The director is not Denis Villeneuve, its someone who has never directed a movie before :(

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Ugh! Well, I guess that's the end of that.

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 17 points 3 days ago

Amazon Prime Movie is the new straight-to-video.

[-] nyahlathotep@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago

It's a tv miniseries, not a movie.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Most Amazon Prime miniseries are the new straight to the SciFi channel.

[-] HorreC@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

is this real?? I cant take it seriously with that googly eye on her forehead.

[-] KazuyaDarklight@lemmy.world 43 points 3 days ago

Pretty sure that's a shot from "Everything, Everywhere, All at Once".

[-] HorreC@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

ok that is better, I thought these were all from the show and I was like.... am I missing something here. Thank you, I was.

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 10 points 3 days ago

Zero of the three images are from the movie in question. Even the one on the left is of Ryan Gosling's character in BR2049.

[-] Lemjukes@lemm.ee 2 points 3 days ago

Probably because ‘@DiscussingFilm’ on twitter either doesn't have access to or there just aren’t any promo stills.

[-] jawa21 13 points 3 days ago

I wouldn't give this a whole lot of hope since this is Amazon. They managed to even make Wheel of Time OK at best.

[-] Captain_Buddha@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

"Ok at best" is generous...

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Okay? OKAY? It was awful! Truly horrendous. What a terrible outcome for such a beloved book series. Their show runner should never be allowed to run anything except commercials after that.

[-] jawa21 3 points 3 days ago

OK at the very best. Look, I am hurt, too, and I had wished for the series to exist for a long time. The only reason I said it was OK (in spots) was because at times it looked cool at times and there are people out there that care about that.

That show was an abortion of television. Robert Jordan is doing barrel rolls in his grave.

[-] CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Pretty sure that’s why you haven’t seen any Sanderson adaptations yet.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Sanderson was doing his best to wash his hands of it when it was released. He publicly stated that his opinion was ignored, and that he won't do any TV or movies unless he's given more control. Imagine the hubris required to ignore the best living modern fantasy writer, a writer who actually worked with Jordan on the series, and wrote the last 2.5 books, and instead rewrite the script to just do your own thing. Truly mind boggling.

[-] CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Yeah I don’t know if their idea was to court people who haven’t read the books, but this just leads to alienation of book readers and they failed to create a good show to begin with.

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

That is likely the most award winning googly eye of all time

[-] masterbaexunn@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Is this another one of those second screen experiences? I can't get excited about these direct to streaming movies no matter how big the names and budget. Damn fools did it to themselves.

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Its probably going to be trash anyway. BR2049 was really good. I also didn't know that it was released in tje same year the original blade runner was released. So much artistic talent and care was put into BR2049 and that's clearly not going to be the case here.

Like there were so many hidden things in BR2049. Such as the issues about AI and Joi.

[-] nyahlathotep@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago

I'm... cautiously optimistic due to Fallout being a good amazon prime show.

[-] TheVelvetGentleman@hexbear.net 3 points 3 days ago

Great. Can we get a new cyberpunk IP though?

INTERGALACTIC: THE HERETIC PROPHET, a new Naughty Dog game in the works looks like it might be Cyberpunk themed. It’s SciFi at least.

[-] Hammerjack@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 days ago

Personally, I think the video game The Ascent is the best new cyberpunk IP to come out in a long time. It's such a fully-realized world I assumed it must've been based on a TTRPG or something but nope, brand new IP.

[-] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

Didn't they already make this movie with the guy from Breaker High?

What is Cyberpunk?

Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.

Cyberpunk characteristics include:
