Watch an exclusive trailer for WWF’s short film, Astonish Me. The film, from acclaimed writer Stephen Poliakoff and director Charles Sturridge, showcases some of the extraordinary species recently found around the world and has been made to celebrate the wildlife charity’s 50th anniversary. It will debut on July 29 exclusively in Odeon cinemas across the UK, and be shown before screenings of this year’s summer blockbusters.
WWF says that 15,000 new species are discovered every year. Among them such creatures as the barreleye with its unique transparent forehead and rotating eyes, an over half a meter long Chan’s megastick and the colossal squid. WWF invites people to check their website ‘for exclusive sneak peeks, interviews with the cast and crew, amazing behind-the-scenes footage and to find out more about the making of Astonish Me Competition’. As well as to win in the ‘Oddest One Out’ photo competition.
To win competitors have to guess which the ‘fake’ creature on one of the three photos. The main prize is a conservation trip to find out how new species discoveries are made, explore wildlife and go behind the scenes at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. Other prizes include limited edition Astonish Me posters, WWF memberships, Odeon cinema tickets and more.
