Re: SEEKING A FRIEND FOR THE END OF THE WORLD (2012) (dir. Scafaria) (Carell, Knightl

There certainly can be.

This particular thing has been confirmed by reports from test screenings, though.
I suppose they could have changed it afterwards, but that really would surprise me.

Re: SEEKING A FRIEND FOR THE END OF THE WORLD (2012) (dir. Scafaria) (Carell, Knightl

But most of the plot points of "Seeking a Friend..." are not touched upon at all in the trailer. You only really get the basic premise. Which, to be fair, it does share with other end-of-the-world...

The concept of an apocalyptic film wasn't exactly invented by Last Night.


Whereas the producers of Last Night are all registered charities.

Having read the script I can inform you that the above clever predictions are completely wrong.

re: Never Let Me Go (2010, Romanek) S: Knightley, Mulligan, Garfield

So you'd say it's a love story rather than an action movie or a thriller?
I suppose that's quite a subjective question, but it's certainly not the category I'd use for it.

re: Never Let Me Go (2010, Romanek) S: Knightley, Mulligan, Garfield

So except for the plot it's the same plot? ;)

The makers of Clonus sued Dreamworks because of what they perceived to be similarities between the two.
Here's a list of those similarities (from...

re: Never Let Me Go (2010, Romanek) S: Knightley, Mulligan, Garfield

No shit.
Yes, the movie could in theory be about a bunch of kangaroos trying to build a spaceship. We won't really know for sure until we see it - or hear from someone who has. Or maybe someone...

re: Never Let Me Go (2010, Romanek) S: Knightley, Mulligan, Garfield

No. They never are. But nothing in that brief Variety story indicates changes to the plot. It doesn't describe the plot at all, in fact. There's just a one sentence description of the basic premise....

You can't really be this thick, surely? You must be doing this because you somehow find it amusing?!

Linking to six versions of the exact same story doesn't strengthen your argument. It takes at...

So you've read the script?
No? Then surely the book is the best guide we have to what the plot of the movie will be.

re: Never Let Me Go (2010, Romanek) S: Knightley, Mulligan, Garfield

To some extent they share a premise.
But plot? No, not at all. This is not even remotely similar to the similarities which prompted the threat of lawsuit against The Island.

It's not a game. Surely there is a big difference between trying to retell a story faithfully and deliberately altering it in very radical ways.
And the TV adaptations are by definition not films....
