Well, I take back everything I said earlier then. This sounds like it's going to be one hell of a movie when it comes out.

The poster for Chen Kaige's new movie.



It's a bit boring (the poster, can't comment on the film).



And a character poster for Lego Batman for the upcoming Lego Movie.




I'm glad that Will Arnett is getting work, and it's a fairly inspired casting choice.

The below spoiler is only a spoiler if you believe spoiling the plot of multiple thousand year old religious texts qualifies as a spoiler.

The Grigori aka the Watchers are referenced in the promo material and they're critically important to the Noah story's action-filled expansion pack The Book of Enoch and are creators of the Nephilim the 50 meter tall fire-vomiting cannibal giants which God must drown the world to purge.

If Kevin Conroy stops doing Batman voice work, Will Arnett would be the guy I would hire as a replacement. His work as Gob Bluth showed he's actually got the perfect vocal range.

Yeah thanks bra I didn't know about giants from the bible or anything I was just pulling that question about the movie out of my rear end. I want to know what these giants will be up too, because the authors of the old testament sure as poo poo weren't talking about global warming they as much as they were talking about angels loving hot as ladies and making monsters.

Wow, Bob, wow. Fire walk with me.
Sam Smith has another poster he created for his monthly column on The Dissolve. It's for the Scarlett Johansson as an alien movie Under The Skin. He goes through his thought process in creating the poster, and what decisions he had to specifically make. I love these articles even if I don't always love his finished products, though I think they're pretty cool.

That part I don't know. What I do know is that the Book of Enoch deserves to be made into a Game of Death Kung-Fu action film where Enoch must kill the Grigori one by one to earn the title of Metatron with each of the Grigori using the forbidden knowledge* they gave to man to fight him.

*One of these is literally make-up amongst other gifts.

Actually, Book of Enoch was made into a game.

As an aside about it, the game is actually insanely dedicated to following the scant text within the Book of Enoch, Chapters 1-13 that it is almost astounding. I love that a random dream Enoch has way later in the "historical" portion of the book about his ancestors is the basis for the mini-bosses.

Its also why an action film about this would work. Who doesn't want to see Enoch climb mount Adar to challenge Semyaza, leader of the Grigori and First of the Fallen? Hell you've even got a sequel hook when you learn that one of the Nephilim is birthed from the fonts of the deep and does not spew fire like the others that god had to kill.

I... don't know how I feel about that trailer. I guess I'm mixed.

You forgot to add that they're human-angel hybrids that possibly resulted from Lucifer's angels getting busy with humans

Reading this Christian movie guy's blog- http://godawa.com/movieblog/darren-aronofskys-noah-environmentalist-wacko/ And now I must see this movie.

quote:

His ethical reasoning? The same as all environmentalist activists: The ends justify the means. “We must weigh those [human] lives against all creation.” Shades of Malthus and Al Gore.

He seems to have confused Al Gore with the bad guys from Rainbow Six.

Am I really spoiling more of the Bible? They're not Lucifer's angels at all. The Head of the Grigori is Semyaza who convinces his host of 199 to commit the deed knowing full well they'll all be punished. Azazel is the truly evil one and is the Grigori who gives men the knowledge of how to craft weapons and armor for war.

Yeah, I dunno about that trailer. It still might end up being a really fun movie. I can't ever see myself saying it's amazing, but it could be fun. The tone I'm getting from the trailer is "dark and serious" and I feel like that would just drag the movie down.

Parts in Genesis; Noah, the Nephilim, the flood.
Parts in Enoch; The Grigori (and names), what the Nephilim do, Noah's mythic descendants, why it had to be a flood
Parts in Jubilees; The Void of Punishment, the ultimate fate of the Nephilim, why evil exists in the world

The Void of Punishment sounds so :black101:.

As for Noah, the trailer looks kinda dull. But everything else I've been hearing about the movie makes it sound like the craziest thing ever.
