Made a new trailer for Star Wars using a clip from Interstellar

"I already foresaw that,"  Óskar Örn Arnarson, who made a trailer from the sample of the latest Star Wars movie, The Force Awakens, and Interstellar.

In it, you see Matthew McConaughey go through the whole emotional scale while you watch the sample. Óskar put this trailer on YouTube and to make a long story short, it has been a hit among internet users.

In the six days it has been available on the internet, it has been viewed 8 million times. "I posted it in the morning and then I went to sleep. When I woke up, everything was going fast and has not stopped since then," Óskar says excited.

Profit-making enterprise

When asked if such a success does mean big amounts, he answers: according to what I've read, the estimate is two thousand dollars per million viewers," and the reporter becomes proud on his behalf. Óskar adds: "I don't own the content used in the video, so it's unlikely there will be any profit to begin with."

He expects that the video will get him a lot of followers and in the long run, it will mean a profit for him if he continues to make videos.

"Good Morning America and ABC News have already contacted me and asked for permission to show my trailer," Óskar says and adds that altogether five people at the latter station called him.

Not afraid of a lawsuit

He says that he does not fear the Americans who are very prone to prosecution. "Actually, on the contrary. I think that this has a good marketing effect on both the films," he says and adds that the Star Wars trailer has already increased the worth of the Disney-company for the amount of two billion dollars and thinks it is likely that he has something to do with it.

As for the future, he says that he has carefully considered his position, but he has not paid enough attention to this trailer production, but thinks that this popularity gives him a boost.

"I've been working at my advertising agency 99 and writing a book that reveals how to get five million visitors in 24 hours."

Óskar says that he even expects to follow in the footsteps of famous Icelanders who have promoted themselves through YouTube, such as Stoney, who got a contract at Pepsi after a great success at the internet media.
