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?
