Even though, y'know, many of them would have read the book and would thus be fully prepared for it. Eff you, Weinsteins (or whoever).

I was expecting black and white with a subtle peeling away of the facade of the world, giving the audience a seat alongside the new receiver in his revelations. Watching this trailer everything seems to be pretty clear already.. saying it's futurism resembles 'Oblivion' is to say it resembles several hundred other films.. disappointing thus far but who knows? Like you said, Meryl signed on
