music, all of the Wise films I've seen, and what does tie them together is a strong moral sense, a sense of collective responsibility for moral good, in the face of the calamities of war, ignorance, the unknown. I love his movies, so.
I actually saw this two years later on television in the 70s when I was little. It's haunted me since. All I can say is thank God for Google and u tube. I finally got the movie title. I asked movie 70s end if world baby old man...it came up with this. I watched the trailer and yep..the crying baby..the old man and ...and . .the man getting a needle or punch in the arm from a torch with a light. That's how I remember it...the trailer showed all three.. I can relax now...andromeda strain...freak out.
This movie is even more specifically haunting today because of Arthur Hill’s timelessly closing line:
“Precisely, Senator. What do we do?” 🧼💦🤲🏻
Read the book, saw the movie, and now I'm living it. I'm smart enough to take this situation we have now seriously.
Eh...
99.8% survival rate lol
@@KTwist Two choices, try to avoid it ( not possible for people who deal extensively with the public) vaccination to prevent it, or let it "wash over" us to develop some sort of herd immunity (bad for people too old to fight it off). People need to pay special attention to the secondary infection that follows it (pneumonia) that, like the flu is the real killer. Double up on those antibiotics if you need to at times, to knock it out.
@@KTwist that is kinda true, but remember the quarentine... idk if it would have gone the same way with everyone acting like nothing was happening and spreading the disease even more
Missing context. On average about 98.2% of known COVID-19 patients in the U.S. survive, but each individual’s chance of dying from the virus will vary depending on their age, whether they have an underlying health condition and whether they are vaccinated. While people who are vaccinated can still get infected, these “breakthrough” cases are rare and vaccines dramatically reduce severe illness and death.
My most favorite movie of all-time. Bar None! No other movie is as important or special to me as The Andromeda Strain. Simply put, there IS no movie as incredibly done, so well acted, and just plain AWESOME as this. That crappy 2008 remake should never have been made, but even as bad as that film was, it takes absolutely nothing away from this complete masterpiece!
Best. Movie. Ever!
I agree. I saw it was a kid and was terrified. The female protagonist is a really wonderful character.
U clearly never saw "Bigtop Peewee"!
@@joehardway Yes, I did! Great movie.....just not my favorite!
A Sci fi classic, some great special effects, never get tired of watching it.
Very cool remade trailer for a very good early 70's science fiction movie. The last 10 minutes of this film are still intense to watch. Robert Wise did an outstanding job as director.
One of the Top Ten sci fi movies of all time. Yes, it's that good.
Fun-fact: this was published in the final days of Crichton’s time studying for his an M.D. He never practiced medicine a day in his life, but wanted to finish school anyway.
Yes, at Harvard - and this book was his first big hit. Then he wrote Jurassic Park, became a screenwriter, and wrote many more novels and scripts.
drjules888 a What I left out, and like, is that Crichton was disgusted with his classmates and people at Harvard.
Suddenly people wanted to sit next to him in the cafeteria. He questioned them saying he wasn’t interesting to them before and they are interested now because... because he is famous/novelist/best-selling novelist?
To be fair a *LOT* of us are like that when we meet famous people, but he makes a good point about those he already knew.
I saw this in High School. It was a big film in 1971.
Excellent and well done! This is one of my favorite movies. Great to see an updated trailer.
This was genuinely good. Best Sci-Fi movie, I've seen in a while.
Fantastic fan-made trailer! It really captures the intensity of this classic, the best sci-fi movie ever, IMO.
This is actually a good flick
When I was much younger, at the film's initial release, I thought that The Andromeda Strain was a little too 'dry'. I rediscovered this great film about fifteen years ago and now I can't say enough good things about it.
a very good flick - go look up Robert Wise's resume on imdb
Yes it is..
This is one of the most frightening films about a virus!
Thought I'd struck gold when I found this on VHS as a kid. Fantastic movie, very close to the book.
One of my all time favorite movies. Well done!
Saw it in '73, I was 11. Damn good movie.
This is a great re-visioning trailer for a great SciFi classic. Props to you. And good choice on the music. The Sunshine soundtrack is amazing.
I'm here because of Covid-19... The Andromeda strain, the Omega man, and I am legend brought me here.
don't forget Captain Trips
from mathesons book.
First being last man on Earth with Vincent Price
For it's time this movie was pretty modern. Yes coronavirus. Definitely brought me here. I remember this. Watching it in my pajamas and Buster Browns
me too!
Me too. Also see the Omega man staring Charlton Heston 1971.
@@joethekinghawk7514 great movie too. Did see it. 60s and 70s had there share of awesome movies for sure
The use of the Sunshine soundtrack puts new chills on this trailer/film. Loved both films.
this movie and the Andromeda strain would make a great double feature on dvd
"I'm scared, oh lord I'm scared!" oh Burton
I've seen some awful fan-made trailers in my day.
This one, on the other hand, is really well done.
My hat is off to you, sir.
This is a great film and it stands up well today!
Yes the realism in this movie is really incredible. Ahead of its time
Excellent work my friend, that's a great bit of edit. Really gives a teaser of the movie without blowing the pivotal twists.
I was first introduced to this back in the seventies watching the movie on TV read the book several times and then later on finally getting the DVD and watching the unedited version. A really good movie for its time I consider it better than the remake they did.
GREAT Movie!!! Highly recommended!
Perfect Trailer with a perfect choice of scenes, music and editing!
EXCELLENT project!
Really well done.
Best fan made trailer ever.
Masterpiece!
2008 remake is really a cheap version of this amazing 1971 movie.
Shiny new trailer!
There are so many split focus shots in this movie... I HAVE to watch it!
This looks awesome. Will watch one day for sure
Read the book, saw the film in the theater, and saw the original trailer many times. In many ways, this trailer is far better. Well done, for video/audio capture, for piecing together snippets and events that are simultaneously misleading and accurate, and making a good soundtrack (I'm still partial to Gil Meleé's electronic work, but you made good use of your own selections). Given the film itself, your effort is to be applauded most vigorously. Very well done.
I am watching this while in quarantine.
I saw that movie 10 times at least, I am awestruck as it did not age. Great movie!
Firstly I'll say I have a soft spot for SciFi films.
The science fiction films released in the late 60's and early 70's had a certain class about them and maybe not that far fetched.
The Andromeda Strain (WMD's anyone), 2001 A Space Odyssey (people landed on the moon a year after the release of this film in '68), Colossus The Forbin Project ( computers with few well placed viruses shutting down banking and the security of countries) and Solaris, the Russian version not remake( ok not much of this has happen, but still looks good : ) ).
Guess what. I saw that movie I don't even remember how many times. And obviously, I have the book. And 2001 Space Odyssee remains one of my best Stanley Kubrick's film (with "The Shining"). I 've got on Google books a kind of diary written in the early 70' concerning the filming of "2001", with drawing, and remarks. Very interesting.
I still enjoy sci-fi from the 50' with the kind of paranoïd atmosphere. :-)
emilyn12 The book you talking about is "The Lost Worlds of 2001".
It's funny you should mention that, I'm sitting here looking at copy of it sitting on my bookshelf, it was hard too track down, got a copy from a bookshop in Adelaide South Australia.
The book gives fans of book or film an insight into what their ideas were and how they changed over time.
The different ending they had and why they couldn't use them was good.
Arthur C Clarke wrote a book called "How The World Was One" all about mass communications, it worth a read if you can find it :- ).
For sure, I will, and tell you about it. :-)
emilyn12 Just do look around a fair bit, some people are just ripping people off badly, got my copy off EBay.
I'll try and find bookshops name for you.
Thank you very, very much. It is king :-)
I loved the book so much I think I'm going to watch this sometime!!!!!!!
Just a brilliant film , great acting, great writing and direction.
The irony……….
This is extremely well done. Good show! :D
Dude...this version of the trailer is well done
Very good work! I am still hunting for the longest trailer I remember from the movie, with the tagline "Is it science fiction, or science fact?" I think this is the first movie I saw and then ran out to buy the book, and I was about 9 years old then. Years later, when my son was about that age, he was a Jurassic Park fan and was surprised that I'd read the same author as him decades earlier.
This is a really well done non-Hollywood trailer! I want to see this movie! Oh, it's the same movie from 1971... Still one of my favorites.
This movie is great
An excellent must see movie.
^ This ^ Far better than the official trailers.
Call my favorite movies very well done I watch it quite a lot
Wow wonderful work
Also here because of COVID19, I'm half way through the book and loving it so far. Will watch the movie once finished
Just finished the book. Man, it was amazing.
This was a really well done trailer. At first, I was sure it was a professionally made new version of a trailer for some remaster release.
Is this the actual music form the film???????? wow, seems ahead of its time. Im watching this TODAY!
This music is not from the movie / film. As you can read it says: Danny Boyle's 'Sunshine' (2007). This trailer is from The Andromeda Strain (1971), and the composer of that movie is Gil Melle. But the music (these two songs) you're hearing are from the album Sunshine (year 2007, as discribed). The album, from 2007 with these 2 songs, are composed by John Murphy. That's why it sounds ahead of it's time, because it's not from that time (1971). These 2 songs are from the movie (and soundtrack) Sunshine: Danny Boyle is the director, and John Murphy is the composer (Cillian Murphy is one of the actors in the movie). I hope there's no confussion anymore?
No, it's neither a original trailer, nor the actual music.
But this movie is still a masterpiece of SciFi.
if you want ahead-of-it's-time electronic music check out Raymond Scott, Manhattan Research Inc
.No. It's not the original score. The score for this film is fantastic and just as timeless as the film, itself!
Well stated.
Much closer to the book than the so called remake, I saw this movie when it first came out I loved it then and I love it now.
Watched this movie back. In 1997 in biology class at Campbell high school in Smyrna Ga
Well done trailer!
Best damn trailer I have ever seen, the film is more tame but the trailer delivers the intensity you feel when the shit starts hitting the fan in the film.
Awesome remake of the original trailer. I think this movie is the best adaptation of all of Crichton's books.
Love it!
Movies were so good back in the day !!!
Oh Man I remember this movie back in the 70's! And now there's the coronavirus!
I see the Covid-19 outbreak is bringing everyone back to these classic. See I am legend and the Omega man.
I loved this movie my whole dang life!😃👍✨💖✨
@MalkyRandom This was an amazingly put together trailer!
Nice, I just bought the book and saw that the film was on TCM the other day.
Great job!
Very well done. Clean edits, well paced, music fits beautifully and it fits the "atmosphere" of the film. It's not "in your face", but neither was the movie.
10 out of 10
I thought this was the actual trailer. Thanks for pulling me in, I almost gave this gem a pass.
Read the book when I was 13...awesome.
Great Job!
I Love This Movie!
Nice job James.
Such a good film, Crichton is a real nerd when it comes to facts, figures and the actual science of sci- fi. The film portrays the cold emotionless decision makers of the world perfectly. well worth reading or watching.
but he died a few years ago? if I remember correctly
Great modern trailer
Nice work! Quite the improvement from the original trailer!
I could not believe a trailer from the 70s could be so good. It appears I was right.
This is not the original Trailer
Clearly this should be remade. With a new strain. And Cathy Bates.
Hello people, thanks for the comments.
There are two songs used in this trailer, both from the soundtrack to Danny Boyle's 'Sunshine' (2007). The soundtrack was mostly written by John Murphy, who also composed the brilliant 'In the house - In a heartbeat' for 28 Days Later.
The tracks I used from the Sunshine soundtrack are:
Track 06: Kanada's Death, Pt 1
Track 14: Capa Suits Up
I watched last night for the first time and it was a good film it has a bit of suspense and some funny moments as well
This is the stuff that scares me. I hope to god nothing like this ever happens.
That is what adds to this, though unlikely it is possible.
Was deciding whether to watch or not. Think I will now
This movie in 71 when i was 14 inspired me to study medic., but I chose technology instead, but I know much more than most doctors do. I developing my own synthetic genome to have many more thousands to millions of new genomic algorithmic interface on my thinking cap that will be wireless and help me design an machine intelligent interface to link mind to mind communication from person to person.
I was sad to hear, that the last of the main actors, has passed away.
Good job.
Just in case any1 wants to know "whatever happened to James Olson?", check out imdb. His great-nephew posted that JO is now happily retired in Malibu, where he owns a "very cool" beachfront house...(glad to hear it!)
Great score by Gil Melle!
Greatest SciFi movie is Andromeda strain like it
I think this new trailer ruined the atmosphere of the original one, mainly due of the music|soundeffects. They are so common and superused and so they flat any feeling, making this story as any other one. The original one has that awesome soundtrack, and even the montage gives you that claustrophobic, danger and mystery feeling that make the movie so amazing and unique.
Ah, early 70s's movies, when really good movies were like reading a really good book.
This music is not from the movie / film. As you can read it says: Danny Boyle's 'Sunshine' (2007). This trailer is from The Andromeda Strain (1971), and the composer of that movie is Gil Melle. But the music (these two songs) you're hearing are from the album Sunshine (year 2007, as discribed). The album, from 2007 with these 2 songs, are composed by John Murphy.

These 2 songs are from the movie (and soundtrack) Sunshine: Danny Boyle is the director, and John Murphy is the composer (Cillian Murphy is one of the actors in the movie). I hope there's no confussion anymore?
My gawd, it's full of win!
