YOU’VE probably seen this by now but I love it so much I couldn’t let it go by without putting it up here.

Using a massive range of footage from old films and adventure seriels, Ivan Guerrero – aka whoiseyevan on You Tube – has created this trailer for The Empire Strikes Back, if it were a 1950s sci-fi film, made in amazing 3D.

This is a beautiful piece of work and you can feel the love in every frame. What’s more, if you go through to his You Tube channel, you can see similar creations for Ghostbusters and Indiana Jones to name but two.

And if you’re interested, the clips came from … deep breath … Flash Gordon (Deadline at Noon, Conquers the Universe), The Phantom Planet, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, Invasion of the Animal People, Man Beast, Lunar Walker, Golden Bat (Ogon Batto), The Mysterians, Captain Midnight, First Spaceship on Venus, The Flying Saucer, The Fighting Devil Dogs, The Outer Limits (Second Chance, Soldier, I Robot, The Sixth Finger), Things to Come, Space Patrol, Atragon, Terror in the Midnight Sun, Forbidden Planet, Rocketship X-M, Latitude Zero, Space Flight, Metropolis, The Jetsons, Devil Girl From Mars, Tobor the Great, The Alligator People, The Return of the Fly, Abominable Snowman of the Himalayas, Starman (Attack from Space), Marvel Super Heroes (Iron Man), The Cyclops, The Sea Hawk, Kings Row, Mahler Symphony No. 6, Gustav Hoists The Planets (Mars), and The Empire Strikes Back Radio Drama
