<title>Jeff Bezos &amp; Len Riggio Battle in a Monster Movie Book Trailer</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><iframe width="570" height="320" frameborder="0" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/8Sum03K6ycE"></iframe></p>
<p>In his new book trailer (embedded above), author <strong>Andy Laties</strong> staged a Godzilla and King Kong-style battle between the founders of Amazon and Barnes &amp; Noble.</p>
<p>The action-packed video is for the upcoming book, <a href="http://www.sevenstories.com/book/?GCOI=58322100389500" target="_blank"><em>Rebel Bookseller: Why Indie Businesses Represent Everything You Want To  Fight for, from Free Speech To Buying Local To Building Communities</em></a>. An illustrated <strong>Jeff Bezos</strong> starred as Amazilla and  <strong>Len Riggio</strong> played Barnes Kong.   <strong>Rebecca Migdal</strong> directed and illustrated the trailer.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;v=8Sum03K6ycE#!" target="_blank">Here&#8217;s the plot of the trailer</a>: &#8220;Barnes Kong is on a rampage! The simian chain bookstore monster could go on stomping on independent bookstores and kidnapping dead authors forever, but the fearsome Amazilla has other plans: he wants in on the action. As the two battle with their laser e-readers, they destroy every public institution in sight. Can the Rebel Bookseller save the day, rescue Emily Dickinson and bring back a community of books?&#8221;</p>
