Ward (Will Smith) and Jakoby (Joel Edgerton), embark on a routine patrol night and encounter a darkness that will ultimately alter the future and their world as they know it.

 

[jrush64]

Looks really great. Looking forward to it.

 

[HStallion]

Somewhere Nolan is screaming.

OT: Looks far better than I was expecting. I am curious how tactful the whole minorities as monsters will be handled. It could easily fall on its face.

Why the hell would they put 'from the director of Suicide Squad' in the trailer

 

[theCalamity]

Looks good. I liked the script.

Why the hell would they put 'from the director of Suicide Squad' in the trailer

Bad as it was, it made money.

 

[xxracerxx]

The only thing I can hope is that they go into the backstory of the world.

 

[Saucycarpdog]

The setting reminds me of shadowrun.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

It looks good.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

This makes me want a Shadowrun movie real bad.

 

[strafer]

Why the hell would they put 'from the director of Suicide Squad' in the trailer

The movie won an oscar, that's why.

 

[Mariolee]

Wow that looks great.

 

[Strike]

Finally. Been waiting for any kind of media from this. I'll be sure to check it out if the reviews are good.

 

[KraftyKrankins]

Just a heads up: Remember that the Suicide Squad trailers also looked amazing.

 

[Trago]

This makes me want a Shadowrun movie real bad.

My first thought as well.

 

[SephCast]

"Looks good enough to watch on Netflix!"


said 90% of the people who have Netflix. Brilliant move by them to bring it to their service. This would've definitely bombed in theaters, but it'll do well on Netflix which does wonders for their reputation.

 

[Bony Manifesto]

Yay, 90's Will Smith is back!

 

[John Dunbar]

ayer has a stunning ability to make all his films look ugly.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Shadowrun starring Will Smith

 

[Crossfader]

Just a heads up: Remember that the Suicide Squad trailers also looked amazing.

Not really. They looked like music videos.

 

[Santiako]

Shit, that looked great.

 

[Speevy]

I don't know what I just watched.

 

[gforguava]

I greatly dislike Ayer but I will watch anything with Noomi Rapace as an elf.

 

[Dynomutt]

Don't know why but this reminds me of Alien Nation...

 

[Baroquemantic]

Looks awesome. What a ridiculous concept.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Meh. Production values are there. But otherwise looks like the type of movie a studio would dump in September or January.

I did like the line in the stinger though.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

I like this trailer too. Damn, I got to wait all the way until December though. At least I got Jessica James next week.

 

[jelly]

I'll watch. It looks good and bad.

 

[jack_package_200]

Hopefully this isn't edited to hell and back.

 

[Mechazawa]

I really, really wish a Shadowrun-esque movie wasn't being grafted onto yet another David Ayer cop/crime thriller.

 

[Effect]

Really looking forward to this. Love real world/fantasy world mashups.

 

[fade_]

Shadowrun the movie with will smith.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Really looking forward to this. Love real world/fantasy world mashups.

That's called urban fantasy bruh.

 

[LFMartins86]

Hopefully this isn't edited to hell and back.

It's on Netflix, they don't usually mess with the director's vision.

I feel like this could've had a decent theatrical run. Probably not in a crowded December - but if this was a February/March release? Easy 40M opening. Smith still caries some weight, and Ayer is hot off the highest grossing movie of his career. Even as an R-rated genre flick, this would do decent business.

 

[Effect]

Couldn't remember the term. Thanks.

 

[Ashhong]

Why the hell would they put 'from the director of Suicide Squad' in the trailer

Maybe because it's a hugely popular movie?

 

[wetflame]

Huh, looks alright. I like the magic wand as plot device, putting something that's OP in fairy tales into a real world seeing and following that to its conclusion. Will be checking this out for sure.

 

[EverythingShiny]

In for Joel Edgerton as an orc. I'm a big sucker for urban fantasy so I hope this is good.

 

[Inferno313]

From David Ayer and Max fucking Landis?

Paaassss.

 

[Speevy]

From the director who brought you "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" and "Sucker Punch", comes a heartbreaking tale of brotherly love set during the Great Depression.

 

[Strax]

ayer has a stunning ability to make all his films look ugly.

End of Watch and Fury are ugly now?
That's some post-SS revisionist history.

 

[polyh3dron]

Hopefully this isn't edited to hell and back.

Well it's the same editor that came on to fix suicide squad and fix warcraft..

 

[Speevy]

That's true, but the purpose of putting "from the director of" in a trailer is not simply to raise the profile of the movie, but to advertise the caliber or type of film that's being previewed.

 

[iPaul93]

This somehow remids me of The Fifth Element.Movie looks okish from the trailer.I'll probably give it a watch.

 

[v1lla21]

Ayer's last two movies have been stinkers so I hope this is good.

 

[Plesiades]

Joel Edgerton as an orc. Edgar Ramirez as an elf.

Sure, why not.

 

[hydruxo]

End of Watch and Fury were really good so I still have some faith in Ayer. This trailer didn't do too much for me but I like concept a lot. Looking forward to watching it.

 

[Ashhong]

True, but they also included the other movies that were received well like Fury and End of Watch. So the people that hated SS can see that he is capable of doing a good movie, and the people that love SS will want to watch as well.

 

[RS4-]

I would've watched this in theatre.

You guys do know Max Landis wrote this shit, right?

So it's not just a David Ayer movie. It's a Max Landis-written David Ayer movie.
