Johnny Depp Set To Star In Wally Pfister's TRANSCENDENCE

@Equinox: Yup that pretty much summarizes how this thread is going to go lol

^lol. Sound interesting.

Sounds like this could be great. Looking forward to it.

The look of a film aint everything. If you're going to put butts on seats make the subject matter interesting and not hire big name stars to bolster a crap story

Or better yet, why not adapt this?

Oh, remind me not to go see this.

On second thought, I won't need to be reminded.

"In Nolan I thrust!"

*Sigh* Frickin' hate Depp.

"a man who courted a bit of controversy here on CBM with his anti Avengers comments last week."

But the rest of the world didn't bother to care.

This is a good question Spartan! He's horrible.

I'm excited for this film, Wally is one of my favorite cinematographers so I'm intrigued to see his directing skills.

@Spartan, mattattack you're idiots if you think Tobey is a bad actor.

Johnny Depp in a movie not directed by Tim Burton? BLASPHEMY I SAY!

Tron legacy had one of the best soundtracks in a long time!

Not much to say about it, other then it sounds exactly like Tron. Wait and see I guess.

Wow, another Nightmare on Elm Street cast member doing a modern movie? First Langenkamp in Star Trek 2, now this? Oh, wait, it's Wally Pfister and he's directing? [frick] this.
Overrated cinematographer who has friends in the right place gets a chance at his wn movie, because "all he really wants to do is direct" and thewn comes up with some prtetentious, "It's a sci-fi and I'm inspired by 2001" shit? [frick] it no way.

Please tell me he hasn't written the script, too. This thing will be like the film version of a really bad X-Factor/ American Idol audition.
Seriously, he's directing his first feature film with a shit-load of stars, because he was Nolan's cinematographer and he got some strings pulled? This will be really, really bad.
I mean Christopher Doyle is a really good DP and even his films aren't really worth recommending to anyone. And they have actual artistic merit, which I can't see any film by Pfister havng as his shots don't.
Don't get me wrong he's done some admirable photography for Nolan, but any artistic credance there came from his serving the storytelling or from Nolan's directorial decisions. He does capture some magnificence and scale, but I judge artistic merit on more than mere efficiency and practicality and professionalism (he has these in spades), but there's just something missing. He seems ver-trained and is not individual enough.

I hated the first Tron And conveniently skipped the second one.

F.uck this guy. Hope he only makes enough money to fix that gap.

Oh and to the people criticizing Wally just because he talked about your precious comicbook movie "The Avengers"; stop whining. He has his own opinion that doesn't mean you should start hating him and everything he does because he feels differently about something you like, a lot of you people hated prometheus, and the dark knight rises; and that's your opinion, but should a person hate you for it? No. So get over it gosh.

Could be good even if it is like Tron, will have to see the trailer

After all two movies can have the same general idea and be totally different

Like that movie with Government agency that had been keeping a square shaped object of alien origin and immense power that had been on earth for while. You know that funny action movie that opened with an attack on a military facility, at some point they needed a scientist to decode a signal and had a big city brawl as the climax. The villain and one of the protagonists were brothers if I recall and at one point the one character updates his look just because.

Because that movie is an awful lot like another movie on the surface but it's Taboo to connect the two even if though both were good fun in my opinion.

...or am I just grasping at straws
