The Need for Speed movie was already made a long time ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMIMkoB7Wyo If there's no Razor Callahan/Jeese hybrid screaming "Five grand me, bitch!" then this film's already a fluke.

Plus IMDB says Michael Keaton is in this. The fact that it's directed by a former stunt man means the action should be pretty solid.

It reminds me of the Fast And The Furious movies as well as Faster, that movie with The Rock, and probably some others that I can't think of at the moment, too. It doesn't really look like the in game cutscenes at all. I don't know why this movie even has that title or is related to the game in the first place. It's not like the plots of any of those games matter.

I'm sorry but that trailer looks great. It looks like a serious car movie instead of Fast and the Furious. I guess that's why people aren't liking it?

No, its that the serious-ness is laughable. I actually think a dark gritty 70s style car-chase movie would be a refreshing way to go and would seperate Need For Speed from the Fast & Furious movies, it just looks like what a 13 year old thinks is dark and gritty. Aaron Paul can't make that voice-over work, sorry.

Yoshifan823 posted:My guess is that what we're getting isn't another Fast/Furious-esque movie I strongly suspect that it's a script that was floating around, got greenlit to cash in on Fast and Furious, and got retitled to connect with an established brand. The thing that stands out to me in that trailer is that I could see all the stunt rigging and safety modifications on the flipping cars. So at least they're using real cars and stunts instead of CGI. muscles like this? posted:People might not be giving it as much poo poo if it wasn't a videogame movie based on a series that isn't really known for its story. The video games have stories? I haven't played all the entries but I don't think I've ever encountered a Need for Speed game that had a story to it.

In the last Need for Speed game I played, you literally just play as a selection of cars with no identified drivers. For all intents and purposes, this is just an original story with a name attached and not an adaptation whatsoever.

Now that I think about it this may be an adaption of Need for Speed: The Run, a truly terrible game with 2 hours of actual racing and a bunch of quick time events. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEwUtcDkOgs

Aaron Paul can't make that voice-over work, sorry. I have to disagree. Aaron Paul does make that voice-over work, and I thought the trailer was quite beautiful. I clicked 'play' expecting something much worse, but the trailer surprised me, and the movie certainly has my attention now. Plus, it's great to see Aaron getting a lead role in a big-budget movie. He is stellar in Breaking Bad and deserves new opportunities.

Need for Speed looks WAY better than most video game movies. The driving scenes are shot with mounted cameras driven by stunt drivers crashing cars for real, and the leads are played by excellent actors. The actual plot may be pedestrian, but great action and good acting is all that's needed to elevate an action movie into something special.

They seem to have gone even more overboard with the CGI cameratricks, everything looked so goddamn lifeless and videogamey. And that trailer was really weirdly paced too, it felt like you watched the same shots over and over again. Benedict Smaug was nice at least.

I can imagine that would be even more disorienting than seeing the first one in HFR was (I saw it in HFR. It wasn't good. Felt like I was watching something on a TV with TrueMotion on but in a theater.).Benedict Smaug did give me the chills a little bit, though, so I'll probably still go see it just for that, but in regular 24FPS.

Strange Matter posted:Good grief Benedict Cumberbatch is in everything. Did his wife die too or something? Dude has a HUGE (internet) following due to the BBC Sherlock series. I mean, you can't swing a stick on Tumblr or Twitter or Facebook without running into it, and lots of movies are taking advantage of it right now to leverage some extra asses in seats. I don't find it to be too egregious (although his casting as Khan in Star Trek was obviously fan service and a terrible choice to boot), but it is getting to the point of incredulity with how much stuff he's in.

Say what you want, but there was a lot of kickass fantasy landscape porn in that trailer and I love me some good landscape porn. It doesn't look any different from the first one, so it'll probably be more of the same, which is fine by me. I liked The Hobbit a lot. That one shot of the guy diving out of the way of an explosion looked awful though, haha

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:No, New Zealand (and parts of Alaska, I couldn't believe it) actually look like that.  I knew most of the LotR trilogy and the first Hobbit used a lot of on location shots in New Zealand, but in this trailer, a lot of the locations looked like they were done with CG, whether they were entirely composed in CG or a mixture of CG and real world locations. Is that not the case?

The Hobbit films were mostly shot at the same time as each other (like with LOTR) and so the techniques used will be the same as the previous film. LOTR had a ton of CGI enviroments too. In those films they were augmented with real locations and polystyrene miniatures. The miniatures were unfilmable for the 3D and Frame Rate Jackson wanted for the Hobbit films so they went all Digital for anything that need to be enviroments, but these films had an entire unit devoted to going out and filming New Zealand countrysides. There is a high gloss to the footage because of their post production, but there is a lot of New Zealand happening in all three of The Hobbit films.

There is definitely location shooting in there. Its just that everything is under a super-heavy layer of colour grading. As much as I'd like to believe that it is a creative choice to highten the fantasy, I also remember reading that 48fps causes everything to look washed out, and so requires garish contrast and colour grading to look respectable.
