Desert = melanin.
Lack of sun = lack of melanin.
Even on mars.
Don't worry.JGS said:I know
Bad joke
Stanton would be the primary draw.Sho_Nuff82 said:Looks like a cross between Chronicles of Riddick and The Mummy.
Someone needs to tell me why I should be excited about this.
JGS said:Stanton would be the primary draw.
He directed Wall-E & Finding Nemo both of which are pert near perfect if you like PIXAR films.
Plus he's written for a huge chunk of the rest of their catalogue.
So he's a great director & fantastic storyteller, so the trailer (Which again isn't horrible just kinda generic) does not necessarily reflect the potential awesomeness of this production.
Discotheque said:oh and btw: Michael Chabon did scriptwork on this. His last work was Spiderman 2.....
and his next screenplay work is on Fincher's 20000 leagues movie and Aronofsky's new hbo series. So I think Stanton hired the right dude for sure.
Dan said:But fuck people, look at the damn talent here! Andrew Stanton directing. Stanton co-wrote with Mark Andrews (Pixar's Brave, all kinds of awesome stuff) and Michael Chabon, both of which are exciting draws. Then look at the ridiculous cast. And this isn't some crap project that Disney churned out in 12 months. It's got nearly 2 years in post, there is so much work being poured into this.
I can't fathom how this looks cheap. That claim boggles my mind.Solo said:We all knew all of that though going into production. And then we saw this trailer, and it looks cheap as hell and bland as can be.
Hoping this is just a case of a bad trailer/early effects.
Dan said:I can't fathom how this looks cheap.
Can you talk a little bit about the fact that this is not 3D, and was there a lot of talk of going 3D?
Stanton: Its not 3D in the shooting of it; I have no say over whether its 3D in the release of it, as far as whether they do prints that are 3D.
So youre saying its an ongoing decision?
Stanton: No, I think theyve made their decision. Its going to be 3D.
Solo said:It honestly was almost the first reaction I had and it carried on throughout the trailer.
THE-Pink-Dagger said:You thought this looked cheap?! Wow, I really don't see it, obviously we don't see much from the locations, aliens, or etc, this is all kept under wrap for now. Slashfilm was really excited by the White Ape sequence (which really showcases how Star Wars Attack of the clones ripped off that scene apparently), and said that the teaser wasn't as exciting as the actual clips.
Romanticized early 20th century interpretation of Mars.Nlroh said:The desert is supposed to be Mars?
Eh... It doesn't come off as that bland in the book and besides not all of it is desert but a decent amount is so I guess we'll see when we see more of the landscape.cory. said:Romanticized early 20th century interpretation of Mars.
SpeedingUptoStop said:Yea, these comments keep getting crazier and crazier. It's boggling my mind how some people wouldn't even remotely give the director of Wall-E the benefit of the doubt, less alone sensibly set their expectations from a teaser.

Veidt said:Amazing how there's no black people on Mars.
You'd think that a desert planet would have at least a few.
No way. It was an awful preview, there was NOTHING good about it. Sure, the guy made Wall-E. Wall-E was good, but it wasn't that good. Dude is a long way from god status, plus this is his first live action feature.SpeedingUptoStop said:Yea, these comments keep getting crazier and crazier.
