Interstellar - Part 3

[Hush]

How dare you be slightly disappointed! You should be over analyzing this teaser and sight unseen trying to make the movie sound more intelligent than it is eventhough the director and writer are going to have the characters yell out the themes a 1000 times during the 2 and a half hour runtime.

How could I have been so silly? Ill course correct now.

ZOMG! The teaser blew my mind only NOLAN CAN MAKE CRYPTIC TEASERS THAT CRYPTIC AND OMINOUS!!! :nolanzombie:

And yet that still would make it smarter than any blockbuster released this year. At least any during the summer.

Does anybody remember the teaser for TDK where it was no picture and just audio of Michael Caine talking about "watch the world burn" and Ledger's laugh? Or the teaser for TDKR that featured all of .5 seconds of Bane and Batman plus some hard-to-understand dialogue from Gary Oldman? How about the teaser for Inception, which featured a few shots of ominous hallways and Leonardo DiCaprio looking intense?

None of his teasers impress the fanboys, because they are always cryptic. Then by opening day they are eating out of his hand. Or they refuse to, but still follow the imitators like Zack Snyder, Marc Webb and even Sam Mendes.

It is a formula of Internet discontent at this point. And it is actually pretty funny.

Nailed it.

Ha, yep.

On the topic of 'obscure' teaser, I'm also reminded of the first one for Superman: The Movie, which was just the camera moving through the clouds with the names of the actors flying around, and 'majestic' (if you like) music playing. And that's lauded around these parts. Every it comes up, people are always declaring 'That's how you do a teaser! Brilliant!' I'm sure there was a number of teasers like that back then, in the 70's. And we all know Nolan loves 70's cinema. Hell, even Superman Returns and Man of Steel had initial teasers along those lines. AND the Godzilla proof of concept trailer. Do we know the plots of the movie from those alone? Or do we get hints of what it's really about?

The quality of the final product has nothing to do with the quality of this as a teaser trailer. A good movie can have a bad trailer. And a complete lack of any substance does not equal "cryptic", or even teasing. It's just boring and pointless. The movie may or may not be great. But this teaser sucked.

 

[DACrowe]

Eh, it was a teaser. It is about what I expected this early. It did not blow me away. I did not find it majestic. It just did its job and got people talking. Strangely, that is taken with great offense when the conversation is not about the plot.

 

[the last son]

I think this score by Zimmer is going to be interesting. Listening to the trailer song, it has a lot of space sounds in it and think this will be a great score from him. I thought the trailer song was brilliant. He had a lot of instruments in this song. And a bunch of weird space sounding noises that came together in only a way Hans can do it.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Couldn't find one for The Prestige and I'm assuming Memento and Insomnia weren't big enough releases to merit one.

Begins remains my favorite. I still have it memorized after all this time and it still gives me shivers.

I loved that. I've been looking forward to Zimmer doing something a bit different since MoS, where I loved the more 'spacey' music used a few times, such as when Kal's ship his arrives near Saturn, or Jor-El swimming through the Genesis Chamber.

I'm glad I'm not alone. I shouldn't be saying "pfft, what's next?" but looking forward to more footage.

 

[Sysmatic]

I'm a huge Nolan fan but wasn't all that impressed with the teaser either. The high(er) amount of stock footage was a bit off putting for me but then again, I do praise them to the fact that they really made this a proper TEASER though. Showing you that this move is coming sooner or later, but not actually giving away anything big. You're more or less still wondering wtf it's all about if you're not well known with it. It's a proper way to tease someone in my opinion.
Zimmer's preview of the score on the other hand sounds absolutely wonderful though. The biggest plus of this teaser.

Anways. Thanks to the teaser I've managed to create a couple of posters. The first two I made earlier today and the last one I did several months ago.

^ Well done, those are great.

They used to under the Touchstone Pictures brand. The Prestige was released under the Touchstone label. Not sure what they've been doing lately under the Touchstone brand.

Touchstone has been collaborating with DreamWorks since 2011. The biggest film from the collaboration has been Lincoln.

 

[mclay18]

Yup. Also, I feel pretty confident that Nolan's next film might be with Disney (that's where Horn is right now, right?) or maybe with Paramount again if he had a great experience with them. Where is Robinov headed? Fox?

WB will put up one hell of a fight if Nolan even flirts with the idea of going to Disney. They'll probably have a right to first refusal deal after Interstellar comes out, just to keep Nolan there. And I'm sure Kevin Tsujihara will be bending over backwards to keep him happy like Robinov did.

But Disney did co-finance The Prestige with WB, so there is precedence.

I mean, don't forget, these two competing companies came together for this one movie. That's not a common thing. There are suits on both sides of the line who know that it's something special. That alone indicates that this has a serious - I mean serious - chance of sweeping the Oscars.

Uh, it's actually becoming increasingly common nowadays:

Titanic - Fox/Paramount
Lincoln - Disney/DW/Fox
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - Paramount/WB
Watchmen - WB/Paramount/Legendary
G.I. Joe Retaliation - Paramount/MGM
The Adventures of Tintin - Paramount/Sony
Robocop - MGM/Sony
Carrie - MGM/Screen Gems
Girl With the Dragon Tattoo - Sony/MGM
The Hobbit trilogy - WB (New Line)/MGM
Master and Commander - Fox/Miramax/Universal

And there's more than that, but that's what came to mind. And if Interstellar performs closer to Inception, WB will get a massive chunk of international profits compared to Paramount's domestic cut in the U.S..

My eyebrow didn't just raise at this, it leapt off my head, packed a bag, said goodbye to the dog and left town.

WB is not going to let their golden goose go away like that.
PLus i do think that despite all the people who played a big role in Nolan's relationship wqith WB ( Horn , Robinov AND Thomas Tull ) he will probably still stay at WB.
He has enough freedom to pretty make his own movies and untill one of his movies underperforms he will have carte blanche.

Latest news with Robnov is that Sony wants to partner with him.

 

[BatLobster]

If WB lets Nolan slip away that would be such a fail on their part, I feel. I mean, I know Nolan's old pal Alan Horn will be trying to court him over to Disney, but as long as WB continues to give Nolan creative freedom and pretty much whatever the hell he wants budget-wise, there's really no reason for either side to mess with a good thing. Unless Interstellar ends up being a huge flop that's poorly marketed and then poorly received, but that seems pretty blatantly unlikely.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I could see Universal going after Nolan since they are in need of a major hitmaker in the worst way.

 

[Hyde]

Tull is already over there as well. Sony going after Robinov when they've already got that God-awful exec from Fox who ****ed up X-Men? I can't remember his name but you guys will know who I mean

 

[Rowsdower!]

Tom Rothman? Is that his name?

 

[mclay18]

Tom Rothman? Is that his name?

Tom Rothman is at Sony, but he's in charge of the revived TriStar Pictures label (which focuses on lower- to mid-budget films). I don't think we'll have anything to worry about should Syncopy bail out on WB for Sony, since 1) Robinov will have Nolan's back, 2) Nolan's had three consecutive worldwide hits behind him and 3) Rothman won't have any say in the big tentpole decisions like he did at Fox.

 

[Warhammer]

Yo, Nolan is the contemporary Spielberg. I could only imagine, if I had a passion for film making, how amazing that must feel. Nolan can make whatever film he wants and the studio automatically gives zero f***s.

Plus Nolan would totally shut Rothman down.

 

[Rocketman]

I'm sort of fascinated/excited about Nolan's future. His whole career is totally unpredictable now. Before, when he did Batman Begins, you could kind of assume that he'd do a sequel to it, and then The Dark Knight blew up, and you could kind of assume that he would make a sequel to that... And now we know for certain that he's done with Batman. Now we can't assume a damn thing. Since 2005, his career has followed a pattern: Batman / Non-Batman / Batman / Non-Batman / Batman / Non-Batman (Interstellar). Whatever comes after Interstellar is the end of the pattern. We've pretty much known what he would be up to for the past 8 years. Now there's no pattern. Isn't that kind of weird? Isn't it? Isn't it?
