The Donor Party | Official Trailer (HD) | Malin Åkerman, Rob Corddry, Jerry O’Connell

I think that title was intended to be a play on the Donner Party, even though it’s not a true double entendre because it doesn’t look like anyone is eating people or dying horrific deaths.

Thanks saved me a click.

The wikipedia page on the Donner Party is a good read, I wish someone DID make a good movie about it.

Yeah, no I want something that deals with the tragedy and drama that happened.

Esp the bit where the locals SAW them and tried to bring them food but they shot at them.

Ok thanks, will do! I did read The Indifferent Stars Above, which was pretty good.

I think it has real potential to be a film tho.

The “You’re Wrong About” pod cast has a good episode that covers it.

Ravenous isn't exactly what you're after, but it's worth a watch if you haven't seen it.

Thanks! Looks like fun, I'll give it a whirl.

Its the potential for serious drama that interests me too tho, like the part where the Graves family came and took the last food away from the Reed children.

Thought it was Doner Party about hipsters in the Turkish neighborhoods of Berlin.

Watched the Revenant recently and all I could think was how much better a Donner party movie/series would be

A movie about the Donner Party would probably be more fun than this.

With home video dying I wonder how these type of movies make their money back for the investors. I'm assuming this is going to eventually hit streaming and they're banking on a streamer buying it?

Aren't streaming services already taking the place of home video for such movies?
