OT: Sky Captain and the World of Tommorow...
 

Saw a trailer for this movie coming soon. Looks slightly interesting. Allthough at this point it's hard to say it won't simply be two hours of eye-candy with no discernable plot. On the plus side it's steampunk, so it's got that going for it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

But one major early gripe, why rip-off the theme song from Stargate? There aren't enough out of work composers that they couldn't get an original orchestral work? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

From what I've seen from half the Posts at Slashdot, producers tend to "borrow" themes from other movies for trailers, because often the real scores aren't recorded yet.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">From what I know of movie soundtracks, this is true. Some composers, like my favorite, John Williams, will wait until the movie is complete and edited, then sit through a viewing and compose the movie afterwards. Other composers do it different ways. So there may be a soundtrack yet to go with the trailer.

Saw trailer for that sky thing, and I have to agree: Looks like a standard spesheffex fest with a partially redeeming steam-tech theme.

After the League of Exyawnary Gentlemen I guess Steam tech is in.

However I did see a ciple of trailers that look really good: One looked like a remake of Dawn of the Dead, and the other was some kind of genre-spoof named Shawn of the Dead which looked utterly hilarious...

I will reserve judgement until after I see it.

Did you know the director of Sky captain is the same guy who wrote the software to do the background effects. It's supposed to be a new system where you just put together the movie and then stick the actors in where they are needed. I've seen a trailer for it, and personally I think it just looks like game cutscreens with known actors.

I've seen the trailer twice in the theatres, and I still can't figure out WTH it's supposed to be about, or why I should spend $5-8 to go see it. The appeal of steampunk is lost on me. I'll just save the money for the extended edition of ROTK... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Just heard something on Glenn Beck this morning. Apparently, this guy was creating the movie one frame at a time at his own home in Michigan before some Hollywood producer saw it and bankrolled him. Apparently he had been working on this since the early 90's, and had only 6 minutes of movie done. But it was enough for this producer. He was moved to an off-Hollywood studio. The 6 minute film was shown to some actors, and Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow signed up. Sounds like another Hollywood success story, if only the movie lives up to the hype.
