Never knew that the Egyptian gods were a couple of white dudes.

Re: Gods of Egypt (2016, Proyas) S: Butler, Coster-Waldau
Jesus... that is such a gringo outlook of egypt. They didn't even try to brown them up a bit.

Re: Gods of Egypt (2016, Proyas) S: Butler, Coster-Waldau
Judging off all the egyptians I know, they just need a good bronzer.
But then Proyas was born in Egypt, so who knows, but he's Greek which mucks it up. This looks like Clash of the Titans for the Percy Jackson crowd. I keep hoping that Proyas is going to put something else good out. There were hints of his prior talent in Knowing but the overall movie was a bit of a mess. |
Re: Gods of Egypt (2016, Proyas) S: Butler, Coster-Waldau
I'm actually interested just for Butler and Proyas.
|
Re: Gods of Egypt (2016, Proyas) S: Butler, Coster-Waldau
Been damn near 20 years since Proyas directed anything worthwhile. And even that (Dark City) doesn't hold up all that well on a recent viewing.
|
Re: Gods of Egypt (2016, Proyas) S: Butler, Coster-Waldau
The special effects perhaps, but Dark City overall still holds up very well. Too bad it's now looking like the highlight of his career. Well, Dark City and The Crow perhaps.

Re: Gods of Egypt (2016, Proyas) S: Butler, Coster-Waldau
The acting based on the snippets in that trailer, is laughable. This looks ridiculous. Proyas has lost whatever he had.
|
Re: Gods of Egypt (2016, Proyas) S: Butler, Coster-Waldau
This looks laughably bad. If it weren't for Butler I'd think this was some shitty Syfy Channel movie.

They knew sunscreen wasn't going to be invented for a couple centuries so they stayed inside a lot.

Re: Gods of Egypt (2016, Proyas) S: Butler, Coster-Waldau
I'm interested. Looks to be a good fantasy/action/adventure flick. We'll see...

The trailer doesn't have me buzzed. But I have faith that Proyas will deliver some good feelings. I, Robot felt like his dud - even though it had some interesting visuals, and felt like it was on the edge of being epic (like he was held back by the producers maybe). I really liked Knowing, and the chances it took (especially the last five minutes). |

Re: Gods of Egypt (2016, Proyas) S: Butler, Coster-Waldau
The dialogue was never great, but overall, take the atmospheric look as an example. Now look at the trailer in the first post. That's what I miss about his style he gave us in Dark City and The Crow. Even the characters had interesting aspects to them. I don't see anything like this in the last few movies he's done.

I could be wrong. But is it "future Egypt"? That's what it looked like to me. Wouldn't be hard to write in some white dudes.

Re: Gods of Egypt (2016, Proyas) S: Butler, Coster-Waldau
Honestly, I'm one of the few that's looking forward to it. I'm gonna go to the biggest and loudest theater to watch it. Fuck it. I miss Proyas.
As far as my favorite Proyas films go - in order: The Crow Dark City Garage Days I, Robot Knowing Basically in chronological order. |
Re: Gods of Egypt (2016, Proyas) S: Butler, Coster-Waldau
This had a $140m budget? Damn.

Re: Gods of Egypt (2016, Proyas) S: Butler, Coster-Waldau
Scriptwise - this was written by the guys who wrote Dracula Untold and Last Witchhunter.

Re: Gods of Egypt (2016, Proyas) S: Butler, Coster-Waldau
I got my tickets for this. So much for seeing it on a big screen - my location is playing it in the small screens. Oh well.
Seeing it tomorrow night. |
Re: Gods of Egypt (2016, Proyas) S: Butler, Coster-Waldau
I like Proyas... but damn... this looks terrible. I would not pay to see this.
|
Re: Gods of Egypt (2016, Proyas) S: Butler, Coster-Waldau
I keep hoping that studios start making movies based off of mythology, there's so much to go off of. While not what I'm looking for, this one seems like a wild ride, so I'll check it out.
