Beat Takeshi looks so good in this.

I can't remember the specifics from the original anime was she a person who thinks she's part human part robot, but actually 100% robot and artificial, or was it the other way around?

No. She had an existential crisis about the meaning of identity in a world where memories can be manipulated/invented and AIs develop sentience. But she was always consensually a human brain in a robot body (In fact she pursues taking a step further by the end...), and Hanka were never villains.

They're just adding a dash of robocop. A crisis of identity because you are a pawn of an evil corporation is easier to sell than a crisis of identity due to the philosophical implications of emerging technology.

I'm pretty excited for this based on imagery alone though. Even if the story doesn't have much to do with GitS, the visual design is so on point that I don't care.

That looks really good. Runaway is an amazing song to set a trailer to.

Granted I am a huge fan of Malick films, but I wasn't big on his last few autobiography films (excluding Tree of Life which is amazing), though I must admit each one demonstrated interesting concepts/editing and gorgeous cinematography. I really think we're witnessing someone in the act of reinventing his entire filmmaking process and it's kind of an incredible ride, one in which the success of the end product is as dependent on what the actors are willing to give as it is on the patience and focus required in editing...which runs contrary to his early films where he'd just successfully edit towards abstraction.

Voyage of Time has already had a very limited release. It hit PDX at one theater and one theater only, a single showtime per day for a week and was then gone. There are two versions with different narrators and the longer version may get another release in the future, but who knows.

FWIW this is also one of the autobiographical ToL appendices. They were a trilogy that was shot somewhat simultaneously, and this is the last to be released. There's a lot of shots and scenes in this that are inversions or twists of shots from TTW and KoC already. For instance, that's the same party at a mansion from KoC and the protagonist is doing the same wandering by the windows. But now the composition is inverted and instead of being lost and distanced while watching eroticised women in the distance, he's engaging happily and playfully with the girl on the other side.

There's a lot to dig into with this trilogy and I love them, but given their more formal poetic nature and lack of central narrative, I can understand most people not liking them. The good news for you is that this is the last and his upcoming projects sound like a return to the style he is more famous for.

Edit: For those curious, his next film is Radegund and is about a man who refuses to fight on behalf of the Nazis in WWII and is executed for it.

I found it interesting that To The Wonder was simultaneously his most experimental and derivative film. McAdams wandering through the buffalo was an absolutely intense scene tho.

Is derivative really the word you mean? I'm curious what makes you say that. If anything I'd say it was the most distilled.

I am a huge Malick fan who is also feeling a bit exhausted by the ToL appendices (that's a great term for it). Although I will be interested to see how this film comments on the other two. One of the things that I think is true of these movies is that Malick is basically casting people to be really fuckable actors. This can sometimes work brilliantly with his style (Cate Blanchett) and sometimes backfire if the person can't act in silence with enough presence (Affleck). I think Rooney Mara and Ryan Gosling will end up being great choices for this one, because they're each pretty well practiced at emoting with very little dialogue. I'd also be interested if Malick could try a movie without Lubezski now. It's starting to feel that his style is over-taking Malick's a bit in these films.

Also I am excited for Radegund.

I kind of feel like they both found the clearest version of their visual style working together (I partially think that because it's something Lubezki said). That said, whenever Lubezki works with a director who lets him cut loose, it ends up looking like a Malick film now. Even though Inarritu's camera movements and blocking are completely different, those lighting and lensing sensibilities are very pronounced.

I think the likelihood of Malick doing a film without Lubezki at this point is about on par with the odds of Spielberg doing a film without Kaminski. I'm curious to see if they maintain the ToL camera movement in Radegund, or if they settle back into the style of Malick's previous period pieces. I'd love a reprise of The New World's aesthetic.

I get the feeling that Malick knows he's coming to the end of his life so just wants to make as much as he can before he's gone. I do wish he was able to take a few years off, as he seems to put out better content when he has a break. His last two were duds.

Perhaps, though it does seem like ToL was a catharsis for him, something that opened the floodgates to a particular desire to explore artistic boundaries again. One thing that is very notable about his first 3 films though is how much risk was involved during their making, financial, legal, injury, etc.

There was a lot more freedom (or impetus perhaps) to take risks with resources and actors in the 70s, and there is a lot more regulation these days that tamps down unnecessary risk with regard to process, but also happens to dilute spontaneity (one of Malick's strong suits). I think as he's gotten older and more comfortable in his skin he's also had to reinvent much of his previous methodology. There are very few directors who could focus on so many projects at once, which makes the grand scheme of it all perhaps a bit more interesting than some of the individual films themselves.

Mel Gibson also funded all four of the post ToL films simultaneously as a single package, they were seen as a single project. There were also a couple years between Song to Song's completion of primary photography and the beginning of Radegund. So, while it looks like he's been working constantly since ToL, that's largely a product of the trilogy and documentary's release schedule. He hasn't actually been pulling a Ridley Scott and filming a feature per year.

I think it was privately? An undisclosed sum for a collection of low-budget films, no requirements made on content. It stuck in my memory because it was kind of a weird deal, not something that would normally happen through a studio or normal exec-prod position. I can't find any sources now, all searches just bring up Venice Film Fest articles.

Mel Gibson was originally going to produce and star in ToL. However, as the project progressed, production wound up being taken up by Brad Pitt with Heath Ledger in Mel's role (and then Pitt himself after Ledger's death). Mel Gibson discretely helped out financially with the smaller films afterward instead.

It came out. There are three versions - a 45-minute IMAX version with narration by Brad Pitt (which I think is mostly playing in museums), an "ultrawidescreen" IMAX version with no narration, and a feature-length version with Cate Blanchett narrating. I don't believe the longer version has been commercially released in the US yet.
