Falling in love is the greatest joy in life. Followed closely by sneaking into a gated community late at night and firing a gun into the air.

Thanks, MAC. Wow this looks really cool.

Undoubtedly. It's instantly clear how much better this will work as an animated film - the suits, in particular, are completely believable in this context (one only has to imagine the same effect in live action CGI to see how much better this route is). It's gonna be brilliant.

Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

yeah, no

I really like the look of the suits, but having read the book, I don't like the look of this trailer.  Too many scenes that look like they're trying to spell shit out for you.  That shouldn't be done with this.

I have some hope... I'm just a little scared after seeing the trailer (though the scrambles look awesome.)

SPOILERS (I think)

also, the trailer contains spoilers (I think)

the trailer starts halfway through the book. if the movie starts that way, with that plot, it will suck. but i think it's just another spoilerful trailer that hammers on the climax and ignores the premise. (are these really spoilers?)

But remember, this is a trailer.  Just because THIS seems to spell things out, doesn't mean that the movie will.  I don't think that Linklater is scared of confusing people who don't get it.

Trailers often contain spoilers and seem to spell everything out.  Sideways, for instance, hasn't really been truthfully advertised--the commercials make it look like a silly comedy with a simple-minded story about two crazy idiot buddies on a rampage through wine-country.  Basically Dumb & Dumber Go To Napa Valley.  But... well, just remember that trailers are misleading.  All we can really tell from this trailer is that the movie will LOOK cool.

That was the most amazing.....I don't know what to say. Linklater has won me over. I hope now everyone will see how Waking Life was just a horrible, necessary step to reach this...fucking genius. It looks just too fucking good to be true.
