Knowing Preposterous

i,Robot director + Nicholas Cage. **Shudders to think**. I do like me some Rose Byrne however. Sorry, gotta run now.

  1. I must admit I have some serious problems with the ideas in the trailer. How does he figure out that particular pattern? I like that they have that other guy say that he’s putting his own ideas into the numbers but it doesn’t go far enough for me. Even with those problems, this could be a fun disaster to watch unfold.

  3. Andrew, Why would you remember Alex Proyas for his work on I, Robot and not for Dark City?

  4. Has anyone seen Garage Days? Never has a single film so changed my perception of a director for the worse.

  5. At Ole, because I was trying to give a worst case scenario. Which it undoubtedly will be. Looks like a Nic Cage version of The Number 23. I love Cage, but his choices in pictures are odd to say the least.

  6. Fair enough. The Number 23 was awful. But I have more faith in Proyas than I have in Joel Schumacher.

  7. The only thing about this film that worries me is Nic Cage.
    But he doesn’t piss me off nearly as much as he has before in this trailer so…
    But it’s Proyas. The Crow is fantastic, Dark City is bad ass and I Robot is a piece of shit but I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

  8. Dark City is so overrated. This trailer is garbage. I lol’d for the entirety.
