About damn time this got a trailer. Looking good, can already tell the critics will complain that the plot is everywhere. Seems like 3 movies in one.
I guess the recut rumours were true
They need to market it somehow, the trailer looks generic and has action. That's what's needed to sell. I doubt Gray with the support of Pitt would recut anything. He already won several studio battles and at the time he didn't have Pitt with him.
Further information about the film can be found here.

>After reading the script, it's kinda eerie how much this personally reminded me of Blade Runner 2049. There's even a James Brown hologram ala the Elvis hologram.
>It could go either way (as of right now, I'd predict a MC score somewhere between 75-81), but there's going to be so much tech support with this film (the description of all the space stations and platforms is nothing short of immaculate) It's exactly what you picture a Gray sci-fi film to be (Lost City of Z + Interstellar + Blade Runner) and while I found some of the narrative trite and forcefully dramatic (albeit, it's tough to read sci-fi scripts), it really is a playground for him to show off with the techs and visuals-- it luckily won't have the skyhigh expectations of Interstellar and Plan B should support it because it'll be his most accessible (there's chunks of real rough, lazy exposition dialogue in the first act), breakout film (might be overall too "highbrow" for general audiences but not moreso than, say, Arrival and packs even more action sequences).
>Tommy Lee Jones plays Pitt's father and while the character is ripe for recognition, it's a limited role ala Neeson in Silence.
>This belongs to Pitt (ironically, his character is described as introverted along the lines of Neil Armstrong, which makes an interesting companion piece with First Man ) His character is a lot like Adams in Arrival or the somber characters Gosling has played in Blade Runner, etc (very cold, reserved, distant, formally deliberate-- perhaps more awkwardly so) but gets a few 3rd act occasions to let his guard down and reveal an expressive, vulnerable side-- that said, I can see a path at a nomination.
The film test screened last year. The reactions were positive, allegedly it's Pitt's best performance. The film is also good but not for basics.
Cont.
It would allegedly make a good companion piece to First Man, because it deals with the same themes. This one was better according to the person who has seen it.
There was supposed to be test screening somewhere in March but that one was cancelled, shortly after that there were short reshoots. At this time rumours about recutting started. The film is supposed to be weird and studio didn't know how to market it, that's why the the release date was moved around. Gray claimed that the VFX work wasn't finished that's why it was moved.
Gray also claimed that the film is mix of Apocalypse Now and 2001. The composer said that the film is more for people who like Solaris and that the film is also fun.
why cant we just have a nice slow paced sci fi movie about a thing in a box
It's a James Gray flick, i doubt that the trailer represents the film accurately.
I thought the west was trying to kill latin?
holy shit this looks great and intriguing as fuck
>Normies commenting on YouTube that they're getting Interstellar vibes
>shooting at each other on a high speed lunar rover chase
Looked pretty good until that bullshit
>gunfight on the moon
hard pass
What's wrong with that? There is McDonald on the moon also, it's fully colonized.
Can't wait for a nuclear holocaust.
you think bullet's don't work in space or something ?
To be fair visuals look similar because of Van Hoytema. Hopefully this one will be good unlike Interstellar. James Gray is an actual director and not talentless hack like Nolan so there is hope.
The whole trailer until that point appears to be an interesting 2spooky mystery.
>2spooky mystery
More like retarded save the world scenario. I still trust Gray and hope that the film will deliver in terms of character study but the whole plot looks retarded af.
It went from invisible threat to internal conflict then these guys shooting at each other at the moon show up.
looks like Interstellar meets Gravity
The plot of this movie sounds really interesting but that was a bad trailer.
Today keeps getting fucking worse; I expected Heart of Darkness in space, not some shit like Interstellar.
Gray said that it's Heart of Darkness mixed with 2001.
looks like another disaster movie
I mean The Lost City of Z was kino of the highest order but that trailer looks like a fucking Michael Bay joint (and not the good kind)
I think it's just the trailer. Based on script descriptions the film won't be like that.
>What can you tell us about the LIGMA Project?
What's LIGMA?
How does he fall from something that's in orbit?
>Check casting
>there are black actors in it
nah dropped
the fuck is this movie even about?
Here
You will love this film. No black people in it. Also no women.
I was interested until that Moon buggy shoot out scene. wtf was that?
I'm reserving judgement, but this seems a straight up rip off of Interstellar
>He continues, “And it’s very ‘Heart of Darkness.’ It’s sorta like, if you got ‘Apocalypse Now’ and ‘2001’ in a giant mash-up and you put a little [Joseph] Conrad in there and you hope its as good. But it’s probably not. I’m being silly. But those were the influences.”
No one said it's literally a mash up. Gray himself said it's "probably not." This movie won't be god tier 10/10 or even 9/10. This looks and reads like a 6/10 or 7/10 at best.
Not really, the only thing that connects them is the cinematographer. The story is different and the main characters are completely different.
this. grayfags always dropping muh 2001 muh apocalypse kino. thats insulting to kubrick and coppola
I think this could be great. Pitt as an autistic astronaut going deeper and deeper into the solar system sounds great. It being weird and more cerebral than usual scifi sounds great. The trailer looks decent but not what i expected when i read about the script. Hopefully it's just false marketing, so they can pretend it's another Interstellar but in fact it will be something weirder and more interesting.
Sweet trips. But I hope so, too. Keeping my fingers crossed that that lunar gunfight was just a fever dream of Brad's or something.
Well i doubt that, i think that the film will walk tightrope between mainstream action film and more cerebral film. We will see whether Gray can pull it off.
