BROOKSBANK CREATES NOTEWORTHY TRAILER

The “Ori” trailer makes a play for gamers’ hearts.

A mystical, spritely little creature falls from the heavens, landing near a furry and plump bear-like animal with a softly glowing face. This is Ori’s mother, and we watch as the little guy, Ori, is raised in a fantasy forest straight out of a Hayao Miyazaki film. All seems idyllic until a monster of an owl enters the picture. Lightning flashes, the owl takes thunderous steps toward Ori and we catch glimpses of Ori bounding around the forest with light-footed quickness.

What happens next in the teaser could bring on the tears.
