Looks fun but DeHaan, Cara and Rihanna? Ouch.

Reported for unwarranted french bashing.

 

 

Parfaitement ! Time to counterattack

[elcaballero]

Looks alright, but I can see a lot of people writing this off as low rent Guardians of the Galaxy.

[NCsoft]

I really liked it, looks extremely cool

I was waiting for that comparison to arrive. Every single sci-fi set in the space not called Star Trek/Wars is going to have thrown that at them I suppose. It's a bit of an obvious observation, really.

 

Audiences don't flock to the campy space opera so willingly anymore. Anything that's not Star Wars/Trek comes off as ripping off Star Wars/Trek. This looks a very similar situation to Stanton with John Carter where a director with an ego and blank check thinks the material he's been a fan of for so long is a lot more relevant today than it really is

I liked that the trailer didn't tell anything about the story, just created some atmosphere. Definitely looking forward!

Oh well, I really enjoyed Jupiter Ascending and I'm sure I'll really enjoy this one too! It already looks better visually at least! Some scenes looked incredible.

 

the comparison doesn't come from the fact it's set outside earth...

exactly, people are being locked into the SW relatively regressive visual style (not that I don't appreciate solid practical effects) and anything stylistically more imaginative is automatically unacceptable,  but I want Sci-fi worlds to be as imaginative and as futuristic as possible, there is not a single visual elements from TFA that pops into my mind now, I hope this movie, however, can blow my mind.

[DAJK]

Visually it looks great, but I feel like it'll be another Jupiter Ascending.

[eXtacy]

Besides the acting its look like a fuck load of fun. Definitely gorgeous visuals even if they are not up to top tier hollywood but the movie does come out in over 8 months so theres plenty of time!

 

Just love the vibe it gives off.

[pepper83]

Looks decent, but I would be more excited if the cast was different. Cara seriously?! Stop trying to make her happen.

So far I'd rather rewatch JA than this...at least the people had more personality so far.

[robertman2]

Looks interesting

 

Hopefully Cara is better in this than she was in Suicide Squad

It's quite an international company, actually. In Indonesia, OLX bought two local startups tokobagus.com and berniaga.com, eventually merging them and rebranded them to olx.co.id

Interesting. I wonder which startups they bought in India.

[movieboner]

Wow, the production budget is $180 million!! Way too pricey for a film like this.

[marveldcfox]

Holy shit...the aliens and stuff look amaze balls...the acting looks iffy...but i have a feeling this will be a very fun popcorn sci-fi action adventure fantasy movie.

 

Something that IDR failed to deliver.

 

As far as boxoffice is concerned, I am still not sure it will do well. It has to make bulk of its money overseas. France has to deliver big time.

That does not look good.

 

Might be a spectacularly bad time though

[The Futurist]

Absolutely Stunning !

 

 

GO Luc, show Nolan how it s fucking done mon ami !!!

Also, visionary director alert @Chewy

You know, whith the title, I always thought the album they tried to adapt was "L’Empire des mille planètes" ... going by the trailer and Besson's description, it will be far more from "L'Ambassadeur des Ombres". Both are rather colourful adventures, but with completely different settings and plots and atmosphere, so I don't see a mashup - curious how it'll turn out, maybe an original plot in the established setting?
