Kind of a shame that Charlize Theron turns in an iconic performance in Fury Road, and then immediately gets replaced by a younger model. Oh, but it’s gotta be a prequel - everyone loves prequels, they’re famously good and necessary. ATJ is great too though to be fair, and I hope this film lives up to the last one. Fingers crossed!

I am absolutely furious that they recast Ian Holm with Martin Freeman. Ludicrous they they didn't just throw a brown wig on an 81 year old man, he gave such an iconic performance.

I think there is a difference between a studio making GBS threads out a prequel for money, and the writer director of the first movie deciding he wants to tell another part of the story. But no that couldnt be it its literally just because Charlize Theron is old??

checkplease posted:Cool comparison, didn’t realize how it changed That's also a comic con fist look. Not an official trailer. This thread loves to claim trailers are just showing temp CG but that's absolutely the exception and not the rule. When it comes to trailer production they will pick shots to be in the trailer and then send those through priority VFX and then that's often the final shot seen in the film. *Sometimes* they will have time to go through and fix the rush job but that's not very often (at least in my experience).

Hey on twitter Hideo Kojima said he watched the trailer 10 times, so that’s good enough endorsement for me.

Also listening to the latest episode of What Went Wrong Miller and (someone else unfortunately I can't remember) wrote this entire prequel Bible to Fury Road before even starting production on Fury Road. So it def doesn't feel like a cash grab

Fair enough. I don’t wanna push the point too hard anyway, cos like I say, I think ATJ is great. And if he’s got a story, he’s got a story. But I do think it’s a shame, since, regardless of motivation, I think theron is maybe more vulnerable to replacement than someone like, say, Keanu Reeves.

I agree. Because she also apparently really wanted to be in Fury Road. When it looked like the movie may have happened in the late 90s she apparently was considered but the offer didn't get past her agent and she was pretty pissed (this is Hollywood tales so always take with a grain of salt... They're decades long versions of the telephone game). Then the offer came back around and she was like "gently caress yes I want to do that." So she was all in.

Finally had a chance to watch the trailer on my home monitor, and folks I'm just not seeing the bad CGI. The only somewhat unfinished looking shot I noticed is the wide establishing shot of gas town at night. Other than that everything looks fine - what shots are you all talking about?

I think anyone expecting this to be in the same ballpark (or league, or sport) as Fury Road is going to be disappointed. FR famously gestated for decades, with Miller storyboarding every second of it in his head over and over before production even began (and stopped, and began again, and stopped, and...) Then when it did got going all that pent-up energy got unleashed with everyone involved going hell-for-leather to make it as great as it was. I just don't see them capturing that same energy again, but honestly I'd be perfectly happy with a relatively minor (but really fun-looking) addition to the franchise

I mean Fury Road is almost ten years old now. That’s plenty of time for some new ideas to gestate. And for all we know he had loads of good ideas that couldn’t fit into FR.

3000 years of longing was good stuff. Giant Idris Elbis. Everyone wins. That movie did have lots of good looking cg too. BonoMan posted:That's also a comic con fist look. Not an official trailer. That makes sense, rushing the vfx for a trailer scene, but do they not do the same to for a major publicity event like comic con?

No not necessarily. Comic Con has always been a place for "closed doors" very early looks at things. It's part of the appeal. And generally things released there are not released to the wider public which is why "comic con leaks" used to be a big thing. I like to go back and watch the bootleg Tron 2 comic con teaser from time to time! The audience reaction is great.

I think the main thing I'm disappointed with is even though its a prequel supposedly also including the origin of Immortal Joe and etc, they are in the film fully realized - like, Immortan is already in his breathing apparatus thing, and the War Boys look exactly the same as they would in 20 years, etc. What was most fun about Fury Road were all the little world building elements that hinted at a whole universe that we only got a glimpse of. I was hoping for a different world, one that may have contained the elements that would evolve into what we see in Fury Road - but it looks....exactly like the Fury Road universe.

I’ll still see it opening day though.

It wasn’t a “this trailer leaked and we have to show it now” deal. Like suicide squad. Unless someone can correct me. And the Tron trailer was a proof of concept they made and also shared. Trailers are show with unfinished vfx all the time. The studios gotta get that marketing train going, movie be damned. There’s vfx artists posting here. Hopefully someone can come in and discuss it
