Lindelof script?
I can see it now.
Movie starts with a big-ass action set-piece, most likely involving a chase of some sort. Then shit quiets down, quickly sets up paper-thin characters and motivations, but it's not long before another unnecessarily bombastic set piece shows up. Shit quiets down again for about 15 minutes, but another epic chase sequence begins. Gotta keep that audience from falling asleep over the nonsense going on in the plot, because by golly they're going to be punched into submission into liking this thing. It goes on and on until the very end where it finishes off with the most massive action set piece of the movie yet, but you're so fed up you won't give a fuck by then anymore.
The End.
Seriously though, I hope Lindelof's influence was kept to a minimum.

The Oatmeal's artist was actually called in by Disney to ask him about Nikola Tesla, he also gave some possible details about what the movie is about.

Man that second picture in the OP looks horrible.
John Harker
Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
Yea. Big shame he had to do this before his Dark Tower project, since that fell through. Stupid studios.
Oh well. Still excited for Tomorrowland! He hasn't let me down yet.

Probably because he's attached to Prometheus, the Star Trek reboots, World War Z, Cowboys & Aliens, ..
Not saying I didn't enjoy some of these.

The article describing the story sounds more awesome than I expected it to be. A shame about Lindelof, but I trust Brad Bird with polishing up the material as a co-writer so I'm not as worried as I usually am with Lindelof-penned films.
You're gonna EAT this movie???? :O
oh my fucking god
I thought this was shit that you made up. He actually said this.
oh boy

He'd probably be a lot less hated if he could wrap his head around the idea that stories are best written with a beginning, a middle, and an end.

So...you're saying that The Leftovers is fucked.
I wish.

You mean the one with a 93% rotten tomatoes score? Ghost Protocol is IMO the best in the series, and I think 1 and 3 are really good. Brad Bird has made nothing but classics so I'm in for anything by him. Lindoloft is fine when he has more talented people helping him and it doesn't get much better the Bird.
Hype!!!!!
Hell yeah, this. I love the little diorama models Disney has on display in the Space Mountain queue. Stuff like that just excites me.

People have been very critical of these things that he's worked on.
Not enough Faith in there.

This movie will finally answer the age old question: what's stronger, Lindelof's shittinesss or Bird's amazingness.

If this turns out good Lindelof will get no credit, but if it turns out bad he'll get the blame.

I look forward to seeing the reactions to this movie.
If it turns out bad, everyone bitches about Lindelof.
If it turns out good, everyone praises Brad Bird.
In absolutely no situation does Brad Bird get flack, nor does Lindelof get props.

Damon Lindleof
is this a joke post?
all he does is take other peoples scripts which make sense and just ----------------- to confuse the audience.
he will take brad birds amazing script and ruin it.
You'll have to tune in tomorrow.
Check Brad Bird's body of work.
The overreaction to Lindleof if exactly that, an overreaction.
I could have sworn I read somewhere that this was gonna be part live action, part animation.
Ah well, :-(

Something like this will undoubtedly have a lot of CGI, so he could have more influence there than a typical director.

Its certainly got an Ayn Randian concept, should fit right into Brad Bird's wheelhouse
