It's interesting on what they're reporting but I'll be on the safe side and just wait until further confirmation just so I know it's true.

 

[Solidus]

Yea but Sky is pretty reliable in Europe if I'm not mistaken.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Is it? I was skeptical at first myself...

I'm just excited we got Rapace and Fassbender in a sci fi Ridley Scott film written by Damon Lindelof.

Can I get a **** yeah?

Robin Hood and the last years from Scott means no f... yeah.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Oh, yeah? Well... well...

I think CG is a crutch! Yeah! That's right!

*rips shirt and roars while growing epic mane*

 

[Octoberist]

Yeah, use CGI when you can't build it. But you can't HG GIGER's designs when it's a physical set or a creature.

Spaceship driven by a giant head computerized head. That sounds incredible.

I love everything I'm hearing about it. Who's Scott going to go for the VFX I wonder?

I hope for a super team up of WETA/ILM/Digital Motion/Framestore/Hydraulx/Stan Winston studios etc (yeah I'm dreaming that would be incredibly expensive but then again I don't know how much money Fox is throwing into this one). These people are incredible and working with Ridley I think they could make something incredibly explosive.

I'm in for this alone.

The rest is okay too.

Giant Heads scare me. Like the one in Dr. Who and the race of beigns in The Neverending Story.

 

[craigdbfan]

Yeah even the badly done giant Baby head in Matrix Revolutions scared me. Yeah giant heads are very scary.

I'm sure at some point it'll take over that ship, it'll go renegade on em.

 

[Octoberist]

I have a theory that when you can do it right, the uncanny valley can work. when you take something something like a human's face and alter it (make it bigger, or place it on a monsters body) makes it disturbing.

 

[craigdbfan]

I think thats a good way of putting it yeah.

 

[Doc Ock]

Giant Heads scare me. Like the one in Dr. Who and the race of beigns in The Neverending Story.

Actually, now that I think about it...Giant Heads are pretty scary. Like the Wizard of Oz!

 

[Solidus]

I always think of System Shock and SHODAN when I think of a giant AI with a floating head. That or Wizard of Oz.

OH HELL YEAH!

Robin Hood and the last years from Scott means no f... yeah.

The last years from Scott? Kingdom of Heaven's DC, American Gangster and Body of Lies are the shizznit!

 

[dark_b]

Body of Lies was about the actors and their acting. Scott brought nothing to the table IMO.
Heavens DC means s... to me . if Scott wants me to pay money for a ticket then he needs to start making directors cut's for the theater. if he doesnt have the balls then he is a bit..

 

[Hunter Rider]

Check out Inglourious Basterds.

I've seen it, who was he in it?

Yea but Sky is pretty reliable in Europe if I'm not mistaken.

They are to a large degree.

You do realise Scott wanted to release the DC theatrically, the studio took it off him and butchered it.

The director brought nothing to the table of getting good performances out of the actors in his film?

Besides, he car chase with the RPG's and the Apache choppers in BoL was awesome.

I've seen it, who was he in it?

My favourite character in the whole film! Lt. Archie Hicox!

 

[DACrowe]

I've seen it, who was he in it?

He was Hilcox, the suave British film critics who spoke excellent German, but unfortunately with an English accent. He has the hilarious line about Scotch before he goes out with a bang. Nice role that got him some notice.

I agree that BOL was boring. I don't think it was an actor's movie either. I think it was trying to be an edgy deconstruction of the CIA's role in the post-9/11 world, particularly the Middle East. But it felt overbloated, overly convoluted, underwritten, and--worst of all--boring.

However KOH DC is worth checking out. Fox forced him to cut a 3 hour epic that may not have been great (Orlando Bloom wasn't strong enough of a lead to reach greatness. That movie needed a Christian Bale or Ewan McGregor type in the role) but it got pretty close. And had amazing supporting performances by Liam Neeson, David Thewlis, Jeremy Irons, Eva Green, Brendan Gleeson and most of all the Syrian actor whose name escapes me right now and Ed Norton as King Baldwin IV (The Leper King).

Just to illustrate how better it is...the priest Balian kills at the beginning of the movie? Did you know that was Balian's brother? Or how about why did Sybilla (Eva Green) go crazy at the end for no apparent reason other than her husband being a predictably terrible king she could not control? Because before her husband ascended the throne her son (who you never see in the theatrical cut!) becomes the Boy King, however it is discovered he too has lepracy and instead of letting him suffer, she kills her own son, dooming her kingdom in the process!

It is a much more meaningful film.

there is no way that i will belive that Scott thought months before the premiere that hes directors cut of KOH would be realesed. i think they(FOX and Scott) agreed that they will realese a bad cut for the theater and the DC for the DVD. but it tricked me. it was mean.

So wait, a cut of the movie that is explicitly stated as being as close to the directors intent that ends up being good does not count as good work for the director?

 

[redhawk23]

Wheather the Space Jokey was built or not I don't think its going to be in the film at this point.

 

[Hurm...]

Yea but Sky is pretty reliable in Europe if I'm not mistaken.

Yeah, SKY is reliable. It's a station like HBO which has films and TV shows

Bale in Bloom's place? ****, if that happened, this movie could have been one of the best films of last decade. Still a great film though. Bloom did what he could and he was likeable at least. I liked him knighting everyone.
