gaggle64 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I haven't read the book - but I saw the trailer and I nearly flipped through the ceiling. Apparently it had a very good preview at cannes as well. August 18th for the UK. Looks incredible. http://www.apple.com/trailers/warner_independent_pictures/ascannerdarkly/ Oh, and Robert Downing Jr. He rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EchoDesiato Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Can't wait to go see this, looks amazing. How did they do that? Did they cell shade real footage or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaggle64 Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 Can't wait to go see this, looks amazing. How did they do that? Did they cell shade real footage or something? Apparently it's called retro-scoping - they filmed the whole thing, then animated over it. The final effect really is beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 It's called "vector", available to use with most photoshop programs. I imagine the movie guys just shot it normally and edited the film and waited a year for it all to be processed as a vector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonmike04 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 It looks intriguing...I've been waiting for this film to come out for quite a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyellowbloke Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Hmmm, nice visuals. Keanu Reeves might actually have found a style of film where he doesn't come across as wooden and unemotional. Probably see this just for the original style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soag Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Seen the trailor a while back and i think it looks very interesting. One to keep an eye out for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zygo Ape Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Cant wait to see this, i went to see Sky Captain and the world of tommorrow first day it came out because of the visuals, and ill do the same here. Jesus, does anyone else think keanu reaves is underrated? Hes excellent in Point break, my own private idaho, speed and constantine, heck hes even good in Bill and Teds Bogus journey. Hes rubbish in the matrix i admit but with that much blue screen, what the hell have you got to work with? Even Ewan Mcgregor couldnt pull off a decent acting performance in Star Wars because of it. Im going to see the Lake house later this year too. Looks like a really good film, very original storyline Linky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bard Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Yeah, I cannae see what peoples problem with Keanu Reeves is, everywhere you look you hear people bitching about him, he's pretty good in some movies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShavenWolf Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 weren't radiohead meant to be doing the soundtrack for this or something? im pretty sure i heard that a while back. A long-running rumor suggested that Radiohead was composing the score for this film. This is untrue; however, the song "Black Swan" by Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke will run in the film credits, and Radiohead B-side "Fog" also features prominently in the film. Coolness, Black Swan's probably my favourite track off The Eraser. Though I know that's gonna change everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cube Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 First 24 mins of the film: http://uk.media.filmforce.ign.com/media/670/670907/vids_1.html edit: Don't waste your time. The nice effects are totally ruined by no plot, and dull acting from everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
