the dope report

Friend of The Report, Decon sends us word of a depraved new documentary on the madness of sleep deprivation, starring Vice Magazine’s Gavin McInnes. Rapper producer Jay Electronica composed a dark ode to ‘A Million in the Morning’ which is synopsized as follows:

Mike Relm’s brilliant audio and video mashups have been a TDR favorite for years, and everyone will soon know why. The native San Francisco DJ recently cut his own version of the latest Iron Man 2 trailer so impressive that director and all-around awesome dude Jon Favreau recommended him to Paramount Pictures marketing team. Favreau confirmed today on his Twitter account that Relm now gets to cut an official Iron Man 2 spot for television:

@Jon_Favreau: Paramount hired DJ @mikerelm to cut together an IM2 TV spot after I showed them his trailer remix. Very cool.

Check out Relm’s IM2 remix above. Check back in for Relm’s official TV spot as soon it it’s released. [Mike Relm]
