Will Smith needs to be banned from using CGI in any of his movies.

Irobot....cgi sucked
I Am Legend ....cgi sucked
Earf...apparently mammal CGI sucks


Not watching this.

HITCH seems so long ago.

I'm pretty sure it isn't Will Smith who uses CGI. Can't imagine him stepping off set and putting in a shift with some fancy computer software.

 

[eternaLightness]

Lol you guys are crazy. I wonder what's up with the accents.

 

[disappeared]

Sorry Gary but that trailer looked abysmal as fuck.

 

[Gila]

Sheeeiittt, I am excited

 

[Angst]

I think it looked interesting, will definitely watch it.

 

[lednerg]

I was sort of interested until M Night's name came up.

 

[raphier]

I thought this was about futuristic tarzan. The kid grows into Will Smith over time. But nope.

 

[Tom_Cody]

Not interested based on the "acting" on display in the trailer. I will definitely see it if it ends up getting good reviews though.

 

[cruets]

Sequel to the happening. It all started then

 

[RustyNails]

The twist is that it's not really his son but a younger version of Will Smith. HE'S ALONE!

Kitai is in a VR game. Then Fresh Prince removes his vr headset.

 

[RustyNails]

Of course it was licensed. This is Sony Pictures, not some fucking guy posting CoD knife kill vids on YouTube.

I get that, but why you gotta hate cod knife vids

 

[Lucius86]

Will watch for the Whitta. Not feeling the trailer, but willing to give it a go.

 

[WarMacheen]

Looks good,

Gary, you doing autographed Bluray/dvd's again when released?

 

[Gary Whitta]

Looks good,

Gary, you doing autographed Bluray/dvd's again when released?

If people ask, sure.

 

[Angelus Errare]

The twist is... all of this takes place before Earth is colonized by modern man.

 

[Vyrance]

I think it looks great. Definitely my type of movie. Probably will see it day one.

 

[SteveMeister]

This looks really good. I want to see it.

 

[Jb]

This could end up being really cool or incredibly cheesy ("earth/nature is hostile and dangerous but also incredibly beautiful and we must therefore preserve it"), hard to say from the trailers.

Nice to see Deus Ex HR's incredible soundtrack getting some use too

 

[Gary Whitta]

The international version of the poster flips Will and Jaden and has the full billing block. They spelled my name right!

Will clearly cloned himself!

 

[Cheebo]

I just found out m night and another writer did a re-write on Garry Whitta's script for this

 

[Aesthet1c]

Gary how much control do you have over your screen plays?

I loved The Book of Eli, but Will, Jaden, and Shyamalan really kind of ruin this for me. I'll probably still see it, but I think different actors and a director would have done wonders for this story.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Not sold yet but will watch for Whitta. Being that I met Gary at PAX a few years back and he was cool, I will support his endeavors.

Spoiler

Gary plz send me Mila Kunis' phone number.

I still need to have you sign a Book of Eli poster or something I can hang up Gary. Wonder if Mondo/Olly Moss will ever do a BoE poster.

 

[pestul]

I like this trailer a lot better than the first. Will watch.

 

[Smellycat]

The only thing this trailer convinced me is that I need to replay Deus Ex: HR.

 

[Jesus Carbomb]

Why does Will constantly look like he just had some bad Taco Bell.

 

[Gary Whitta]

I still need to have you sign a Book of Eli poster or something I can hang up Gary. Wonder if Mondo/Olly Moss will ever do a BoE poster.

Find me at PAX Prime this year and I'll do it.

Spoiler

the poster, not Mila's number

 

[Nyx]

Some fx were pretty bad, but overall it looks like a movie I will enjoy.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Find me at PAX Prime this year and I'll do it.

Spoiler

the poster, not Mila's number

Unfortunately I won't make PAX this year. We do every 2 years, so next year I'll be going. Unless you plan to be around San Diego at the end of May it'll have to wait until next year!

 

[SebastianAlexander]

so it's The Hunger Games with Family Smith?

 

[Pollux]

Of course it was licensed. This is Sony Pictures, not some fucking guy posting CoD knife kill vids on YouTube.

I was going to see it anyway. But for some reason this comment just made me laugh out loud in the middle of class. I'll see it opening day now.

 

[charsace]

Can't wait to see this. I love the Smiths and love Gary Whitta and The Book Eli. Keep black hollywood working Whitta.

 

[MadraptorMan]

Can't parse the premise. Stuff doesn't evolve that quickly.

 

[Brera]

I like book of Eli but this has Jayden smith and M Night whatshisface.

It's going to be shit. The twist is in the trailer...they're on earth!

 

[charsace]

Lol you guys are crazy. I wonder what's up with the accents.

Is really hard to imagine that people's accents change over a thousand year period? Just watch movies from the the 40's and be wowed by how different people sound back then compared to now.

I love how a black actor's kids get so much hate when white actors hook their kids up all the time.

 

[effzee]

Looks good!

And where the hell has Will been anyway? This is his first movie in almost 2-3 years right? First since 7 Pounds?

Hope this isn't too similar to Oblivion because from the trailers the premise for both seems almost identical.

 

[Gary Whitta]

Looks good!

Men in Black III, last year.

 

[effzee]

Men in Black III, last year.

Holy shit how the fuck did I not even notice?

Then again didn't see the movie.

Is your movie the reason he passed up Django? Scheduling conflict?

 

[Beaulieu]

Book of Eli was one of the worst movies I've seen in my life.
This looks worse.

 

[Gary Whitta]

Thanks, I always try to top myself with each new project!

 

[Beaulieu]

Thanks, I always try to top myself with each new project!

Did you make these movies alone ?

 

[Gary Whitta]

Did you make these movies alone ?

No, lots of people work on them.

 

[R2D4]

Did you make these movies alone ?

Yep. Just Gary and a camera.

 

[Beaulieu]

No, lots of people work on them.

So surely you are not responsible for the overall quality of the projects ? What was this comment about topping it up ?

edit : my point is; writing isnt what people judge when looking at a trailer. don't be so defensive.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

I like to picture Gary with a camera and a pad of paper (iPad) filming Denzel and Mila by himself.

With both Will Smiths watching in the back.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Seriously man, writing movies for Hollywood is a pretty cool way to make a living.

 

[Gary Whitta]

So surely you are not responsible for the overall quality of the projects ? What was this comment about topping it up ?

Well you referenced two movies where I am the only common factor so it seemed like it was directed at me. Anyway I have no idea what you're talking about. Moving on!

 

[dekline]

Been interested in this since I saw the trailer before the hobbit.

 

[Raxus]

Are we going to find out what is up with the accents? It is really bugging me.

 

[Violater]

If I ignore them talking the action looks great.
