Fede Alvarez is from Uruguay and he produced this short film. It cost only $300 to make and has some pretty cool special effects and is actually really interesting for only a 4 min video. Well anyway, after putting it on youtube he started getting emails from hollywood directors and he finally signed with sam Raimi, the guy who directed all the Spiderman movies for $30 mil. Thats right, he spent $300 and was given a $30 mil deal. Its crazy. The movie that they will be working on will be from scratch but will definitely be similar to the short film. BBC News
