For anyone interested the novel this is based on is a difficult but fantastic read.

Like The Road I'm not sure I'd actually be able to bring myself to watch this if it is an accurate portrayal of the events that take place in the novel.

*sweats*

Will fuck with this. Netflix hitting home run after home run after home run.

 

[RastaMentality]

Fantastic, intense trailer.

Not a knock to anyone involved, but I wonder if hollywood's ever going to vary up the African content outside of war and corruption. We don't get many other stories that take place in the continent.

 

[Badgerst3]

Where's Wallace yo??

 

[Chinner]

I hope this makes up for no good deed.

Doubt it. Mexico had to pretty much bribe the new bond film to portray them positively. Hollywood likes their stereotypes. With that said, this film looks great.

 

[nick nacc]

Costumes look shitty.

 

[robotrock]

Not gonna watching the trailer. I bet this is going to be brilliant.

Can't wait.

 

[Sh1ner]

Spoiler

CHOP HIM!

Ok Idris, I will watch.

I know Lupita Nyong'o is doing a chess biopic and romance drama. Both are set in Africa. Not many Africans have that kind of juice in Hollywood, though.

Man...not sure if I want to pay extra to see this in theaters or just watch on Netflix. Kinda funny that it's even a question for me, since this (watching movies day 1 at home) has been something I've hoped for for a long time.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Looks like a good movie.

 

[Dany]

Great posters!

 

[Cameron122]

Can't wait to feel like shit through this whole movie

 

[BobLoblaw]

Greatness. Ugh. Two more months.

 

[Shamrock7r]

Wow. That was an extremely powerful trailer. Can't wait to see this.

 

[ChubbyHuggs]

Those are some great posters.

 

[CrunchyFrog]

Sad and true. I'd rather see it happen more often and force these big chains to accept it as the future of streaming. I love going to the theater once in a while but I only make it special occasions due to not having a good independent chain in the area with strong policies against loud people and other annoyances.

You know, it wouldn't surprise me if big chain multiplexes went the way of the dodo and small independents saw a resurgence based around that kind of premium experience and sort of event nights. We've got a single screen theater in Uptown New Orleans called the Prytania that does just that, big with the college crowd, they've even hosted screenings of The Room with Tommy Wiseau present for Q&A (the latest of which I went to and got an autographed football, my most prized possession).

Movie in the OP looks great, while Netflix's licensed library continues to dwindle it's the original content that seems to be keeping it relevant. I could see them branding themselves as a real sort of streaming HBO competitor within a few years, though with HBO Now some might argue they already are.

I completely forgot about this. That trailer was great.

My mind read that bottom image as Child Rebel Soldier. Oh what could've been.
