[Movies] The Upcoming Movies Trailer Thread

That's exactly what it's going to be, otherwise there won't be a happy ending. With the crew going into some sort of cryogenic sleep and going presumably on an interstellar romp, the kids would be dead for a while by the time they got back.

I predict that the wormhole will allow them to leave and come back to precisely the same time so there's no lag at all, which is just stupid. But Hollywood just doesn't understand science or if they do they assume we're too dumb to know the difference.
From what I have heard it's not a wormhole type thing. This offers some insight on what might be the movies take on "warp", "warp bubbles", etc. : http://sploid.gizmodo.com/interstellar-may-be-the-first-movie-that-shows-a-real-1577548722

That's all guesses.
It's been reported that Nolan has been talking to astrophysicists and aerospace experts about it. I'm sure one of them has been Dr. Harold "Sonny" White, at the Advanced Propulsion Theme Lead for the NASA Engineering Directorate. Back in 2012 I wrote this article about his efforts, explaining why something like the type of travel portrayed in Interstellar may become a reality.
It's actuallybased off of the work of Kip Thorne. A physicist who's famous for his work on wormholes and how they may make time travel possible. It really depends on how they work it, but time travel in movies usually doesn't end well. I'll probably see it no matter what.
 
The Book of Life




This is a new animated film produced by Guillermo del Toro and written and directed by Jorge Gutierrez, the creator of the Nickelodeon series El Tigre: the Adventures of Manny Rivera.
 
It looks great and I'll definitely see in theatres, but I have two qualms:

1) The characters are way too over designed, especially in the two powerful spirits. It's the equivilant of putting too much bling on your serve (Office Space reference). Simple works better, especially in character design and ESPECIALLY in animation. Plus, Grim Fandango did something with a similar setting (kind of) and they did it with minimalist, yet iconic designs.

2) Really didn't like the appearance of the pop song halfway through. It killed the momentum the trailer had going for it, making it feel like earlier (aka: not good) Dreamworks movies.

I think the characters look fine. It's just a different style of design, and looks very similar to the kind of artwork and decorations I see for Day of the Dead celebrations:



As for the pop song: It's a trailer. It's practically a requirement that it have a pop song in the middle. That song very likely isn't in the movie.
 
Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods




So...yeah, this is apparently getting a theatrical release. It's the first new Dragon Ball Z movie in 17 years and is written by series creator Akira Toriyama. The plot, essentially, will be that Goku fights a god.

Apparently Toriyama got ideas with the last DBZ game that came out and might possibly continue the series from this movie.

Which means a lot more work ahead for the Abridged team.

And it's not like Team Four Star was actually anything approximating caught up to begin with.
 
Can't wait for Book of Life, always loved Jorge's style!

And Battle of Gods is going to be in US theaters...I want to see that. ALSO- for those of you who hated GT, there are subtle hints the writer did as well.
 
You guys do not understand the genius that is Academy Award Winner Nicolas Cage. Appreciate him. Love him. Love the good movies. Love the bad movies. Love the low-budget movies. Love the big budget movies. Love the Cage. For one day he shall pass away and we will realize what we had. Something amazing.
 
Nicolas Cage won an Academy Award for being the Best Actor in the entire world for one whole calendar year.

Nicolas Cage was also paid a large sum of money to run down a street screaming "I'M A VAMPIRE I'M A VAMPIRE I'M A VAMPIRE"


He is our greatest living American. Can you imagine what he's going to be like when he gets like. Really old and stops giving a shit like Michael Caine?
 
Not to mention every time he did that finger pointing in Ghost Rider, I swear he was gonna start shaking his leg all Elvis-like.

I don't hate the guy and find him very entertaining. He CAN be a good actor, but I don't think he's the same award-winning guy he used to be.
 
And to be fair, he was awesome in Kick-Ass. Mind you, it was BECAUSE he hammed it up. He seemed so hilariously at home in his Adam Westian mannerisms.
 
Yeah, I didn't like Kick-Ass but he was easily the best part of it.

I peered into the abyss (his IMDB page), and before those two movies, it's REAL bad until Adaptation in 2002 :( I hope he works with the Coen Brothers again soon. or maybe Tarantino decides to revive his career a la Travolta
 
Here's the things about Cage: The guy doesn't give a shit. He's the human equivalent of the Honey Badger. He will make ANY movie if the money is even half of what he asked for or an equal amount of Taco Bell gift cards.

But seriously, he's one of those rare actors who just seems to love acting so much he can do amazing movies and terribly shitty movies but never phones it in. He always gives 100%. Thats why I love him. He's just a joy to watch no matter how bad the movie.

I used to hate the guy, then I developed an appreciation for just that. It's hard to dislike someone who so appreciates their job. It's why Pete Holmes is the only comedian I like who constantly giggles at his own jokes. That weirdo is so damn full of glee.

That's exactly how it was for me, CG. In college I could not comprehend why my friends liked him; I couldn't stand most of his movies. Then something clicked in recent years and now I get it and enjoy seeing him. I won't go out of my way to see him in something, but his presence I now count as a plus.

Season of the Witch? I've seen that 3 times on purpose because he makes me smile.
