But when combined with other clips gives one an idea of what the movie will be like. Trailers are supposed to make you want to see the movie or has that changed?

A two minute clip is not a trailer. I can understand not liking that little short video (which wasn't directed by the same director), but I can take a two minute clip from just about any movie completely devoid of context and make it look bad.

Also that clip was good and I liked it. But yeah the Luke Scott promo was terrible. But so is everything else he's done. Just look at the quality of the terrific Happy Birthday David promo for Prometheus directed by some guy at an agency vs. the atrocious TED Talk that Luke Scott directed. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 15:48 on Sep 11, 2017 |

At this point I feel like trailers and one-off promo clips like these are going to tell us absolutely nothing. I hope this new Blade Runner will be good, it has the right people behind the project, but it's kind of a total fluke that a movie like the original Blade Runner ever got made in the first place, and subsequently became as popular as it did.

Dude says to gosling "bigger men than you tried to shut me down, and they were men" meaning Gosling is a replicant. Or at least that dude believes Gosling is a replicant. He didn't seem to know Gosling, so maybe all cops are believed to be replicants? IDK, but does seem like a somewhat big deal.

Heh, I interpreted it as questioning/mocking Gosling's masculinity. Guess my brain still has his characters from Refn's films associated with him.

It looks like 2049 is going to be more about social commentary on climate change, poverty, etc. than the themes and agency of artificial intelligence of the original. It definitely looks more action oriented, too.

RedSpider posted:The Weyland TED talk was by far the most intriguing viral clip for Prometheus, actually. Hey, to each their own. I think that there's a wealth of fantastic character moments in the David 8 promo which give the most succinct, concentrated look into who David is and how he thinks - like the delicate, humbled reverence with which he says he thinks about "angels", sandwiched between the sins of man. I think the video is doubly important in the wake of his character revelations in Covenant. And I found the TED Talk to be over the top, poorly written, and poorly directed. I guess that it showed some insight into Weyland, but I find him a thoroughly uninteresting character who exists as an intentional cardboard cutout to contrast David.

It very well could be much more action-oriented to fit modern audience's tastes, but that idea goes against much of what Villeneuve has said in interviews. As an exercise a few years ago I tried to make my own deceptively edited trailer for the original Blade Runner just to see how it could be mismarketed in today's atmosphere. I don't think that it's far off the amount and type of action we see in the 2049 trailer.

I thought the clip greatly enhanced the prologue in Covenant. Also, the original cut of the Weyland TED talk was much longer than what was released. I watched the full version of it on some Alien fansite awhile back. Weyland starts railing against bureaucracy and the government for prohibiting the development of AI for awhile in addition to all the philosophical stuff. I'm glad it was cut. feedmyleg posted:I wonder.

I hope 2049 is more like the original and Alien Covenant on the sentient replicant/android stuff than a generic action film.

Is Final Cut a good version of Blade Runner to watch? Kind of a 'beggars can't be choosers' situation here since the best option for watching it without buying it is streaming from the Playstation store and that's the only version they have.

Nice. I'll be watching it this weekend, then. Thanks for all the input. I really miss my local video store. So many older movies I'd love to watch but (Canadian) Netflix is woefully limited in that regard. I did try watching it years ago in school but I was so exhausted that night I ended up falling asleep.

I love the fan project Blade Runner: The Version You've Never Seen Before (not  )quote:What it is is not a special cut to make the film better, not simply an extended version that incorperates deleted scenes, but the most thoroughly different version of the film possible that makes use of all the diferent versions and unseen footage to create a cut of the film as drastically different as can be had. It's just a neat concept, and it's pretty cool to watch. It's like seeing a copy of Blade Runner that fell through a wormhole from another dimension.

Speaking of which, if you have access to the Final Cut's special features, it has all of the deleted scenes in chronological order so you can see this very bizarre 45 minute alpha version of Blade Runner. After seeing that I totally get the appeal of someone taking all the footage and trying to put together a cut that's just different.

well gently caress this man. Johann Johannson is no longer doing the score for 2049. They brought in Hans Zimmer and Benjamin Wallfisch to do the music but Johannsson's score for Arrival was really great and I was looking forward to hearing what he could do with the original score as an influence. I'd never heard of Wallfisch before but apparently he did IT and Annabelle: Creation and The Cure for Wellness, all of which were fairly high quality horror movies from this year. Anyone in here think the score was anything particularly special? Zimmer is a known quality obviously.

IT's soundtrack is REALLY good, but drat isn't the movie out in a few weeks? Hopefully it's not badly edited rushed poo poo like when they brought on James Horner last second for Troy. Also awesome because now the new Blade Runner isn't even out yet and we already have potential multiple cuts once whatever work he had completed leaks/he puts it on his site.

And it's not just Zimmer/Wallfisch finishing what Johannsson started, it says none of his work is gonna be in the movie. I'm thinking he was a bit behind, they brought ZimmFisch in to help him out, they tried to push him in a different direction and he told them to gently caress off and do it themselves.

Because it wouldn't be a Warner Bros. genre production without an anime tie-in, Shinichiro Watanabe of Cowboy Bebop fame is making a Blade Runner anime short. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wsxBzfmwVY

One of the trailers made it look like he might die and if he does I'll be heartbroken. I already empathized with him a ton from the trailer and this short just enhances that.

I've been worried that Harrison Ford wouldn't be passionate enough about the character to play Deckard again, and would instead just be playing himself ala the recent Star Wars. If it's true then it means Ford is passionate about the character and Ridley is trying to meddle I guess I trust Villenue to pull it off
