Ad Astra

[Persona]

that definitely does not sound like a movie that is coming out in May.

oh well, I appreciate that they are trying to get the FX right.

 

[DarkKnight88]

I’d rather they move the release now than try to make Cannes or that May release by rushing.

James Gray and Brad Pitt’s ‘Ad Astra’ Not Opening May 24 — Now Eyes Fall Festival Debut

Uh huh.

[terry78]

Well that's something.

So what does this tells us about it's oscar chances?
September feels a bit like a grey area.

This release date for Ad Astra practically confirms that Ford v Ferrari is Disney's #1 bet for Academy Awards.

 

[harlequinade]

September is where Oscar buzz movies go to die

 

[Blitzkrieg]

It'll still get some tech noms (if it's good) but Ford v Ferrari & The Woman In The Window will be Disney's above the line contenders.

 

[HammerDown]

I'm not an expert on this kind of stuff but i guessed September wouldn't be a great sign.

 

[Kane52630]

Well never say never... A couple years ago it would be impossible to have something nominated if a movie was released back in February, but then Get Out happened.

 

[terry78]

There really are no more dead zones as far as film season. Every damn month has at least one major release.

 

[:eek:]

September is where Oscar buzz movies go to die

Might not happen often, but September-releases can succeed:

"Some September movies have triumphed critically and commercially. In 1987, Fatal Attraction, which opened in wide release on September 18[e] not only succeeded at the box office, staying in theaters through June of the next year[52] and garnering six Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture.[53] Twelve years later, in 1999, the similarly successful American Beauty, which had been in limited release through September before going wide in October,[54] won that award and four others.[55]"

Come on Ad Astra, beat that 20 year curse.

BBFC has rated a trailer for Ad Astra. Likely to be attached with Dark Phoneix.

 

[HammerDown]

Curious to see what kind of movie we're getting.

 

[psylockolussus]

I hope its something like the Martian and not Solaris.

 

[Persona]

From what I've heard it sounds a bit like Heart of Darkness (which Gray also kind of did with Lost City of Z) meets Interstellar.

 

[Persona]

Anyways, I'm just excited that we are FINALLY getting a trailer for this thing.

 

[Persona]

I hope its something like the Martian and not Solaris.

Solyaris is one of my all-time favorite movies (I can say the same for all Tarkovsky films, though) but, yeah, Solaris not so much.

[:eek:]

Looks interesting. Wonder if it will be a contender for visual effects-Oscar, considering how often sci-fi/space movies won in recent years.

 

[HammerDown]

Decent trailer. Looks alright.
I like space movies and this could be interesting.

 

[Marvolo]

Other than the cast I didnt see anything particularly interesting in that trailer.
