i've read a 2008 version of the script. Hopefully the thing I read was an early draft and a lot has been changed as I didn't really like it. It truly was an exploration of multiple grand ideas versus a tight, succinct plot.

From the new plot summaries posted in this thread it seems that the version I read is still pretty close to what's being shot now 8(

Is it preachy on this global warming stuff?

Because that is what I said and mediocre movies always underperform?

There's that word again!

When the project was announced for Chris, it was said that Chris would be doing some significant re-writes if I recall.

spoiler about the beginning of the movie - though keep in mind all this could have change as it was the 2008 version.

Spoiler

The start of the film takes place in the future in an almost postapocolyptic agrarian setting. The main character and his father talk about how "we" have destroyed the earth because we've lost the will to innovate and we are basically just trying to survive. The main character is a savant when it comes to engineering. A blight has infected the planet (I think a fungi or a type of super bacteria) that is basically killing off all of our crops and the only thing that can grow are certain types of corn. Civilization isn't exactly destroyed but rather, in disarray. Schools still exist but most kids are forced to become farmers and nothing else.

Thank fuck Marion Cotillard isn't in it.

I was starting to get real sick of her. That death scene in TDKR was laughably bad.

Ugh. Yeah, you'd need a great director to pull this off.

Looking at the cast, I really think some of them are playing the same characters at different ages.

Yeah it does seem like that.

Its nice to see that gaf over reaction crew is already hard at work.

Read a snippet or synopsis of a movie that just started production about a plot point that figures to be just a starting point, if even that, and all of a sudden the movie is in trouble!

I'll never get the fascination with wanting to claim a movie will suck as if its a competition between nerds to see who could have spotted a bad movie years before release. Everything sucks! Everything will suck!

Nolan's Avatar.

You mean it will be a pile of shit?

 

[Sylonious]

So many will rant about how disappointed they were come release XD

Lol, I was disappointed in The Dark Knight Rises, but the rest of his films have been awesome.

 

[Tugatrix]

I read the 2008 script and i really liked but the movie only pull it off in the third act which is amazing...

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

You mean I will call it a pile of shit despite watching it multiple times in the theatre?

Fixed.
