Yeah that line had me shaking my head.
A lot of the "fun" of the movie is gonna come down to what they can license or not (and what they think is appropriate for a mainstream western market). The Iron Giant thing makes sense for an American Audience because it's more recognizable thanGundam RX-78 & Ultraman, etc... although as a Gundam fan I reaaaaaaally would like to see the RX-78 make it in.
I can see Ultraman being changed to a Power Ranger for the US.
Hopefully they keep Mecha-Godzilla though, that's worldwide enough.
So many references, I have to wonder how expensive the rights for this are lol. Akiras (sortakinda) bike, Delorian, Iron Giant, Freddy Krueger..
edit: Didn't read the book, so I have no idea what to expect.
All these mixed opinions on the book. Guess this is basically Hollywood's Sword Art Online.
Why? I never understood why people get shook up about a trailer bigging itself, or its source material, up. Not like they're going to say "based a nerds wet dream" are they.
"Ernest Cline's Holy Grail of Pop Culture."
fuck

I hope it's good, but that trailer didn't do much for me besides "hey I know that thing!"
"Ernest Cline's Holy Grail of Pop Culture."
DOTA 2I'm confused.

So far I've seen
The Delorean
Freddy Krueger
Iron Giant
Harley Quinn
Deadshot
Bike from Akira maybe?
That scorpion seems vaguely familiar too
I'm in the minority on GAF, I read the book and enjoyed it, though I didn't think it was a master piece. It was a fun, fluffy, light romp for me. If the movie does the same, I'll consider it mission accomplished.

It looks like 2 video game references so far? We got Halo Assault Rifle and Duke Nukem
From the panel thread.you guys should get some screens of those references I'm not seeing, like Duke Nukem and the Halo rifle.
