Really great. I'd say if you can increase the size of the logos at the beginning it would look a little more legit, they're too small. This plays like a teaser but the length is 2:23. Usually teasers are on and a half to two minutes. With a trailer you usually have a button after title or sometimes before so if this was real we'd trim to two minutes. The cue and sound in general is pretty fantastic. Did you do your own VO?

:kimchi: Thanks for the feedback! The studio logos came out smaller than I wanted them to, but out of necessity. Reason being is the Dune Entertainment logo I had to photoshop was a lot lower resolution than the WB and DC logos; if I sized it up to match, it'd come out blurry/pixelated in comparison to the others when played in full screen. I probably could have found a better version if I looked, but I was eager to put this thing together at quickly as possible, heh. I wanted to make sure everything was, at the very least, as consistent in quality as possible. As for the voice over (I'm assuming that's what VO means :shobon:), that's actually Ben Affleck dialogue I pulled from Daredevil.

Legendary isn't even producing the movie, and that Batsuit looks nothing like the Affleck Batsuit.

Ugh, Sex Tape must be like, revolutionary terrible considering the TV spots. Not even Friedberg and Seltzer advertised like this. It's bad enough when a movie commercial isn't actually a short trailer, those "authentic audience leaving the movie" bits were always super lame to me but this is another level. Making some like, corny cheap office skit advertising the movie, it feels like a random energy drink commercial or something.

"The Imitation Game"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fg85ggZSHMw

"The Imitation Game is a nail-biting race against time following Alan Turing (pioneer of modern-day computing and credited with cracking the German Enigma code) and his brilliant team at Britain's top-secret code-breaking centre, Bletchley Park, during the darkest days of World War II. Turing, whose contributions and genius significantly shortened the war, saving thousands of lives, was the eventual victim of an unenlightened British establishment, but his work and legacy live on."

-- As someone who admired the work Alan Turing did and the importance of his machines, and the indigity he suffered after the war, I'm so glad this is being made. The script has been around for awhile and finally got picked up. Looks fantastic.

For the longest time, I couldn't tell whether that was Ethan Hawke or Josh Brolin. I'm not sure how I feel about them turning a weird short story into what seems like Looper. Or really, any other plot of changing the present/future by changing the past.

Edit: Here is the story.

For those who haven't read the short story, it is really bizarre and I'm actually surprised they seem to be keeping the main element from it.


Namely that multiple characters in that trailer are the same person.

Probably not the only one, but this is actually how I first heard about Turing. I was obsessed with code-breaking in middle school and Cryptonomicon almost taught me more about that time than other sources.

Probably as close as we would get to a Neal Stephenson book being turned into a movie, although I feel like Snow Crash might be doable and marketable. Or the trilogy as a series.

I know Snow Crash has been kicked around for a while. I think at the moment it's in development, but it could have slid back into hell just as easily. Diamond Age was in development as a SciFiSyFy series but I haven't heard anything about that in a while so I assume that died as well.

I'm also curious what personal opinions led to the Cumberbatch hate. I mean, the Khan thing is cringe-worthy but most of what I've found from a quick google search doesn't seem to point to anything particularly egregious.

It would have to be a TV series on Syfy with "Numb3rs" diagrams for all of the little digressions that Stephenson loves so much. Turning 900 pages into a movie? No, never. Also, get rid of the sex scenes and gratuitous stuff.

From what I vaguely remember hearing, he has upper class British opinions on stuff like class status and wealth.

Cumberbatch's parents wanted him to change his name when he went into acting. Not because it was silly, but because the Cumberbatch family were major slave traders 200 years ago and they were worried someone would sue for damages.

The most egregious thing I'm aware of is his complaint that British people weren't deferential enough to him and had made fun of him for being posh. He stated he was moving to America because Americans [apparently] know how to treat their betters.

Which, while not nearly as bad as what other actors have said and done, does make it quite hard to like him.

Did you seriously think an arthouse movie centered around "gently caress whitey" would get funding and distribution and an audience if it didn't have at least some balance? I mean the arthouse crowd is nominally progressive but come the gently caress on.

The best unspoken issue in the trailer--hopefully it will be addressed in the movie--is the issue of class and race. All the cast in the trailer, regardless of race, are firmly in the middle-to-upper class per the university setting and facing issues of race that seem to exclusively favor the middle and upper classes.
