The last post by Joe sounds promising. Back to 80's style movie violence ...

Someone on IMDB claims to have been at a promo screening:


I've just seen a 6min promo at a cinema in london. I'll lay my cards on the table. I thought the 1995 version was a mess. Some of the lighting and sets were very good but that was about it. I'm not a fan of the comics either.

The new version looked amazing. Huge sets but none of it looked studio bound. Imaging Bladerunner during daylight hours. There seemed to be alot of slow mo and a huge amount of violence. Very graphic violence. I haven't seen a mainstraem film this violent in some time. One scene had a man's head being blown apart in slow mo. This will be an R in the US and easily an 18 in the UK.

Wasn't looking forward to seeing it but am now.

Of course it could be a "plant" with bad spelling. Seems a bit pandering to the cinema "swing voters".

Speechless..sounds like my prayers have been answered

Do film studios really do this sort of thing, though? Wouldn't have thought it would make any difference whatsoever in terms of box office. And would they do it six months ahead of release?

Why would the filmmakers be screening a six-minute clip now? Is this common practice?

If this is true, then I expect we will be hearing more about it shortly.....

Yep. They sometimes do and appear on filmsites, they're easy to spot too.

Could be for any reason, investors or gearing for promotions, exhibitors etc.

An exploding head movie? Everyone loves an exploding head movie. Cor!

I agree with Radiator it seems a bit strange they're air a six minute promo clip now. I'd put it down to the amount of expectation there is surrounding this film... is it gonna be good or like the last one? If it's true then all this curiosity surrounding it bodes well for the film methinks.

Let's hope this insider information is reliable and not just a plant.

Remember 'Scanners' ... that had heads popping all over the show!

Very nice to hear if true. And from a non fan.

Why, what's strange about it? It all depends on who they're showing it to. This stuff goes on all the time.

Whether its a bit of spin from the studio or a genuine post, I don't think it's bullshit - everything in it rings true.

[JOE SOAP]

It wasn't a public screening that's for sure, maybe early press, wait and see.

Everything in it is public domain though, Anderson blowing a creeps head off and the [spoiler]script featuring the "slo-mo" scenes[/spoiler].

If it is a genuine critique then all good
