I'm not completely sold on DiCaprio as Gatsby, but Carey Mulligan as Daisy is excellent, and I'm particularly digging Tobey Maguire as Nick. He's got that perfect oblivious, chummy look.

kaujot posted:Agreed. Maguire and Mulligan look like they were born to be cast in this. DiCaprio looks like he doesn't quite fit in, especially as Gatsby. At first I thought he looked a little too gruff for the socialite setting, I can just hear him growling "OLD SPORT" at a terrified Nick. I think I'm just having trouble divorcing it from some of his other recent roles, and he's definitely growing on me. A couple of the shots in the trailer where he's all collected and stylish are definitely all Gatsby, but the ones where he's growling or shouting aren't selling it for me. Gatsby always seemed more subdued than that to me.

The whole fluid/swarming zombie thing looks amazing, a completely original take on this tired-rear end cliché. Someone in another thread, I think, posted that this seems more like a disaster movie with zombies as the disaster than a zombie movie. I'm pretty okay with that. Plus, from the descriptions people give of the book it sounds like a straight adaptation would have been some kind of terrible tongue-in-cheek exploitation flick, and I think the market's kind of saturated for those.

Regarding WWZ, I just like how the wave o' zombies is a great visual shorthand for how the situation is kind of literally snowballing. This big ol wave rolling over people like a necrotic katamari, picking up momentum like crazy. But then they also have those "red dots gettin bigger" graphics on their magic hollywood computer display showing exactly how many billions of people are getting zombified, so I guess subtlety is out the window after all. That might just be for the trailer, though.

GonSmithe posted:Them on the workout machines absolutely killed me. The falling robot shot at the end is brilliant too. I thought "well there's no way they're going to be able to replicate a slow motion shot of a giant robot flying through the air and a bunch of cars" but there it is.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:I do like a lot of the anthill/human tide imagery. The more I see of this, the more I love it. It's such a fresh take on the zombie concept. They've kind of re-mystified the zombie. These things are so aggressive and concerted in their efforts that you absolutely cannot imagine them in any of the standard zombie scenarios. I mean what do they even do when there are no people to assimilate? You're never going to be able to interact with these things in the typical ironic "boom headshot" way, and for that alone this looks like a good zombie movie.

Jewmanji posted:The premise is really interesting- how does it stand up as a film, divorced from its context? Is this one of those films where the real story is how it was made, or does it work on its own merits? Looks amazing. The video was taken down. What was it?

davidspackage posted:Yeah, but to call something within the movie 'animated' doesn't make much sense. Even if you're making 4th wall breaking jokes, "don't make it CG" would seem more sensical. I'm feeling like a dick typing this. They were probably worried "CG" wouldn't parse with most people. "See gee?" Rather than leaving the joke out entirely, they arrived at the sad compromise of "animated".

Glazier posted:Actually Lost was exactly what thinking about so that gives me confidence! I probably should have used more precise wording, what I hate is the building up of mystery in a seeming coherent way only for it to be "explained" by events or agents who were obviously inserted in the narrative when the authors released the story got out of control. Like don't introduce a central character and then 10 chapters later go, "Oh they didn't really matter here's a new guy and he'll explain everything and forget about the other guy." If anything, it's the opposite of that. Everything circles back to the beginning so hard you get whiplash. I'm frankly amazed they're doing this. I couldn't even really imagine filming the first book, but it looks like they've cranked up the visual effects on it. One of the frustrating things about the series is that there's very little visually spectacular going on, except for the crawler which is so visually spectacular that's literally unfilmable. Everything else is just animals, plants and landscapes with all these weirdly articulated feelings of something terrible inside of you or in the landscape or the light, the goddamn "terroir". It's amazing how well they've managed to translate that into images, judging by the trailer at least. The oil film sheen on the barrier is a great touch, for instance.

Seems like they've beefed it up a bit with more??? monsters, although that may just be trailer editing. I'm still so in for this.

BonoMan posted:Dude it took me like 6 months to get through the second one. 80% of it is so loving unnecessary. You get to the last chapter and it's like "goddamn FINALLY things are moving." Third book is fun so far. I'd push through or read a cliff's notes if you can. Second book is kind of a slog for sure, but yeah it's all worth it for the scene of terroir guy chilling in his crawlspace hideout.
