No sound on my saved file, WTF?

EDIT: I am using a rather old version of QT. Anyone have a link to updates I might need?

this looks amazing
I wonder if the animation is final in some of those scenes or are they going to keep adding stuff in right up till the release date? it looks great already but the concept of the movie allows for some very weird stuff to happen with the animation.

Warner Bros. put the trailer on DVD releases months ago. It's on House of Wax and The Jacket that I know of.

Well, forgive my ignorance, but the trailer seems pretty vague...is this a "Scanners" sequel?

Nope, adaptation of a novel by Philip K. Dick.

Looks alright. I'm kinda tired of that type of animation already though.

Yeah, we were shown this trailer way back in October or so, and I think it was set to hit the internet shortly thereafter, so it's been around for quite some time.

Already? It's only been around for 90+ years.

If the rumors prove true, I should be seeing this movie at 4:00 this afternoon. I saw a panel back in October or so that included the premiere of the trailer as well as a really cool demonstration of how the rotoscoping is done (the guys actually animated a frame of the movie to show us the painstaking process)...and that got me even more excited than I already was.

Anyway, keep an eye on my South by Southwest thread for updates and my thoughts on the movie, if it is in fact what we're shown in today's "TBA" spot.

Please let us know how it is!!! I'm dying to see this bad boy and generally seem to have a similar taste in movies as you from what I read here. The trailer made me really excited about this one.

I updated that thread with a few brief, scatter-brained thoughts about the movie. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

I can't believe Radiohead is doing the score, perfect, absolutely perfect. Other than what IMO feels like a few miscasts, this movie should be near perfect.

Maybe it's because of the rotoscoping, but I thought the casting was perfect. I'll have to see it again once it gets released because the one thing that wasn't finished on our print was the music.

Did I miss something? I thought Radiohead was not doing the score.

Well, Warner Independent is now reporting that A Skanner Darkly is not going to be scored by Radiohead, but will feature their music, and a new song from Thom Yorke's upcomming solo album.

That sucks.

Saw the trailer before "V for Vendetta". It looks cool, but I'm wondering if this movie will be a completely confusing head trip.

Will I need an instruction manual to understand it?

Nope, it wasn't at all difficult to follow.

Still, reading the book can only add to your enjoyment. Before this one I had only read Do Androids Dream...? and wasn't really into it. (I've read it since and it is way more powerful than I remembered. Hey! I was 13 years old.)

Then a friend recommended this one to me a coupla years ago and...well, I'm coming up on having read half of everything he's had published (his Exegis aside ) and this one is still my favorite. It's a close call with some stories, but this one still wins. If they had to pay special attention to getting just one of his books accurate, I am stoked that this turned out to be the one.

I really think it's worth reading the book first. I cannot emphasize that sufficiently.

That trailer definitely has me wanting to see this. And I've never read any of PKD's work, but maybe I'll head up to the local library and see what they have in stock before the release day.

How was the music? Could you tell if they had Radiohead songs in it yet?
