I've gotta admit, I have never seen or thought about someone hurling one city at another... so they might steal a ticket sale from me.

Also... Goldblum has aged. It is what it is, but I did say "wow".

it's the world-ender emmerich was born to do. his final form.

 

[BocoDragon]

I approve. It does seem like the properly evolved version of the spectacle that the White House laser was 20 years ago.

 

[Hermii]

The hurling one city on another city shot looks cool, but no special effect in the world can replace Will Smith.

 

[Firemind]

It's like Terminator without Arnie. Maybe they will replace him with CG Will Smith.

 

[Metalmarc]

This spot looked great, now I'm interested

 

[Mr Swine]

We can pretend that Goldblum fired Will at the fat lady (Alien in the MS with the Nuke), so he (Will) heroically sacrificed himself for the greater good

 

[MrCunningham]

I bet the aliens forgot to update their antivirus software. And we got Jeff Goldblum on our side so we are safe.

Shit will be going down after he dusts off his old PowerBook 5300...

This time it will be infused with alien technology.

 

[HStallion]

Which is actually good because his son would have been in the movie.

Yeah but knowing Jaiden he would have played one of the aliens so it might have worked out.

Jesus... was that the computer??

I swear in my mindset, the computer was a 2015 MacBook Pro... haha. It's funny the little things that make you realize "this shit is old!"

 

[Pluto]

That trailer was really boring, some patriotism and lots of CGI destruction porn ... meh.

 

[SpaceWolf]

All I want to see from this film is a post-credits scene revealing Captain Hiller to have spent the last few years deep undercover on the other side of the galaxy, having traveled the universe to slowly gather extra-terrestrial intelligence for the benefit of Earth's governments. Suddenly, he catches wind of a THIRD alien attack heading straight for Earth...

Well...guess I better get my ass home.

Yeah it was. Apple even made TV adverts as part of the cross promotion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1QGlunELXM

Their PowerBook laptops actually ended up in a lot of movies between 1995 and 1997. They were really pushing for as many movie tie-ins as possible. PowerBooks were seen exclusively in the movie Hackers as well as the first Mission Impossible movie, for example.

 

[strafer]

Goldblum is amazing.

 

[MarkMclovin]

In for Goldblum and cities getting wrecked.

Everything else will be shit.

 

[clay_ghost]

Interest rising only because i want to see how Singapore get destroyed.

 

[EGM1966]

Nah. I'm done on CGI carnage. Too dumb looking for my advancing years.

 

[KingSnake]

Is that Dubai dropping on London some kind of metaphor regarding the fears of Britons about middle east migration?

 

[archangelmorph]

Jeff OIdblum!

 

[gamz]

Day one for me. Hit or miss Emmerich brings the goods. Just love his style of destruction.

 

[jmdajr]

I'm in. It's gonna be yuuge!

 

[Bishop89]

I love goldblum, but they really should have gotten will.

 

[strafer]

I love goldblum, but they really should have gotten will.

They did but he turned the movie down in fear of it bombing because of his recent outputs.

 

[Tugatrix]

Wait a moment they didn't destroy London in the first movie?

 

[Majine]

I gotta admit, I watched and enjoyed "2012" for the sheer spectacle of destruction, despite it sucking in every other way.

This will probably be the same deal.

 

[gamz]

They did but he turned the movie down in fear of it bombing because of his recent outputs.

Feat of bombing? He has the worst agents or the worst career sense.

 

[Hermii]

Wait a moment they didn't destroy London in the first movie?

It's the Americans! They are planning a counter offensive!

RAF Captain: it's about bloody time!

 

[Tugatrix]

It's the Americans! They are planning a counter offensive!

RAF Captain: it's about bloody time!

In a desertic background in the middle east

 

[Bishop89]

Ye his output has been pretty shit for years now..

 

[gutter_trash]

Will Smith is a party pooper for not wanting to return, yeah he can do some good dramas but have fun dude, it's not like if any remembers After Earth

 

[gamz]

Ye his output has been pretty shit for years now..

You'd think if he needs a hit this and Suicide Squad would make a great one two punch. It doesn't make sense not do to this because it's probably one of his more beloved roles.

 

[SpaceWolf]

Will Smith is a party pooper for not wanting to return, yeah he can do some good dramas but have fun dude, it's not like if any remembers After Earth

I think that was exactly the problem, though.

 

[gamz]

I think that was exactly the problem, though.

Which is?

 

[TyrantII]

Meh. I'll wait till its in TV

 

[E92 M3]

I watched the original in theaters with my dad and it was always one of my favorite movies. Sad my boy Will Smith isn't in it, but will definitely watch.

 

[Hermii]

Wait a moment they didn't destroy London in the first movie?

You are right, London was destroyed. I guess they rebuilt it.

Jeff Goldblum just flat out cracks me up! Love him!

 

[RS4-]

Didn't they go ahead with filming because Will was too busy with Suicide Squad?

He'll be back for part 3 anyway.

 

[gamz]

Didn't they go ahead with filming because Will was too busy with Suicide Squad?

He'll be back for part 3 anyway.

Huh? Is he back for part 3? I thought he was dead.

 

[shingi70]

Didn't they go ahead with filming because Will was too busy with Suicide Squad?

He'll be back for part 3 anyway.

They killed his character off in universe I believe.

 

[RS4-]

I'm with the others thinking that they "killed" him. He'll be back. He needs the money after resurgence makes 700m

 

[NealMcCauley]

They did but he turned the movie down in fear of it bombing because of his recent outputs.

He asked for $50 million and/or prominent roles for his kids, and Fox's response was "take a hike." That's the rumor I've heard most.

 

[Beefy]

They killed his character off in universe I believe.

He can still survive. Not like they will turn down Will Smith if he wants to be in the 3rd one.

 

[strafer]

He asked for $50 million and/or prominent roles for his kids, and Fox's response was "take a hike." That's the rumor I've heard most.

Really? Holy shit.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

It's the Americans! They are planning a counter offensive!

RAF Captain: it's about bloody time!

This just reminded me how god awful the RAF pilots' dialogue and accents were.

I liked the spot though and still have a bit of a soft spot for the original.

 

[Busty]

Eh. Roland Emmerich is just taking his tired old disaster movie schtick and is cranking it up to '11'. I could see this being a Jurassic World sized hit if audiences get a sufficient nostalgia vibe from this.

He asked for $50 million and/or prominent roles for his kids, and Fox's response was "take a hike." That's the rumor I've heard most.

So..., it's not true then? Just because you 'hear' a rumour a lot doesn't make it any more likely to be true, it just means that it's a rumour that people are talking about.

 

[Alebrije]

It seems Mexico is not invaded by the aliens , wonder why?

 

[hom3land]

They built a wall.

 

[NealMcCauley]

True, but it sounds plausible imo.
