Can't wait.
 
I just watched the trailer and it looks awesome.
 
I damn near came my jeans
 
Hopefully this version does the book justice. It looks really promising.
 
I never understood any of that shit. Time keeps getting more pussified, not Mad Maxified.

I haven't been this excited about a movie in at least two years.

Same. Nothing but a bunch of shit coming out. And then finally, this.

I thought the Sy Fy miniseries was really good, though obviously low budget. Too bad they never got to God Emporer.

Just don't make it anything like that monstrous failure from the mid 80s.

I can't wait.

I would have to read it all again to be sure, but from what I remember I thought SyFy series did a much better job than the movie. But still difficult to encapsulate the book in the time allotted. And then they never finished the story, but at least stopped at a reasonable place.

I have high hopes. I understand it will be multiple movies, so maybe we get a good telling this time.
 
Got the wife hyped about this movie. She insisted on watching the '84 movie to refresh her memory of the story. :facepalm:

Laughed at the overacting and campy graphic effects of the time. Had to spend way too much of the movie explaining what was really happening that the movie just couldn't make clear.

That was the problem with the 84 version. It wasn't that they distorted story. It more or less followed the first book. Except the ending which was different but not really as different as some people claim.

But they relied way too much on some opening exposition and zipped around the story with barely any coherence.
 
Now delayed by covid a year, rescheduled from Friday, December 18, 2020 to Friday, October 1, 2021.

Doing homage to Brain Damage. Might be worth seeing just to hear that again at theatres volume.
