Too bad you guys decided to write this off. It looks very promising and very good. Much more excited for this movie than most sequels/CBMs next year.

Eh, I'm still writing it off. Any movie can be made to look awesome in 2.5 minutes. I feel like if they were truly that interested in making something good here they would've waited until Villeneuve was available again.

Or they found a good director for the story they wanted to tell. This is like writing Aliens 2 off because they got some upstart James Cameron instead of waiting for Ridley Scott.

But why? Villanueve isn't necessary to this being good. Sheridan wrote something (presumably  good or at least interesting because it's Sheridan) they pick another director they find promising and have it put by 2018. No need to way for Denise (who is seeming like a pretty busy dude)

[Plain Old Tele]

Yeah, I don’t really care about DV’s lack of involvement. Even if it’s just a basic updating of CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER, there’s fun to be had. 

[That One Girl]

Let Denis make Dune and Cleopatra.

And honestly if Soldado is good, I'll be very happy for another reason. A franchise willing to experiment with tone and style is much more interesting than just delivering a rehashed Sicario.

[That One Girl]

I haven't seen the director's previous two movies but from what I can tell they were both well received.  Nothing wrong with taking a gamble on a promising up and coming director.

A competent foreign film doesn't inspire as much confidence as The Terminator. With a sequel greenlit this quickly my first thought is they cared more about turning it into a B-exploitation franchise at the expense of all the sociopolitical subtext that made the first movie such a hit.

 

Maybe I'm wrong; wouldn't be the first time. But the only thing that's going to sway me here is reviews.

Again as long as Sheridan's name is attached you got my interest

[DAJK]

Honestly, the only Villeneuve movie I've loved is Prisoners

Yup. It's not like Villenueve is the only great quality filmmaker out there or something. As long as it's a solid follow-up, I'll be pleased.

[Ethan Hunt]

And i mean come on if anyones presence will be missed it Deakins 

[That One Girl]

Blade Runner 2049

That's a loss too, but as a general rule cinematographers aren't as much as directors.

Blade Runner 2049 is not as good as Sicario 

That's true

I haven't seen all of the Villeneuve movies but Arrival is absolutely my favorite out of the ones I've seen.
