OUTLANDER: The Trailer

Post by aTOMiC »

outlander.solsector.net/index.htm

Well here is a movie idea that seemingly has a lot of potential for fun. You got Vikings, Aliens and Dragons doing what they do. For about half the trailer I was thinking wow this could really be a hidden treasure but then I got a glimpse of the "alien" and my hopes were dashed a bit. I give the filmmakers high marks for trying to bring a fairly cool "what if" story to life but unless I'm missing something it looks like the film might suffer from weak budget and some other things I'm not quite sure how to express.

It could be interesting. Have a look and decide for yourself. :biggrin:

trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

And I was thinking it was a remake of the "Sean Connery is a Spa-a-a-a-ace Sherriff!" movie.

We are simply awed by the beautiful trailer for this movie. It looks fantastic. The effects look fantastic. The Movie looks fantastic. Basically, we're nearly rendered speechless. We're also quite astounded by how beautiful the cinematography looks and how closely the shots match the concept art. I think We'll let the film do the talking.
There's this mentality now that all movies have to be some epic amazing masterpiece. What ever happened to the Moderate to Good flicks?

Outlander's been getting good reviews. Not Batman good. But good enough to warrant NOT going direct to DVD.
Moriarty’s Open Letter To Harvey Weinstein Regarding Howard McCain’s Groovy Viking/Alien OUTLANDER!

... Look, Mr. Weinstein, you and I both know nobody’s going to the Oscars for OUTLANDER, but there is an audience for this. It’s a good cast. John Hurt and Ron Perlman and Jim Caviezel and Sophia Myles and this Jack Huston guy who should be due his big break any second. All of them are rock solid in it. ... The film looks great. ... Geoff Zanelli’s score definitely shows the composers roots in the Hans Zimmer factory ... With this movie, he’s written a big sweeping action epic score that really pays off some of the big visual moments, like that awesome flashback to the home planet of the Morwens, or in some of the most entertaining character moments, like the game of shields they play. The design work by guys like Iain McCaig and Ryan Church -– big names to the geek community, Mr. Weinstein –- looks like it made it to the screen completely intact, something that’s fairly rare. I mean, how often does a movie actually look like those gorgeous paintings we see from pre-production? This one does. Frequently. For a movie that cost as little as this one did, every dollar looks like it ended up onscreen.

... Mr. Weinstein, please don’t dump this movie. Please. 50 screens and then straight to DVD?

Sounds like a decent, quality production. It's a shame, I don't know anything about it, and I haven't heard anything about it.

When movies like The Happening get tons of hype, and then I hear about good movies that don't get any, it's enough to make me want to found my own studio.

Meh. The trailer doesn't really grab me. If a friend wanted to see it, I'd go along. Probably wouldn't go out of my way though.
