Right, TDK.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I consider contributing to the box office earnings for this movie instead of waiting for the home media release.

Classy move.

Classy move.

Yes it was, but I am so tired of what this world is becoming. You can't even turn on the damn TV anymore without some mass murder or some ******* driving full speed through a crowd. Seriously man...over 50 dead and 400 wounded. Sigh...my bad guys...end rant...

From the final trailer:

Spoiler

I really hope it stays in cinemas for a while. I may have to wait several weeks to see it and I really don't want to miss it on the biggest screen

 

[Marvolo]

My 15 screen cinema only has 4 showings a day for this. About what I expected, but it's disappointing.

Blame the runtime for that.

I think BR2049 comes out in Nov. 10 in China.

It’s no spoiler to reveal that “Blade Runner 2049” is a sequel to Ridley Scott’s 1982 dystopian neo-noir, or that it stars Ryan Gosling as an assassin tasked with killing rogue humanoid robots. It’s also fair to say that it’s a very good movie, and one you should see in the theater. Beyond that, however, Warner Bros. marketing would like everyone to keep their impressions to themselves.

“It was our view, and the filmmaker’s view, that literally, the plot of the movie is a spoiler,” said Dennis Higgins, Warners senior VP publicity. “It was important to Denis and all the filmmaking team that we attempt to allow the audiences to see the movie with as little detail about the plot revealed as possible.”

At least one regional PR firm didn’t get the message. At a “Blade Runner 2049” screening Monday for Houston press managed by Dallas-based Levenson Group, attending press received a summary of five potential-spoiler talking points as a handout while exiting the movie. Listed as a “message from the filmmakers,” the short memo implored media to “do your best to abide by the following as much as possible.”

It was a mistake, but some journalists were not amused. While national media that saw the movie in advance of its review embargo signed an agreement not to reveal the plot or review the movie prior to September 29, that was the extent of the studio’s directives. At a New York screening, a publicist spoke on behalf of Villneuve, imploring journalists to “preserve the magic of the film.” The handout’s mandate, however, suggested a problematic attempt to dictate the specifics of a review.

Today’s spoiler-heavy culture means plot twists can crop up in an offhand Wikipedia mention, a well-sourced Reddit board, or even an overly generous trailer. To preempt that possibility, the studio and “Blade Runner 2049” director Denis Villneuve identified the five key plot details that it wanted to keep under wraps, in the hopes that critics and journalists might play ball. They weren’t meant to go directly to the press; studios distributed the would-be spoilers to publicity teams around the country with instructions that reps should speak with journalists after screenings to discourage them from revealing certain details.

The studio already took pains to curate the buzz around “Blade Runner 2049” by showing the movie to junket press before critics, allowing a presumably less-discerning crowd to take first crack on social media. (The studio employed the same tactic a month earlier with “It,” when early tweets were far more positive than the initial wave of reviews, and with “Dunkirk,” where early social-media reactions largely aligned with critical and public enthusiasm.)

However, at a moment when Rotten Tomatoes often overwhelms the nuances of critical debate, journalists are especially touchy about studio efforts to stage-manage their responses. No matter how well-intentioned, this was an unequivocal effort to do the work for them.

It wasn’t supposed to go that way. “This was a mistake by one representative at the agency we work with in Texas to have handed it out in the interest of just getting to the attendees before they left the theater,” said Higgins. “Our sole goal here was to protect the audience experience of seeing the movie with as much of a blank slate about the plot as possible.”

While the studio and Villneuve debated which specific aspects required secrecy to be fully appreciated, they ultimately landed on certain details that many critics could easily reveal in the process of explaining the narrative backdrop. (Most early reviews for “Blade Runner 2049” contain at least one of the studio’s bullet points, involving a reveal in the opening minutes.)

He insisted that the strategy did not point to a new Warners strategy that journalists could expect going forward. “We went further than we normally do in trying to protect the secrets on this because it was the filmmaker’s wishes and we agreed that it made sense for this movie,” he said.

Good Lord everything is a storm in a teacup these days.

Good on them...

It's a minor thing but I've been watching the latest footage, and the shot of Ryan leaving his spinner behind as he's walking towards Vegas has been tweaked. You can no longer see the cityscape against the horizon; just smog.

I guess that makes more sense, or perhaps they changed it due to continuity reasons, but it was cool see the silhouette of Syd Mead-designed skyline.

 

[OutOfBoose]

This nice feeling of being completely unspoiled about the film... Two days to go.

There's a live stream tonight with the composers on Facebook, revealing stuff about the soundtrack.

They changed it to make it more gritty/realistic. Something imo looked a bit off about it like the depth of the image/buildings wasn't there. This isn't the only CGI shot that changed over the months leading up to release though. A lot of other shots have been reworked and polished.
