That trailer was ok, given I've got pretty low expectations. The way Jared Leto plays enigmatic/emotionless is hammy as hell though, and that whole character type is kinda cliched. Hopefully its not too distracting mixed with everything else.

I've maintained since they announced the screenplay that they picked the wrong screenwriter to return. David Webb Peoples is so much more celebrated (Unforgiven, anyone?) and many of the small details that made Blade Runner are owed to him (like the term "replicant" and Roy and Tyrell's dialogue came from a conversation with Peoples' daughter, a UCLA biochemistry grad)

That's a shame. Incendies, Enemy and Sicario are all-timers, Prisoners and Arrival are great as well.

I've heard got things about Polytechnique as well but I haven't been able to bring myself to watch it.

I wasn't amazed by the writing in Sicario but the direction was great. I think that and Arrival are the only films of his I've seen, but that's enough for me to look forward to this movie.

For some reason I couldn't quite get into Enemy. Like in retrospect I can see what it was going for, but at the time of watching it just didn't quite click for me. Sicario owned, though.

I'll go out on a limb and say of all the hundreds of times two movies with extremely similar premises have been released at the same time, no other pair is as good as Enemy/The Double

I'm sure I'm forgetting some pair of classics but they're both very good

I've never seen a film that captured quite so accurately why offices are horrifying to me as a working environment.. The Double is absolutely fantastic.

I couldn't believe that that happened. It was like hitting a jackpot, two movies with the same theme, completely different execution, excellent for totally different reasons.

Hype levels at maximum.


I hope this isn't like Covenant (which I liked a lot actually) though where there's a few short promotional things like this, some of which were good enough or added enough character that they would and should have just been in the final movie. Seems like kind of a waste.

The vibe I'm getting from Leto there is Tom Noonan in RoboCop 2, which is all flavors of awesome.

Judging by this short the plot seems fairly cliche and obvious. Unfortunate.

This is apparently the first of three viral clips.

And I don't see this film getting much traction at all. It's apparently three hours long, too. :lol:

E; I think IT and The Snowman are going to be the popular R rated flicks in the next few months instead.

You make a $200 million sequel to a film that almost no one saw when it was in theaters, and on top of that you have it run for almost three hours? What in the blue hell.
