Niccol is back, bitches. This looks great.

Also, posters.

Nice! Kinda feel like I've seen the movie after that trailer, though.

I'm not into movies where they just make up a ridiculous future where people have to die BUT ONE GUY ISN'T DOWN WITH THAT and it's all supposed to be some kinda swipe at our society.

Children of Men is amazing, though.

So is Squints' imaginary version of Logan's Run starring Matt Berry.

That's because that's not the actual trailer, it's the clip they showed last week at Comicon which gives more away.

"Everyone can't live forever. Where would we put them?"

that line made me laugh out loud.

Haha yeah that line is stupid but this looks brilliant.

Niccol is like a well adjusted Charlie Kaufman. Best ideas in the biz.

In a world where every movie is about a futuristic dystopia...

Gattaca was awesome, so I'll see this.

Did anyone else think Cate Blanchett was on that third poster?

I think I'll be more specific - I only dislike the movies where the made-up society happily trucks along, accepting death or not falling in love or whatever ridiculous thing, then this extremely handsome guy goes "hey but wait" and that's pretty much the movie.

Reminds me of the movie idea Gervais and Merchant discuss in an Office dvd extra: 'Brain Jail' - set in a future with rubbish laws like 'you can't have your own thoughts':

Which reminds me of Equilibrium. Where it's illegal to have emotions. Man, that movie is so bad.

& I agree w/pete - this is a movie we've seen 10 times before, it's paint by numbers at this stage...maybe it will be ok, but I'll be waiting to catch it on tv...at best.
