Did anyone notice the instrumental music was Pure Imagination from Willy Wonka.

As soon as the trailer played I noticed it.

I hope this movie doesn't only rely on nostalgia for the sake of making the audience feel nostalgic and being all like "Oh look. The Iron Giant. Something I recognize from my childhood. Pop culture! I automatically love this movie because of how nostalgic I feel."

I think with Spielberg at a helm, it's not going to be a complete nostalgia fest.

Same. Nostalgia is a great feel-good thing, but a film can't survive on that alone.

[Blankments]

So wait is Vin Diesel in the movie then? I'd hope he's voicing the Iron Giant

[Twelve]

That racing scene wasn't in the original book. Looks like there going to make some drastic changes. I hope they keep in the Ultraman vs Mechagodzilla fight.

They had a clearer image on Reddit (I guess the Int. Trailer)

Sick.

 

Now give me references to my two favorite anime and I'll be ecstatic.

I highly doubt Cory in the House will be in this movie.

That's basically the book, for better or worse.

I get the feeling as many have said that the movie will likely improve on the book.

There was a poster as well I guess.

Seriously, how many of these geeky pop culture references Spielberg is aware of from this movie ?

During the Bridge of Spies press tour, he would ramble about how he didn't care much for the movies of the summer season but was waiting for the AMPAS season movies more.

Which is the definition of irony coming from him.

Holy Grail of Pop Culture is one of the saddest descriptors I've ever heard

Are you seriously doubting the geek creds of the guy who produces your beloved Transformers?

 

 

The irony inside the irony...

 

(Spielberg is one clever and cynical geek. The guy was a hardcore gamer back in the nineties while shooting movies. He always has kept an eye on videogame industry trying to milk it through Dreamworks Interactive, Medal Of Honor is credited to him as the mastermind behind it. He's no casual old geezer trying to be hip with the E3 crowd because he once played to Mario Kart).

Besides Justice League and Thor: Ragnarok I'd say this was one of the best trailers to have come out of Comic-Con.

Not hard to do when there's only one other trailer outside of those two.

So was that the Delorean from Back to the Future?

 

I have no idea what this film is about, I'm not familiar with the source material.  But the initial trailer is hit and miss for me.  Looks kind of generic but some of the pop culture references are pretty cool.
