Super curious to see how this sells compared to gits. I might argue that gits had a better trailer and comparable star power. So how much the off camera talent difference and lack of controversy affect sales? Super interesting.

A fuckin' lot more people in America know what Blade Runner is than Ghost in the Shell though.

I think I'm happy enough with this trailer that I don't need to watch anymore clips or trailers that might come out before release.

Might rewatch Sicario again though.

The visuals certainly look really good, but something feels a little off to me. I'm not sure how to put it, but it's like the movie looks a bit too clean (if that makes any sense). It put me off the most, when Gosling's character entered the casino(?). It didn't look abandoned at all and not dirty either, considering the environment outside. Really weird. It doesn't really evoke a noir feeling for me.

Love the original movie so much and I can recognize that the visuals here are gorgeous, but Gosling's performance looks underwhelming. I know I'm in the minority here as people really love what he brings to films, but I could barely get through Drive and Only God Forgives because of him. Even a good script like The Nice Guys couldn't get him to emote.

That said, it sounds like the score will be on point.

I think it'll do better but not that much better. For whatever reason I think America has something against cyberpunk in general. I would love to be proven wrong.

Here's two png captures I made from prores version of the trailer (it's still 1080p footage, which means that the movie is likely not being mastered in 4K). Looks nice and uncompressed, good wallpaper material.

I'm sure there will be grime. The work on the visuals isn't done. And they're not showing everything so far.

And Robin Wright's character said the world is built on a wall. I don't know if that's literal or metaphorical or both. Could be saying the wall that divides humans and replicants is the ability to procreate. "There is an order to things. That's what we do here, keep order." I think that line blurring between replicant and human is what'll plunge society into chaos. Everyone freaking out and being paranoid over who is a replicant and human when there is little to no distinction.

I wonder if it's less about plunging society into chaos and more about humanity forcing itself to face and answer the question "Why don't we just let the replicants take over? It's not like we're good for this place."

Because I'm also wondering if the cities look a little cleaner because Replicants are populating the cities now, working in them, cleaning them up. The wastelands fall into deeper disrepair - that's where the grunge is going as the robots make the world livable again.

It'd be an interesting notion to pursue: What if our creations evolved to be better and more worthy of survival than we are?

The visuals are still more subdued than I'd like, but maybe they work better in the movie. I can't help but think everything looks flat and boring right now though.

Like anything in Hollywood, they'll probably fuck it up and make me so uncomfortably sick to my stomach of embarrassment that i will have to leave the movie before it ends, but i guess i'll watch it anyway.

Oh and can we please stop making Han Solo run or jump?

I love Scarlet, but I cannot remember the last movie with her as the primary lead (aka, not Marvel) that didn't bomb horribly.

Some of you are too obsessed with the "grimy, grungy" aesthetic​ of the first movie. In universe this takes place 30 years later so expecting technology to have remained constant is beyond absurd

Maybe it's also because they're shooting digitally? Barely a speck of film grain.

It really does look very different from the original. I guess we're just gonna have to deal. It looks great in its own right.

Haven't seen those myself, so didn't feel good about recommending those. Definitely been on my personal list to check out for some time though. :)

Both good movies, but def check out Half Nelson, Gosling was nominated for an Oscar for that movie

Also he was in The Notebook, Murder by Numbers (When I first noticed he was talented) and Remember the Titans

Read the book, watch the theatrical cut, watch the director's cut, then the final cut. After that your good to go.

Then watch the making of "Dangerous Days", wich is one of the best.

(and kinda shows that Ridley Scott only makes good movies when the production is a trainwreck)

I hope the wastelands are a callback to the nuclear wastelands from the book.

This is probably such an obvious theory it won't be true, but I'm gonna say Gosling is Deckard's son he had with Rachel. He's some kinda hybrid or something.

It looks like a slightly more minimalist take on the BR world. Let's not forget that it's set 30 years after the original as well. I'd expect it to look a bit sleeker, we are basically jumping from the 80s to the 2010s.

Blade Runner is well known in America. No one has ever heard of GiTS.

I'm glad they're taking their own approach to the look of the film. I figured they'd go that route the moment Deakins came on board because that pretty much guaranteed that the film would be shot using on a spherical format with Zeiss lenses which produce an extremely pristine image without a lot of the anamorphic artifacts that defined the first film's look.

Followed by "On the Edge of Blade Runner", another good doc presented by Mark Kermode that features more insight and interviews too. Like Ridley being kicked off the film for good so he went to the DGA who put him right back on. Lol

I think 2049 looks more detached. Similar aesthetics but a different take.

Casino scene felt a little weak, yeah. Movie won't look as grungy as the original, but I think it looks great.
