What's Going on fellow fans?

I just received the "First Draft" of the Trailer from Jewlz The Director, and we're proud to say that this is the world premier of some of the trailer, Right here at BigLOnline.com! The wait is over! Check it out. - Much Love and respect to the director of the Documentary. Tommy aka. Jewlz, thanks to him for letting us get this before everybody else, and ofcourse thanks to everybody involved with the dvd, Big Don, Pucci, Dangerzone Films.

Martin / Soobax and I are two of the very first people to have seen this first teaser trailer, since we both got an early access look before the rest of the public. That's an amazing feeling. A mega exclusive years in the making. It looks well filmed and edited, better quality / higher budget than I anticipated and it looks like they interviewed / talked to some key people as well, at least one of whom (Gilda Terry) is no longer with us. The more I see, the more slow and aggravating the wait feels as a fan. But it's so beyond worth it and I can't help myself.

Thx 4 postin this man.

Sounds like there will be more trailer or teaser?

Peace 1Love

[Kage]

co-sign, thanks for posting. I really cant wait for this.

[Soobax]

Jewlz might do another Trailer when it's getting closer to the releasedate of the dvd. But it's coming! ...even before you know it! So keep your eyes and ears open for the news.

[noeamvp]

oh man!!!! finally some evidence that its going down. props to you people for making my day. this is awesome! can't wait to order the dvd and watch the whole thing with my friends and celebrate L to the fullest!!!

[patKa]

OMG Yeeess, i can't believe that the documentary will be soon released. I went crazy about the trailer damn, this made my day for sure. Thank you guys for posting this exclusively.

[Soobax]

No doubt, it's an amasing feeling to know that the release of the dvd is getting much closer, and that is actually IS coming ! I alreayd knew it was coming, but with my experince following Big L, it havent always been easy with people saying this and that. But hey, its coming! I can't wait either! it's going to be amazing! it's as simple as that!

i can't fucking wiat for this man, its been too long.

anyways its looks cool so far. i doubt it, but i was hoping they could get a hold of punchline rappers like cassidy, fabolous, los, and then more established artists like jay, wayne, lupe, and then the more conscience rappers like talib, common, mos def, doom, and see how they felt about big l(good or bad)

[D.E.N.]

[patKa]

Will the raw file of the trailer be available for download ?

Agreed, they should get some other rappers outside of those that knew him.
It would be nice to hear from camron, digga and mcgruff from c.o.c. as well.
Also nas, wu tang, eminem and pete rock. I cant wait for this dvd to come out.

[patKa]

And the documentary itself should be available for buying on this site, right ?

[The Big Sleep]

Yes, there will probably be another teaser trailer sometime further down the line once a release date is selected and finalized. Just so everybody knows how this material spreads so quickly, I sent this to the DJ Premier Blog, NahRight and the T.R.O.Y. blog yesterday and now it's everywhere. (To see some of the (other) places it's spread thus far, check the Blogs / Forums thread.)

Glad you enjoyed our exclusive. (And for the record, you saw it because it's continually moving through the internet as I write this.) Nice first post by the way.

Ya know, I asked that question as soon as I saw it as well and sadly the apparent answer is no. (The only exception I can think of would be if someone else somehow released the raw / source file and/or released it with tags / digital watermarks on it.)

But here're a few high(er) quality freeze frames / screengrabs / screenshots (with a few more / others in the Big L battle thread):





















And we could talk for days about who doesn't appear in the trailer and who they might've missed or in theory could've gotten to but I'm just glad that one person who I didn't think I'd be hearing more from is there. Ms. Gilda "Pinky" Terry. Actual video footage. That alone is worth the price of admission for me. Plus what looks like battle footage? Sold.

We're not sure (and possibly they're not sure) how distrubution is gonna work right now, at this moment. However, as the inevitable release date does move closer and we find out more, we'll let you know. Chances are the film itself won't be sold directly through this site but through a site that we'll link you to (though of course I'm just speculating). So yes, it'll be available through here one or another (directly or indirectly, most likely the latter). Once Jewlz tells us, we'll tell you.

I'm not sure of the details as of yet but for now, (as has been pointed out in the past) foreigners should beware of region coding. If the DVD is coded for region one and you don't live in the United States, Canada or Mexico, it may not play on your DVD players (but still should in computers, I think). We'll have to ask Dangerzone films if the DVDs will be region free (region zero) or not. Until then, take that into consideration if you don't have a region one (North American) DVD player or if having a region one DVD would be a hassle for you.

Hm, i know very little about regions and stuff but ok i'll have checked everything out by the time it drops. As you said it's a bit early to know how the distrubiton will work so i'll patiently wait for some more info.

[Aristotle]

Yes!!

Can't wait for this.
