LUCY

[Davenport]

Is "Lucy" from a comic? Or are directors starting to write their own? Pretty wild trailer, getting real close to Dr. Manhattan godlike territory.

Or godesss, in Scarlett's case.

 

[techvoodoo]

Never heard of this before, it looks pretty cool.

[Columbia Comics]

Certainly looks interesting...

[RockMyAmadeus]

Ok, that looks cool.

 

Probably will make no sense.

 

But it looks cool.

[Comicopolis]

Looks very interesting.

 

Scarlett is on a roll this year.

[Davenport]

Reading up on it, it's by Luc Besson (The Fifth Element, Leon).

 

Yeah, I think this one's a no-brainer. Hurry up August.

[Prince Namor]

They should call it Limitless 2.

[BlowUpTheMoon]

We really need a movie sub-forum.

[retrothecollector]

That's was amazing!!!!!!!!

 

Count me in!!

 

Holy poop shoot!

 

Scarlett I love u

Looking forward to this myself. And yeah, this seems to have been come up with by Besson.

 

("seems to have been come up with" is not my best phrasing, I think.)

Any opinions or comments on directors doing their own original comic book-ish offerings.

 

This looks like the 2nd one in a short timespan, right on the heel's of the Wachowski's Jupiter Ascending .

[JazzMan]

They should call it Limitless 2.

 

This is exactly what came to mind when I was watching. Takes a different angle but a similar premise. I enjoyed that one and I believe I will enjoy this one too.

[Crimebuster]

I hope this does very well. It might open the doors to female superhero movies.

 

[Wall-Crawler]

They should call it Limitless 2.

+2

 

Except it is like Limitless on LSD.

[Jking3437]

Looks awesome

Looks entertaining I guess, but so tired of hearing that stupid "10% of your brain" myth perpetrated yet again.

[Comic Book Guy]

Trailer looks pretty cool...

 

There will be a panel for this movie at WonderCon on Saturday 4/19. The director will be there but hopefully Scarlett shows up too!

If they can do it well, more power to them! It can be refreshing to not know the backgrounds, origins etc. when you go to such a movie. Sometimes inaccuracies in a known character's history make for all manner of internet angst, even if the movie itself is good. With a movie like LUCY the only provenance we have is what came out of the writer.

 

Then again, I anticipate internet angst anyway as people see similarities (real or imagined) to existing comics.

[Dr. Balls]

I think we have a successor to Sucker Punch.

Then scene around 2:15 is very interesting and to my mind has some deeper indications. Previous dialogue suggests her potential for separation from this reality. In that scene it looks like she is perceiving the world the way we perceive a smart phone or tablet, and using hand gestures to shift time. Most intriguing.
