https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkBd1OfRTgc First song to be released from the sound track. More R&B / Pop and less synthwave that comes to be expected from cyberpunk. Guess with the 80mil+ that was lost in Blade Runner 2049 they are looking to make the supporting media a bit more mainstream.

I, uh... what?  I don't hate this at all, but it seems... unfitting? e: like, not just the R&B/pop-ness of it, the general tone of the song seems way WAY off.

Eh. It sounds like something that'd play at the end credits. Movie Credit music is oftentimes pop that has little to do with the actual movie, right? I can forgive that!

Obviously the movie theme should be Pitbull rapping over a beat from Blue Oyster Cult's Imaginos. Preferably The Siege and Investiture of Baron von Frankenstein.

teagone posted:The push back to February was basically the film's death sentence. For those that don't know, the film was originally supposed to be released in July 2018. Then it got pushed to December 2018, and then one last push to February 2019. You could say it's strategic scheduling, but I'd guess the film isn't tracking well at all and Fox probably doesn't have faith in the movie pulling in any kind of significant profit. If only Cameron would have just let go of Avatar for a few years (and I loving love Avatar), then Alita would've definitely had a better chance at becoming a franchise of films. Who needs a franchise? How bout just a good sci-fi flick? Jerkface posted:I think the new trailer is their best one yet, I saw it before Widows and felt like it actually sold the movie to me more than the original 2. I'm avoiding watching too many trailers, but I thought trailer 1 was pretty drat good. precision posted:I guess I'm disconnected because even though all I have are vague memories of watching the anime like 30 years ago, I think this looks really good I'm there with ya. I don't really get hyped for blockbuster cinema that often, maybe once in a blue moon. Alita looks just different enough to intrigue.

The way I look at it is: they spent $150 million making a movie laser-targeted at me and half a dozen other 90s-manga nerds That's like getting a $20 million Christmas bonus this year

I mean, James Cameron is, like, a billionaire. If he wants to spend $150 million on a flop film as a vanity project, I'd say let him!

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:Who needs a franchise? How bout just a good sci-fi flick? Sure. I'd say that about most adapted properties or original works, but the source material for Alita has so much good content that, as a fan of the manga, I want as much of that content adapted without making too many compromises in order to stuff everything into one film. Three films, plan it as a trilogy or something. I'm saying if Cameron were attached as director/writer, then Alita would have had a higher chance of being a trilogy or series of films as opposed to him just being a producer.

We're talking about a guy whose hobby is exploring the Mariana Trench, so it's not like he can't do it just because he wants to see them made as well if he really wants to. At that point, it'd be a sad testament to ideology were he to be too hung up on what Hollywood considers "a successful film."

Actually, yeah, that's a good point. This has been Cameron's passion project for literally almost two decades. Unless this bombs so hard that it just completely demoralizes him on the idea, we'll probably get the others.

Cameron is just a means to an end in my opinion. I haven't cared about one of his films since the original Terminator, so if you ask me it's better that he's only peripherally affiliated so he can just concentrate on making 5 or 6 more blue man group movies. Not huge into Rodriguez either, but at least he's demonstrated that he can adapt comic book source material to some degree.

Also, I'm pretty disappointed about the inclusion of Motorball because that just makes it a small plot beat in a movie that is probably going to be pretty packed as is. I doubt we will see Jashugan showing up in this one, which is sad because similarly to Makaku he and his interaction with Alita could have easily carried a movie.

Grendels Dad posted:Again? The OVA is basically the first volume but with Makaku replaced with a new villain (who it seems like we're getting in this). Given that the original three movie plan was for #1 to be the first volume/OVA material, #2 to be motorball, and #3 to be the Tuned arc, I have a feeling we're not getting the full motorball arc in this one, just enough to set it up for a sequel.

I just had a look at the listing for the soundtrack and if the track listing follows the plot beats of the movie, which it looks like it would, then the movie will end with the first motorball race, instead if having it somewhere in the middle of the film, like I feared. if it is then that looks to be a pretty good segue into a motorball focused sequel.

I mean as long as Nova makes an appearance I'm not too upset about where they decide to conclude the movie. Even if they never continue the series I'd rather have a good adaptation of the material than an over-compressed mess.

So I just kind of realized something: this movie honestly seems a lot more humorless than the manga, and I'm not sure how I feel about that. Like, the Alita manga is a hair away from being straight-up black comedy. The little robot guys that handle bounty hunter bureaucracy, for example, are basically regular people who signed up for a job without realizing that their brains were going to be torn out of their heads, rewired for total obedience, and stuffed in little metal cylinders with weird faces; this is just kind of played off in a 4-panel side strip as a joke, rather than treated as any kind of serious plot point. Makaku literally tearing people's heads open and feasting upon the pink goo inside is treated by most non-Alita characters as completely and utterly normal beyond "oh poo poo, it's that brain-eating guy, probably time to RUN now." I mean, gently caress, the Scrapyard is canonically what's left of Kansas City, MO in 500 years. (Speaking of, I'm a little annoyed they're not doing that virtual-board-game thing in Kansas City, all things considered; you'd think they'd be leaning into that for the American adaptation.)

That interactive world building board game thing seems maybe fun but like, $25 to get advertised to I'm probably gonna skip it, it's cool that they built entire sets for it though.
