‘Primer’ Director Shane Carruth Shares Pitch Trailer for His Unmade Movie, ‘A Topiary’

by

Writer/director Shane Carruth has only directed two films in the past sixteen years: his breakout time travel movie Primer in 2004, and the cerebral drama Upstream Color in 2013. He’s previously teased other projects that never came to pass, and now he’s shared a pitch trailer for one of those potential features, titled A Topiary. But Carruth warns that this could get wiped from the internet soon since he utilizes unlicensed footage from other movies, so watch it quickly before it disappears.

Last night, Carruth shared the following video from the Upstream Color Twitter account, along with the message, “This will probably get taken down because I lifted a bunch of shots from films.”
