That looks really good. Hoult's only line in the trailer was the best thing about it, a direct jab at Edison.
Psshh you think Big Oil would allow the media corporations they own equal screen time to a man who advocated free energy? Wake up.
I was just reading about a Blade Runner anime. Is this going to be the one that bridges the gap between the two movies?
That's what I understand... and it looks way more real than I was expecting. There have been quite a few animated movies that have a very realistic look to them lately... that tech has come a long way. The latest Resident Evil, and a Starship Troopers were two that I've watched in the last couple of weeks that were quite well done. I have high hopes for the Blade Runner gap-filler.
James Cameron is returning with Tim Miller to co-direct the next installment of Terminator. Along with Linda Hamilton and Arnold. And its going to be a direct sequel to Terminator 2, negating the last 3 movies. I am optimistic, but I've now been burned three times in a row. So who knows.
All the teasers look like some pretty good fake outs - like Ren extending his hand to Rey, or who Luke is talking about with the "power" comment, or whether or not Ren blows up Leia's ship. I don't think there are actually any spoilers in there. But, there are two things from that trailer that make me excited that this will be good: - Snoke. That we get to see him instead of just the hologram and that he has a bigger role is going to be great for the tension. Plus, you know Andy Serkis is going to nail it. - The visuals. The first trailer teased those spaceships-on-skis that were kicking up the red soil, and this one shows it even more. That's fantastic attention to detail in creating worlds with features not seen before. (And, and ice fox!) Just so far and away better than the awful stuff from Episodes 1-3. Can't wait.
Without his direct autocratic grip on the entire project, Im still wary. He's not had the same sort of record, or any, of finding and growing talent like Speilberg has when producing.
Im not sure what Cameron's role will be aside from producer either. The director will be Tim Miller and there is no way Cameron would ever share directorial duties with someone. But you're right, he supposedly an awful tyrant to work for, but it yields better returns than literally anyone else. Cameron also said that Terminator: Genisys was a fantastic movie. Obviously there was a gun to his wife's head just off-camera or something, but c'mon. The rights to the entire franchise revert back to him in 2019, so he could be as dictatorial as he wants if he waits that long.
If he's producing on-set, it could yield fantastic results. Like Strange Days, which is a lost masterpiece that should have hit it big. That was more a Cameron movie than anything you'll ever see. On the other hand, he also produced Dark Angel.
I swear they must have funded some deep sea dive for him to get him to say Genysis was anything but pure shit. Movie press is hilariously bad sometimes. I remember seeing Jason Bateman talking to the camera with a straight face say the very below par Mike Judge film Extract was "Office Space 2.0."
I don't have high hopes, but I really don't think they have to do much to surpass The Force Awakens. I know I'm alone there. I'm still at a loss as to how the same people who constantly shit on episode 3 thought that was a masterpiece. How was Palpatine's takeover not way better thought out and more interesting than that super death star bullshit? Really though, with Star Wars it doesn't have to be that great for me to enjoy. Even with the weaker installments, I've watched them 5-6 times.
Isn't there a tv series basically doing the same thing with the Xmen franchise? This just adds a horror bent and the Edward Furlong look alike from Stranger Things.
