(As said in the Joker thread) Maison is usually right about this sort of thing.

[SLAM!]

Paramount will be sweating bullets if Joker becomes a smash hit breakout one week before their film's release.

Wonder if any of the big willie fans from Aladdin will come to support this? It's the only big budget original film of the whole year, so I hope so.

Dope reactions from the footage shown at an event.

They're probably sweating bullets anyway because this really doesn't look good... even with audiences having seen semi-CG Will Smith in a huge movie earlier in the summer...

The weird thing is Young Will Smith  looks like an off brand Young Will Smith.   That isn't Will Smith's face from the 90s.    I don't know if it's b/c we're seeing it reduced frame rate but it's just off.

[LawrenceBrolivier]

The framerate really doesn't have anything to do with the de-aging effect and CG head replacements not working quite correctly.... although the framerate is another knock against the film possibly breaking out, since audiences have firmly told the industry they don't like HFR multiple times now....

Paramount will sell this thing on the back of its VFX.... which are obviously not doing what Lee needs them to do... and to compound that problem the HFR thing will be brought up... and audiences aren't interested in any of that... 

Lee will have to make one hell of a spy movie in order to overcome the built-in negative reaction Gemini Man is going to inspire.

Big Willie ia have a great year. This will be big. Canr wait

Almost forgot this one existed. 

 

We stan, right? 

 

Gonna be interesting to see an action movie from Ang Lee. It’s been quite a while since he directed one.

I um....didn't love the last trailer to put it charitably.

 

But Ang Lee. And Benedict Wong. I'm IN.

This movie is like a relic of the 90s

200m OW guaranteed!  Will Smith is THE action star of the millennium and ALADDIN made everyone fall in love with him again.  Getting TWO of him is going to make everyone want to come out and see it.

 

LEGS WILL BE GREAT TOO!

Spoiler

This might be too deep a cut for the current crop of BOT users.  But old fogeys from the BOM days might get a chuckle or two. 

 

And, no, didn't even attempt to mimic the posting style that much.  Just went for OTT enthusiasm and called it a day.

Of course the trailer music in this is a Jaden Smith song, lmao
