Not my cup of tea. I think my disdain for ugly looking characters is well known after that Dune fiasco.

WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS

This looks messy.

[Jandrew]

This is still a promoted tweet on Twitter. I guess STX is picking up the tab? Either way good decision to help gain exposure outside of the core fanbase.

Every frame looks so busy, Besson's mission with this one must have been to use every single color in the color wheel as much as he could. It's exhausting. Doesn't help it looks like another blockbuster from the Happy Meal school. Not interested.

That's confusing, in the Justice League thread I learned movies have to be colorful... I know you were not one of those people, but still.

 

Valerian looks great to me, though. Loved this trailer too.

@Telerian good movie to stan for, you have chosen well .

Besson's Jupiter Ascending. Concept art porn, abysmal acting.

 

Those two leads, ugh. You know something is wrong when you wish Rihanna was cast as the female lead instead. Back in 1997, Besson could afford Bruce Willis when he was still Hollywood action star royalty and an international draw, now he couldn't get more than Chronicle of a wimpy kid who is a Box office bomb magnet twenty years after.

 

I can't even fathom the marketing blitz that will descend upon me from french networks, this thing is gonna be everywhere hailed as the Second Coming.

Of course, it will do big here in France, Luc Besson is basically considered the french James Cameron.

I don't think the problem here is that Besson couldn't get better stars. Budget is gigantic. He probably picked who he thought were right for the roles.

I don't doubt that.  He certainly could've afforded bigger stars.

 

Only question is...did he choose...wisely?

Cara Delevingne is coming off that Oscar winning sensation Suicide Squad.

Rooting for it. Cheerleading it. Being a loonie for it. 

And in Australia rooting means something else.

Its unfair that there's not a best eyebrow Oscar.  She'd totally win.

PSA: @Spaghetti by the Sea is going to stan SUPER hard for this. I've accepted it'll make zilch but fuck me that was a good trailer.

 

I'm in good company to die on this hill with.

I thought that was the category it won.

I do not like your friend.

I saw a TV spot for this last night. I dont remember if it was a trailer announcement spot or a normal spot, but hey it still got one 4 months early.

 

Studio must have confidence.

[Ethan Hunt]

Shit this actually looks awesome

[JohnnyGossamer]

Somehow the leads being charismatic vacuums has me even more anxious to catch this one. But, yeah, probably more folks globally would be excited to see a more magnetic pair lead the flick.
