[Movies] The Upcoming Movies Trailer Thread

The first was great, I hope the second lives up to it:

Firth is back. You can briefly see him near the end there.

I hope their villain is as over-the-top as Jackson was in the first movie, or else the tone wouldn't be right IMO. If it's Jeff Bridges, we're probably good. He can pull that off.

looks like we were all wrong. It's not "Creed", it's "Rocky Balboa" with a dash of "Days of Thunder"

This is exactly what I thought it was going to be and it's basically THE ONLY movie they could make for cars at his point. I'm... actually kinda excited. For the first time ever, I -want- to see a Cars movie.

I like this new trailer, especially since it only has a little Jackson Storm, because I swear to god, every other word out of Li'l Z's mouth lately is "JACKSON STORM!!!". :facepalm: Can this movie be out already? Damn you Disney, and your months of hype.


Also, where is this kid's loyality to his god beloved Lightning McQueen? I'm raising a no-good band-wagon-jumper, I'll tell you what.

I've got friends with kids. They're in the preschool-early elementary school range. All the boys love Cars and there are Mater and Lightning matchbox cars scattered throughout their homes. Cars is always on a continuous loop on Amazon Prime. The kids are the target demographic and I get that.

But Cars is the only Pixar film I actually dislike. Whenever I watch it I feel like I'm suffering through a G-rated cartoon with a young cousin. It's why I haven't even tried watching Cars 2. I'm pretty sure Good Dinosaur would fall into that category too but I haven't seen it yet.

I haven't seen Cars 2 (same concerns as you) and I didn't like Cars. It basically boiled down to "WHINE! Small towns that ONLY existed because of crappy transporation (no cars, and then crappy highways) are dying! WHINE!!!" And some unlikable characters on top of that.

But The Good Dinosaur was fun. I felt like it was more of a tech demo for landscapes, but the story was fine. Not the same type of movie at all. Not the best Pixar's ever done by a long shot, but a good movie I don't regret seeing in the least.

Cars 2 is a straight up spy movie parody where Lightning learns the same damn lesson as before (You aren't too good for your friends) in a movie that wasn't about him in the slightest. It's not terrible, but it's not a classic ether.

I thought the books sucked. They were needlessly confusing and didn't tell a coherent story.

I liked The Gunslinger, and then each book slightly less from there. They devolve into King's unnecessary attempt at a shared universe, and I think that broke it.

And yeah, I hope the adaptation(s) avoids all of that.

The book was hard to read from the get go. I tried reading it to Pauline, but it just got too grim, dark, plodding through the grim dark grimdark while being dark and grim.

Might try watching the movie though, if the reviews say it doesn't suck.

Tried to start Gunslinger a number of times but always end up reading something else like 60-100 pages in.

YES!!! So, bad. I like King, but what the hell was the deal with that series. I confess that I didn't read past the second book. I just couldn't.

I adore King and the series didn't appeal. Made it through the first two books and the first 60 or so pages of the third. That drained as much give-a-shit as I could muster toward Roland and co. Doesn't help that even by the end of the fourth book, King admits he didn't know where he was going with this, snd that didn't change until post-accident, after which books 5, 6, and 7 came out in good succession.

Okay, watched the trailer.

You can't win me over with Morricone music, ya bastards, I already own that soundtrack!

Honestly, if I didn't know better, this would feel at home with The Last Witchhunter or whatever was that Vin Diesel movie from a year or so ago. Seems like they're taking it from a pretty different direction than the books, pulling parts of book 1 and book 2 together into something new.

I saw the Thor:Ragnarok trailer before Guardians 2...Thor fights the Hulk in a gladiator ring...FUCK YES! Also its a version of the Hulk who WASN'T killed by Hawkeye, because fuck the current Marvel comics run!

My two little girls love Cars too! They have inherited a bunch of Cars toys from their 12 yr old cousin who was a Cars-fiend. I've watched Cars almost as many times as I have seen A New Hope. I went from liking it, to despising it, then to respecting it. The second one is still shit though.

New "IT" trailer that is essentially a scene:



All right, I'm on board. That might seem weird from viewing the trailer, but one of the issues I have with the old IT movie--and a number of King adaptations--is that they feel like they're just rushing to include as much from the book as they can rather than take the time to use the material and make a movie out of it as something new. In this case, 1. that's not a scene in the book; 2. taking the time to build a scene this way shows a desire to be patient, which is essential for a horror movie to really work, and 3. this feels like kids rather than adults' views of kids, which is super-important for this story to work.

It feels like they want to do slower, creeping horror, which to me is perfect, but I doubt it'll win over many in the jump scare screamer crowd.

New Blade Runner looks pretty cool. Maybe I should give watching it another chance. Every time, I find I'm just bored and can't get into it. Plus, there are like fifty gajillion billion million different versions out there, so I don't even know which one to watch anymore. That number, by the way, is not an exaggeration. There are literally fifty gajillion billiion million versions of that movie swimming around.

Every copy of that movie is actually a one-off. There is a single dropped frame in every VHS, BetaMax, DVD, HD-DVD, Blu-ray, and LaserDisc of that movie that's ever been produced that's different in every copy that exists. Thus there is no actual "canonical" Blade Runner, just many many near-perfect (but not quite) copies with no "real" original, as they did this for every film version of it as well.


Oh, and there's a Laughing Man in it somewhere too.



:p

Oh come on! Does nobody else see the BIG TWIST? It's right there in the preview. Calling it now.

The director's cut is supposed to be the favored one, I think. It is slow-paced movie, in my view. But it has a lot going for it in terms of atmosphere, theme, and mystery. There are a lot of great things to look for in it, but you really have to be patient with the film to find them.

Not really feeling that Blade Runner trailer, although I think it was mostly the music. Harrison Ford being in it makes me a bit more optimistic. If the script was garbage I don't know that he'd bother.

Knew you'd like this. The banter between the kids is almost perfect. I was on board after the first trailer, which is why I started reading the book in the first place but this seals the deal for me.

I went back last week after finishing the book and while the mini-series is close for a lot of the book I agree that it feels like it's trying, for some parts to be too close to the book and others, that ultimately flop rather than this, wildly different. Also it's super 90's and kinda hard to get past.
