I’m totally down for anything Brad Bird directs, plus the visual style looks really cool here.
Bird wrote and directed and it’s his first movie since Incredibles 2 back in 2018
* Sam Rockwell voices Ray Gunn, a small-time private eye in a time when most detective work has been taken over by machines
* Scarlett Johansson voices Venus Nova, the world’s most famous pop star whose scandals threaten to destroy her career, and may even cost her her life
* Tom Waits plays Eyera, Ray’s most trusted compatriot, who also happens to be a one-eyed alien
hole smokes, instant hype 🙂
Sounds cool, but I was hoping for a documentary about Australian breakdancing.
Man, I love the Pulp era and its aesthetics.
I’m sold on Tom Waits alone
So is this supposed to be a kids movie or an adult film that just happens to be animated?
Aw man. I first thought it was a new Bioshock.
Stop talking. You had me at Brad Bird
Oh thank god he’s still making stuff. I was really scared after Tomorrowland, which I absolutely hated.
Oh yesss
This looks incredible!
They are going to have to change the name of the movie here in Australia
I read this script ages ago. Can’t believe it’s finally being made!
You had me at Brad
When I read the title I thought it was going to be a biopic about a terrible Australian break dancer
Then an australian freestyle dancer pops outta nowhere 😱
You had me at Tom Waits.
Tom Waits = Absolute Legend
Not to be that guy, but it’s ‘Ray Gunn’.
Sure loves his retrofuturism
Rockwell has been having a great year
Wait, wasn’t the word that this was going to be 2D animated?
Brad bird? Hell yeah. Starring Sam Rockwell?? As lead? I am already seated
The middle shot looks beautiful.
Sam Rockwell in what seems to be an animated sci-fi noir film sounds like a perfect match
I like Brad Bird but I feel like this is just going to disappear without trace on Netflix like so much Netflix original animations – it seems like Skydance Animation’s entire existence is making films that disappear without trace on Apple/Netflix (still not sure why they hired Lasseter, was it just so they could put ‘from the visionary behind Toy Story!’ in trailers?)
This is reminding me of Cool World
Who animated this?
Huh, I’ve never wanted to play a video game before because of an all star cast but Sam Rockwell? Sign me up. Oh wiat it’s a movie and not a video game? Huh, even better.
It looks great and all but how does that tie in with Australian breakdancing?!
Still excited, but I had really hoped this would be 2D.
