I saw an article reference black mirror. I've never seen it, is it on Netflix or something?

 

They're exclusive for new seasons and I think all of them are on there as well. I keep meaning to watch the first episode but the entire concept kind of freaks me up.

The book has a great concept but it's really repetitive. 

 

I was hopeful that Ponsoldt would take the concept and run away with it. Unfortunately, this looks like a very faithful adaption of the book.

If the concept freaks you out stay away from the film's website

This comes out April 28. Looks kinda eh though, outside of hammy evil Tom Hanks

The trailer is interesting and a bit creepy at the end. It reminds me of how FB knows everything and anything about you

 

It may be a bit to cerebral for casual viewers, similar to Arrial. Hopefully a new trailer comes out soon

@CJohn, can you move this to the main thread? It's already got a trailer and a release date.

Trailer 2

 

[DAJK]

Huh, pleasantly surprised! And it doesn't hurt that Emma is literally a goddess 

[filmlover]

Emma Watson's American accent, yeesh. Otherwise, looks interesting.

[TheDarkKnightOfSteel]

Seems very interesting.Watson and Hanks don't hurt either.

This will probably end up doing ok because people will still be on a Beauty and the Beat/Watson high.

People want to see Beauty and the Beast not Emma Watson. This will flop.

This is an indie film. If it gets a wide release it'll recoup quickly.  It won't make a massive amount of money.

Bill Paxton's last role. It's a small but important part; it could be a nice note to leave on.

Had not heard of this til just now, doesn't seem like a great sign

[Morieris]

What an awkward poster but I guess you gotta get facial recognition in there because people don't read.

 

I'm only here to see John Boyega.

Kind of meh by his standards, but probably will still be the only thing anyone will remember from this movie a year from now.

Wide release of indie movie can still easily cost a lot, it is getting a nice tv push.

Sometime that can work a bit reverse, like both Tom Hanks release that was not Sully last year, people did had their Hanks fix. It can be hard to sell 2 movie close together if they are to share similar audience like that.

 

Having Hanks/Watson will certainly help the movie have visibility but it is not an automatic, a STX movie like that without reviews would normally have none I imagine.

Sully doing well wasn't because that's where people wanted their Tom Hanks fix. A Hologram for the King was a limited release with audience limiting subject matter while Inferno was just a sequel that nobody was asking for.
