Can't say the cast excites me. Love Bean and Redmayne but Kunis and Tatum don't exactly thrill me as leads.

After the piece of shit that was Cloud Atlas I don't think I'll ever be hyped again for a Wachowski film.

But they made a really good movie 15 years ago..!
 
I don't understand how Kunis gets roles. Not the Meg thing, she is just awful in films. It's like amateur hour acting and she is annoying.
 
Fool me once(Speed Racer), shame on you. Fool me twice(Cloud Atlas), shame on me.

Fool me three times?

edit: oh right, the Matrix sequels. Fool me five times?
 
This looks neat

Channing Tatum strikes as the "so you wanna make a fuck-nuts balls out space opera? Ok well, here are our picks for the lead otherwise no thanks" kinda thing

Then again, they did cast the 'nu for the Matrix
 
Not really sure with the Wachowski's, but I will watch it. If nothing else, they always make movies worth discussing - whether they suck or not.
 
I wish this trailer exhibited half of the visual audacity and boldness of Speed Racer.

I don't see why you would expect that -- this seems like a much more "grounded" space opera while Speed Racer was based on a cartoon and retained that in its film style. Even if you were expecting a different style, I'm not sure if this type of movie would benefit from the eye-popping visuals of Speed Racer.

Speed Racer had groundbreaking visual techniques and ideas...that were never used again. Regardless of color and art direction. JA reminds me more of Cloud Atlas, somehow.
 
Well, it actually looks pretty good.

Anyone else getting a Forerunner vibe off those planes @ 1:10 or so?

But for this movie, that wouldn't work at all. I don't know why you would expect/hope for that.
 
Jett: I think a reveal trailer is a bit too early to declare how "audacious" the movie will be in regards to how its filmed.

WB have to take into consideration that the Ws are coming off 2 commercial bombas in a row so it would be a good idea not to alienate people right off the bat lol
 
I'm intrigued, the setting looks really cool. I've typically liked their stuff, so I'll definitely give this a shot.
 
Looks terribly generic.

Fifth Element + Matrix + Total Recall

First you say generic, then you mention three almost unique, vastly different looking movies. Hmm.

Anyway, Speed Racer was nearly unwatchable but they got me back with Cloud Atlas. Hard to say about Jupiter Ascending yet but as always, hopefully it's great.
