That does not sound good…

So the new Superman David Corenswet appears to be a massive Bond fan. I’ve watched Casino Royale about 50 times and I could not describe it to the detail he’s done.

Can’t describe how much I love this. Game respects game.

I would not mind him being Superman and Bond, too. He is that good.

That is outstanding! I saw Superman Monday night and I genuinely loved it. It’s not perfect, but dang, it comes pretty close. And Corenswet is the real deal. Clearly a genuine and detail-oriented Bond fan. Is he hiding somewhere on our boards under an assumed name? Hmmm…

I think I saw almost the whole movie…and why Mark Hamill? Couldn´t find a good actor?
C‘mon. He is great.
And if you know the novel you know that trailer is barely showing the premise.

Global has rescued this film, I am astonished to say.

I know the novel, it´s my favorite Bachman…if the movie premise has something in common with the novel, you´re right, but I doubt it…

Good for us film buffs, maybe we get another risky film in the next 5 years thats not a recognisable IP

Thing is, while F1 is not established IP it’s a more or less generic racing movie remake of the classics of that genre: LE MANS, GRAND PRIX, DAYS OF THUNDER so on. There’s no originality involved at all - and its USP, the genuine footage from race days, is what most classics did before.
It’s nice to see this film having legs though, something that doesn’t happen very often any more (was THE GREATEST SHOWMAN the last film to pull its weight out of a surprise extended theatrical run?). Maybe that’s a niche streamers could develop for their own prestige productions in the future? Giving them an extra few weeks to hold on to the big screens, creating their own events around whatever they deem worthy of the effort.
About 40 years since I read The Long Walk, quite the gripping - short - novel; read it in a day or two. But from what I remember this looks more or less faithful so far. Fingers crossed.

So i guess we skipped the “boring” stuff with the humans entirely?
The first one looks a lot more shakespearian now…
What does he mean “take the franchise to animated territory?” That’s like saying “This time Kirk and Spock go to space.” This franchise is animation by definition.
Maybe I’m just an old dude in “stay off my lawn” mode, but I didn’t see anything interesting in the trailer, which is all special effects, a few weird grunts and about 12 spoken words. The message seems to be “look how impressive the CG is” which is pointless since we knew it’d be a movie about special effects before we saw a single frame…and like all other films, in ten years it’ll just turn into “wow, can you remember when we were impressed by that primitive stuff”?
Bored as I was with “Titanic” I almost wish he’d float the ship back up and sink again every few years rather than keep trotting out these oversexed Smurfs.
