Along with hoping that the movie is good and does well at the BO, I hope it will boost Nate Parker's profile. Dude is a talented actor.

Someone should tell those guys to move out of the way. There's a flaming plane coming right for them!

 

[Lencho01]

But, cool guys don't look at explosions. They blow things up and walk away.

In slow motion.

 

[Handsome Rob]

With expressionless faces.

And possibly sunglasses (daylight or night . . . doesn't matter).

And I definitely want to see this film.

Will we see/hear any SW references in it? " I've got a bad feeling about this!"

 

[Kurosawa]

There could be a 1138 or John Milner's 32 Deuce Coupe reference, or something like the R2/3PO easter egg in Raiders. Or maybe he'll add Hayden's ghost into the last scene.

That quick cut commercial with the faux dubstep music rubs me the wrong way. Like it has to be hip and xtreme to garner any attention. Any other WWII based flick would never have ads like that.

 

[MadVillainy]

i agree terry the Dubstep trailer had me scratching my head

 

[Wolfwood]

Yeah, you can tell that trailer was made to try and appeal to a certain group. All it needed was an epic orchestrated score and it would interest anyone.

 

[Kurosawa]

Yeah, the marketing is horrid and I'm shocked that he would let that happen.

I agree.

 

[jacobed]

Thankfully its only the one commercial that has that.

This movie looks awful and looks to be more of a giant finger towards the Tuskagee airmen rather than a tribute.

Terrible.

 

[Slushy]

Lucas not directing + Cuba Gooding Jr. + Terrance Howard = SOLD

Terrible.

With fear of encouraging, care to enlighten?

Looks like it'll be light on characterization and instead they'll be turning these great men into nothing more but one liner spitting pieces of cardboard. The airmen in the trailer from what I can see for the exception of Howard, Gooding, and one or two of the other pilots aren't convincing anyone they're from that era (just looks at the mannerism and manner of speech by some just go check out the PBS The Tuskegee Airmen if you want a more accurate depiction)

The concentration rather seems to be on the fancy bells and whistle "gee whiz" effects instead of trying to give some proper build up. The focus of the entire thing seems off in terms of the pilots.

If anyone wants to see a great representation go check out The Tuskegee Airmen (TV 1995) version instead of this.

Those are just my feelings on it. I don't mean to rain on anyone's parade it's just how I feel about this entire project. I was hoping for the best and unsurprisingly was disappointed once the trailer hits.

Look at it this way, it may inspire a few to learn more about them.

I already know the story, and am just seeing it for the dogfights. If I want good history I'll pick up a book.

 

[Lencho01]

I was wondering if anyone saw the Dubstep commercial. I guess they have to try to get people to see. Especially since it's coming out so early in the year.
