I think that actually coulda happened if he let his brother's ending be the finish. That's interesting coz it doesn't seem to tally at all with the reported original ending we saw in the script Spielberg was working from, which was just as complex, just more logical and less 'love transcends time and space'. 7 hours ago, DMC said: I used the 2001 comparison because Interstellar was plainly Nolan's attempt to honor and update it. Oh, for sure. I'm always of the opinion that the 'modern 2001' won't be a film that tries to be 2001 so attempts to do that are, well, not pointless coz we still get good films, but doomed to fail in that particular respect. Nolan is hardly the only one, but that is one of the places I thought the film went a bit kablooey- he did change the ending to be more like 2001 in that he changed the wormhole sequence to be more mindbusting like 'it's full of stars' than the more grounded initial attempts and it didn't quite sit with the structures and themes the film already had. Don't get me wrong though I still like Interstellar and it gave us No Time for Caution so bonus points for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorral Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 We were supposed to get this, this summer, but postponed, of course. The Green Knight looks intriguing; the trailer at least allows one to feel we are entering the Arthurian world of legend, as opposed to the historical - political era.

Darth Richard II Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I like it. Also cue long arguments on the internet as to whether Bill and Ted are stoners(they're not according to the writer of all 3 films) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying not to be mean, it really sucked what happened with that movie. Didn't it put Ben Affleck in rehab or something? Not necessarily my thing, but I'm glad they're getting the version they wanted finished. I will admit Gal Gadot looking at that image of Darkseid is kinda cool...

Seems like she has a very different beginning than written about, but probably will evolve into role of mayor of Terminus, using Foundation tech to defeat neighbor planets seeking to conquer the Foundation.

Heartofice Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I’ll admit to having never read Asimov, but this looks great. The scale is beautiful. I do worry that it doesn’t look like something that will have mass market appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I notice that they're filming in 8K with the 6:5 ratio, per the Red camera monitor at the 18 second mark. I don't think GoT ever got over 4K, Altered Carbon shot at 6.5k, Mandalorian is at 4.5k. Wonder if they're rendering the effects at 8K as well,.... Wait. At 1:40, is that the thing we're seeing a miniature of at 0:27? They're actually using miniature shots for some of the visual effects? Costuming is terrific, by the looks of it, as well. Finally, for those who remember the series better than I (probably been nigh 30 years since I read the books): Spoiler I'm guessing the alien monster attacking her is actually a telepathic projection to try and scare her away, but I can't recall what the situation would be in the early part of the novels that would make this a thing. Are they bringing the telepathy/Second Foundation into it very early? Probably... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 That's looking pretty epic in scope. Although, I never liked the Foundation books; reading them felt so... claustrophobic to me. It's kind of hard to describe, and its not a feeling I've gotten from other books. But the focus on predestination, and maybe something about the writing style, made me feel really uncomfortable when I read them. When it comes to older sci fi, I had a much better time with Jack Vance. I'm hoping that the TV show doesn't give me that same cramped feeling; 'cause those production values are looking great. Although if it's only available through Apple TV I might never see it anyway, making the point moot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
