Thanks!

She was wonderful in \”Air Doll\”. I have a chance to see a screening of the film during a brief stint in Tokyo as a film student.

Mr Anonymous, you\’re probably right that many people (especially those who haven\’t read the book) might not be itching to see this, so this won\’t be a blockbuster. The bigger issue is this might fail because it\’s the Wachowskis. A more capable director would be able to film this well despite the unconventional structure of the book. That takes a lot of talent, and I don\’t think the Wachowskis have that talent based on their previous films.

They have obviously watched Air Doll… but ok, I\’ll take it. I love Doona Bae, and this just makes me mad excited.

That new Warners chief sure does like spending money. Budgets up. Marketing spends up big time. The spend on Green Lantern alone was insane. I don\’t see this ending well.

This movie sounds like an epic fail.

If you said to average clueless punter to you do you fancy watching a movie adapted from the complex novel by David Mitchell, the story follows six plot threads across time—a 19th century notary on a Pacific expedition, a bisexual musician in the 1930s, a female journalist in a thriller in 1970s California, an aging publisher in London in the present, a clone in a futuristic dystopia, and a Pacific survivor in a post-apocalyptic world—all of which fold in on themselves.

What do you think they would say? No way will this bring bums on seats. Sadly, this will bomb. Big time.

that budget is pretty high. having read the book, i just can\’t imagine this thing is pulling in huge numbers. it\’s a fantastic story, but still – this is the era of transformers.
