I agree; it looks way better with all this detail.- cannot wait.

[Mudcrab]

Man, I want to live in O'Neil Block.

Screw you! I'm with Ezquerra block! 

Arsom (Goaty  ) thing from Garland, this thing's in good hands indeed.

The detail is breathtaking they have done a really superb job in my eyes.

I wonder how many idiots are going to think that's what cape town actually looks like..

[JOE SOAP]

You mean it doesn't?

How the Drokk are you posting on here?

Last time I saw you were being hauled into a pat-wagon after the riots?

[Stan]

Well clearly the names are photoshopped but everything else looks kosher.

[DKCX]

Did Alex Garland come across your story here on the forum?

[The Sherman Kid]

Happy for you Blackmocco- Alex Garland is a real gent.Very nice touch with the block names too.

[Beaky Smoochies]

Good one, blackmocco dude, glad for you, and kudos to Alex Garland for one nice gesture, hope you've started thinking about that sequel already Alex, Dark Judges perhaps?

[darnmarr]

I'd like to think that someone told Mr Garland of Blackmocco's plight,-rather than think of him trawling through these threads; that just seems kinda freaky somehow.

Trying to stay off the thread until I see the film, but wow, those new shots are something else! I've said before but so many future cities look so similar, yet this MC1 is so distinctive. I can't think of another film that has a city like this. It's a double triumph because it's oppressive, citizens are packed together in the blocks yet the place looks so lonely. I wonder if the creators were aware they would get name-checked?

I agree on it looking quite unique, also on the lonely feel. It almost looks to me as though the blocks were part of a massive construction project that got curtailed by disaster - nuclear war, I guess - leaving no money or resources to fill in the wasteland/old buildings between them.

I kinda took it as an emergency post-war building project, under heavy construction.
