A very bold release date. I want this to do well but with AVATAR II opening a week after this one is suicidal.

What are you smoking its releasing in 18 and avatar in 19

Which will make more WW this or Solo?

Solo. I think both Alita and Mortal Engines will flop with around $200M WW each. 

[75Live]

almost couldn't finish the trailer.  awful acting, and the story is horrible, but the visuals at least look good

[xxoo]

Holmes and Watson gonna go the greatest showman way, MarryPoppins Jumanji way,  Bumble Bee and Aquaman will share Star Wars, SpiderMan will go  PitchPerfect3 way,  and Mortal Engine Father Figure way and Alita Downsizing way

[MrGlass2]

This is the most steampunk movie in years.

You are the one smoking. That post was in 2016.

It is so weird how YA in movies has died, but in publishing it is stronger than ever. Either way, the movie looks super fun. It gives me some City of Ember vibes and that was a blast.

Yes! That's true, City of Ember was great, I loved that movie and I can't believe it's been 10 years. If this movie is half as good as that...

This is a really cool concept that looks like it might be ruined by awful acting and an inexperienced director. Outside of Weaving, why did they cast a bunch of CW rejects?

Vincent D'Onofrio's daughter is in this. Huh.

That trailer was a huge mess.

it was a snoozefest, devoid of any energy and urgency. i think the problem was that the trailer fails to convey how high the stakes are if the protagonists fail. don't know anything about the story but guessing it's in that vein similar to lotr and hobbit.

Rumor has it Peter Jackson is not directing this movie.

[dudalb]

Either this is going to be a crappy  movie,or we have just seen the most inept and badly made trailer in the history of film.

This looked like an interesting idea for a film, but,man, it looks as if they screwed it up.

Note to PJ: Maybe putting a first time director in charge of a big budget film was not such a great idea...

Lots of hyperbole in this thread...

it's what Jackson deserves for putting out a trailer that bad.

 

[The Panda]

Yikes at that trailer

 

It looks like you gave a DM for a dungeon and dragons: steampunk edition game 200m dollars and told him to go wild.

You don't know what bad is, do you.

[AndyK]

Don't know what you lot are smoking, I enjoyed that trailer.

[robertman2]

This looks absolutely dreadful. I'm honestly impressed

He's always like that, sadly.
