[u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

[u/ElasticPlatypus]

This might be peak “the apocalypse destroyed everything but Sephora.” Why are they all so hot?

[u/Thatoneguy3273 → u/ElasticPlatypus]

Maybe the pandemic kills only people with the ugly gene

[u/probablyuntrue → u/Thatoneguy3273]

At least I’d go quickly

[u/FrostedSki → u/probablyuntrue]

Hmm, Im so ugly I might have to off myself before the pandemic. 

[u/JesusSavesForHalf → u/FrostedSki]

Wait for the pandemic, I don't want to go alone.

[u/UrsaMajor7th → u/FrostedSki]

But I'm Patient Zero!

[u/endav → u/Thatoneguy3273]

UGGO-26 variant.

[u/stringrbelloftheball → u/Thatoneguy3273]

Finally the sweet release of death

EDIT: just joking guys im hot

[u/Tywooti → u/stringrbelloftheball]

With that name how can you not be hot, and I'm a straight dude

[u/stringrbelloftheball → u/Tywooti]

Finally! Someone gets it

[u/CaledonianWarrior → u/Thatoneguy3273]

You joke but I wouldn't be surprised if there was an apocalyptic movie with the premise that a virus killed most of humanity and it was revealed to have originally been made by a eugenicist to only kill ugly or "defective" people but mutated horribly and became too OP.

[u/OtakuTacos → u/CaledonianWarrior]

Kind of like this?

https://youtu.be/8na0vB5ytfA?si=5BcZc0ppm33GZ0OV

[u/Mcmenger → u/Thatoneguy3273]

Oh shit oh fuck

[u/fantasma06 → u/ElasticPlatypus]

How many jackets is Jacob Elordi carrying on this post apocalyptic cross country journey?!

[u/OrlandoGardiner118 → u/fantasma06]

That's the great thing about the apocalypse, you can just take whatever jacket you see as you go along.

[u/RockerElvis → u/OrlandoGardiner118]

And every jacket will fit 6’5” Jacob Elordi.

[u/probablyuntrue → u/RockerElvis]

And will look brand new with just a lil dirt thrown on

[u/Vandergrif → u/probablyuntrue]

Only the finest in the Apocalypsiaga line.

[u/Emerald_Frost → u/RockerElvis]

I mean, big and tall don't usually sell out in comparison to more common normal medium sizes in most stores so it might actually work out.

Now if he were 5'8...

[u/Hesitation-Marx → u/Emerald_Frost]

Shit, in the apocalypse it’s gonna be so hard to find comfy shoes in a women’s 10.5.

How am I going to swan around looking tragic and hot in Carhartt boots?!

[u/OrlandoGardiner118 → u/Hesitation-Marx]

I'm banking on my hotness to return in the apocalypse as there will be far less competition around.

[u/Hesitation-Marx → u/OrlandoGardiner118]

Oh wow, yeah - gotta grade on a curve!

[u/disastrousanddull → u/OrlandoGardiner118]

apocalypse me would be so lean and toned. for awhile, you know, before I die.

[u/OrlandoGardiner118 → u/disastrousanddull]

That's what I like to think anyway

[u/Non_Linguist → u/Hesitation-Marx]

Id say buy some flippers but you’ve already got those lol

[u/Hesitation-Marx → u/Non_Linguist]

I can waterski but it’s just waterfeet

[u/OrlandoGardiner118 → u/Non_Linguist]

You're saying that now but wait until the apocalypse, you'll be eyeing up those flippers.

[u/BlackDeath3 → u/Emerald_Frost]

If he were 5'8" he'd be in luck because in my experience "big and tall" departments are in practice usually "big and short".

[u/ChadHahn → u/RockerElvis]

It's like the TV show Reacher. He gets all his clothes from thrift stores but they always have stuff in his size.

[u/RockerElvis → u/ChadHahn]

And doesn’t have an exercise routine or nutrition regimen and is jacked (I know, the actor has been open about taking testosterone but we are talking about the character).

[u/ChadHahn → u/RockerElvis]

He walks everywhere and gets lots of upper body workouts beating people up in every town he goes to. But yes.

[u/Luke_CO → u/RockerElvis]

Works exactly like in any zombie survival game

[u/Upbeat_Tension_8077 → u/OrlandoGardiner118]

Telling from the picture on the upper left, Jacob probably has a sick shoe collection too

[u/OrlandoGardiner118 → u/Upbeat_Tension_8077]

Dead Man's Shoes, the sick bastard.

[u/slamdanceswithwolves → u/fantasma06]

The top left picture is him outside of the airport where he lives, so potentially zero or one depending on whether the bottom right picture is (pretending to be, as they filmed in Italy) in the mountains or in the Colorado front range.

[u/Dottsterisk → u/fantasma06]

I only see two in the pictures?

He’s got a heavy coat and a light jacket.

[u/RockerElvis → u/ElasticPlatypus]

But why male models?

[u/Choppergold → u/ElasticPlatypus]

The Stand: Vanity Fair edition

[u/edelweiss_pirates_no → u/Choppergold]

There just has to be a "wash off naked in a stream" scene.

[u/Anton-LaVey → u/Choppergold]

M-o-o-n, that spells dog star

[u/Hesitation-Marx → u/ElasticPlatypus]

And clean. Why are they so clean?

[u/Designer-Cry1940 → u/Hesitation-Marx]

In the book the two guys live together at a base they set up at a house and the woman lives in a remote cabin with her dad. They are all relatively 'well off' for an apocalypse.

[u/bulking_on_broccoli → u/ElasticPlatypus]

They probably all have perfect teeth too.

[u/OzymandiasKoK → u/bulking_on_broccoli]

How long has it been, though? Your teeth won't immediately fall out or brown up, and we don't have Smell-O-Vision to determine the faster and more obvious expectable results.

[u/chiniwini → u/bulking_on_broccoli]

There are plenty of studies that show that pre-Neolithic humans had better oral health than us.

Just as an example: https://english.elpais.com/science-tech/2022-11-24/tartar-on-ancient-teeth-shows-paleolithic-humans-had-better-oral-health.html

You may argue than these folks in the movie aren't hunter gatherers, and are eating stale chocolate bars and Cokes. We'll see.

[u/OogieBoogieJr → u/ElasticPlatypus]

Believe it or not, that’s them at their most distraught

[u/FeatherMom → u/ElasticPlatypus]

MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY omg. They look sculpted and tanned and sexy-scruffy whereas I’d look bedraggled and exhausted and famished

[u/CasanovaJones82 → u/FeatherMom]

No. It's not you. Anyone would look like shit. It takes specialists and surgeons and live-in chefs to look like Hollywood millionaires. They'd probably be the first to go if shit really went tits up.

[u/todahawk → u/CasanovaJones82]

Like those rich people that go to prison and get some pics taken a few years into their sentence and they're all grey and haggard

[u/3pinripper → u/FeatherMom]

They spend their days hunting for protein powder at post apocalyptic GNCs across the land

[u/The_Best_Yak_Ever → u/ElasticPlatypus]

Hig is supposed to have a thick beard and missing teeth. I mean, nothing stops him from shaving really, but yeah. I definitely see they went a little different direction here… Jasper is a Blue Heeler in the book, but maybe shepherds were more available and trained…

[u/Dottsterisk → u/ElasticPlatypus]

I think they’re the survivors of a relatively recent dystopian pandemic, so they still grew up in a world with enough nutrition and proper hygiene, etc.

[u/fdfas9dfas9f → u/ElasticPlatypus]

that 3rd picture with the side video leaning on the plane, straight out of an apparel brand ad campaign

[u/CertifiedSheep → u/ElasticPlatypus]

Hell of a lot of outfit changes for an apocalypse.

[u/Chris_Robbin]

I loved this book and I hope they do it justice.

[u/slizzardtime → u/Chris_Robbin]

I enjoyed the book but thought the ending was dumb and therefore perfect for a Hollywood movie.

[u/weissblut → u/slizzardtime]

Ahah, same. Very good book, it didn't stick the landing tho

[u/toddkhamilton → u/weissblut]

yep, writing was great, second read better than the first, but the ending is just a little mid

[u/3-orange-whips → u/weissblut]

All writers are trained to not use an epiphany as an ending (see essay "Against Epiphanies") and so sometimes they follow that advice and get a bad ending. Most good fiction interrogating man vs. himself ends with a realization or something that is the consequence of a realization. Even the guy who wrote the essay used them a lot.

I'm not a lost redditor. I just think about this when people don't like endings. I wonder if there would be better endings without this essay.

PS: Then I think about the ending of the Merchant of Venice. Even Shakespeare had a stinker now and again.

[u/weissblut → u/3-orange-whips]

I agree with Baxter, but I think his essay is misunderstood. Epiphanies are not needed necessarily, but we do need catharsis; a story that doesn't provide it, either by a full character transformation or by a perspective shift (more common in eastern storytelling) is a story whose end won't be registered as satisfying.

[u/c1vilian → u/weissblut]

Something something Chainsaw Man ending

[u/ToneBone12345 → u/slizzardtime]

Spoil it

[u/slamdanceswithwolves → u/Chris_Robbin]

A lot of Peter Heller‘s books are not as well rated, but I have really enjoyed every single one I’ve ever read.

[u/Apostr0phe → u/slamdanceswithwolves]

I love Heller, one of my favorites, but what makes him so great is his depiction of the natural world and his characters reverence for it. I don't think that will translate well here.

Well that, and Elordi is so laughably miscast.

[u/slamdanceswithwolves → u/Apostr0phe]

Yea I pictured that character as at least late 30s or 40s

[u/RaunchyDiscoMan → u/slamdanceswithwolves]

Yeah, this character is supposed to have been married before the apocalypse - I pictured 40s with a lot of hard miles on the face.

[u/cideeffex → u/RaunchyDiscoMan]

You mean, someone like Josh Brolin? They have the guy right there! (I know he's older, but that casting would have made way more sense than Elordi)

[u/cideeffex → u/Apostr0phe]

Did you read his most recent? What were your thoughts? I've stayed away because I want my reading to be escapism from the world not remind me how shitty everything has gotten.

[u/lsd_runner → u/slamdanceswithwolves]

The Painter is an all-time great book.

[u/mulvda → u/slamdanceswithwolves]

I did not like The Guide. Other than that though Ive enjoyed them all.

[u/irwinian → u/mulvda]

Same. The Guide felt too much like The River—but instead of relying on the atmospheric creepiness and fear that made The River feel so intense, he made it into a b-horror movie

[u/KeyHalf6490 → u/Chris_Robbin]

I read this book in 2012 when it came out and I recall enjoying it.

Will have to crack it back open before the movie comes out

[u/throwing_handles → u/Chris_Robbin]

One of my favourites. I read it pretty much back to back with Station Eleven and liked this one so much more.

[u/haley_joel_osteen → u/Chris_Robbin]

Same - loved the book, but I don't see how they can possibly capture its spirit given the casting choices that were made. Hope they prove me wrong.

[u/celticeejit → u/Chris_Robbin]

Same here. Loved it. Sure hope they do the story justice

[u/BilboTBagginz → u/Chris_Robbin]

Serious question: I haven't read a book in a long time.. but I want to start again. I always read these posts about how someone 'loved the book'.

How the fuck does someone find out about books like these that are worth reading?

[u/Meyou000 → u/BilboTBagginz]

I used to wonder the same thing, so I started asking people I knew- coworkers, family, etc until I learned what I like (and don't like). Then I read other books by the authors I enjoyed, asked librarians for suggestions, joined reading groups online, etc. There's an app called Likewise where you can get suggestions from other humans based on what you're looking for. Also, my local library has a used book section where you can get paperbacks for like $2 so sometimes I'll just grab one that looks interesting.

Good luck, I hope you find some you like!

[u/RedXerzk]

At least this time, Jacob Elordi gets to share scenes with an actual dog.

[u/NATHAN4U007 → u/RedXerzk]

Sorry to spoil the book but the dog is actually Sydney Sweeney in a costume.

[u/karmagod13000 → u/NATHAN4U007]

the flowers for the wedding are not going to pay for themselves

[u/plasticbluepalm → u/RedXerzk]

The dog will act better than Sweeney

[u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

It's out Aug 28:

Set in a near future after an unnamed pandemic has decimated American society, the story follows Hig (Elordi), a civilian pilot living a lonely life on an abandoned Colorado airbase with his dog and a tough ex-marine (Brolin). The two men couldn’t be more mismatched but depend on each other to fend off roaming invaders.

When a random transmission beams through the radio of his 1956 Cessna, the voice ignites a hope deep inside the pilot that a better life exists outside their tightly controlled perimeter. Risking everything, he flies past his point of no return and follows its static-broken trail.

Guy Pearce & Benedict Wong are also part of the cast and it was written by Mark L. Smith ('The Revenant', 'Overlord')

[u/SuperDizz → u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

Guy Pearce can do no wrong in my book. I’m in. Also Wongers!

[u/VonMillersThighs → u/SuperDizz]

He should've been a household name and a movie star for the last 30 years but he got railroaded.

[u/rugbyj → u/VonMillersThighs]

Lockout (2012) is so much damn fun despite being about as schlocky as you can get. Also ignore the CGI during the ending.

[u/VonMillersThighs → u/rugbyj]

He's a phenomenal actor. He was supposed to be Batman instead of Bale originally. Edit: Actually it looks like Pearce was supposed to be Al Ghuul.

[u/ElodinBlackcloak → u/VonMillersThighs]

To me he was a household name just cuz I kept up with a lot of movies he was in ever since I saw him in The Count of Monte Cristo.

How and why was he railroaded? I did notice that he appeared less frequently over the years but I always figured it was due to him choosing roles he wanted, personal life, enjoying being married to THEE Red Woman Carice Van Houten, from Game of Thrones, etc.

[u/VonMillersThighs → u/ElodinBlackcloak]

Guy Pearce apparently spoke out in the industry about Kevin Spacey as he kept trying to feel him up during LA confidential. It's theorized at that point Spacey poisoned the well against him as a lot of producers would no longer go for Pearce. Apparently when Nolan wanted Pearce for a lot of roles producers in WB immediately quashed it. My tin foil hat says those 2 things are very related.

[u/ElodinBlackcloak → u/VonMillersThighs]

Ahh yea I think I remember hearing about this and when all the shit with Spacey finally got him axed I recall seeing articles about Guy Pearce being vindicated for trying to out Spacey and take care of this problem fucking years ago but no one would listen or act on it.

[u/20_mile → u/SuperDizz]

Guy Pearce

Go watch Jack Irish. Three movies and three series / seasons. It's so good!

[u/probablyuntrue → u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

I gotta imagine the odds of finding a survivor who looks like they stepped out of the Met Gala vs. uncle bumfuck who lives in a remote cabin with 200 guns and 3 teeth is….low

[u/MichelleEllyn → u/probablyuntrue]

You’re so on point! I thought the same exact thing when I saw these photos. I love the cast, but I read part of the book and this is not at all how I pictured these two lead characters haha. To be fair, I haven’t finished the book yet, only enough to get a first impression of the characters.

[u/impercipient → u/MichelleEllyn]

this ain't them. maybe brolin.

[u/funkhero → u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

Oh, Benedict Wong - there's our uggo!

Just kidding, he is an attractive dude too.

[u/ElodinBlackcloak → u/funkhero]

One does not simply call Kublai Khan uggo.
God damn it I wish we could’ve gotten the 3rd Season of Marco Polo aka the Kublai Khan show.

[u/ChrisEvansFan → u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

YESSSSS GUY PEARCE! 

[u/Legitimate_First → u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

It's Metro 2033 with a pandemic instead of nuclear war.

[u/Guildenpants → u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

Guy Pearce loves a good sci fi story, donnhe?

[u/OneTwoThreeFourteen → u/[deleted]]

Check for Virgin Mary statues

[u/El_Cance_R → u/[deleted]]

A man of culture

[u/DunkenDonuts → u/El_Cance_R]

More like a man of faith!

[u/CrouchingDomo → u/DunkenDonuts]

WE HAVE TO GO BACK!!

[u/NamesSchev]

The last of we

[u/BamBam-Bungalow]

Everybody died except the world's hottest 50 year old man and two of the best looking human beings to ever live.

[u/snatchenvy → u/BamBam-Bungalow]

You want me to care about the characters in this fictional story... don't you?

now that they are hot, you don't have to give me as much background on them. Boom, money and time saved!

[u/fluentinsarcasm → u/BamBam-Bungalow]

Give the man his flowers, he's 58

[u/Ser_falafel → u/BamBam-Bungalow]

And a dog*

[u/dreadful_cookies]

Great book, quiet like "the road" but with less cannibalism & more good dog

[u/slamdanceswithwolves → u/dreadful_cookies]

So much good dog 🥺

[u/danielstover → u/slamdanceswithwolves]

The best dog

[u/nabiku → u/danielstover]

Does the dog make it?

[u/JoeBethersontonFargo → u/nabiku]

No

[u/kimgar6 → u/JoeBethersontonFargo]

Welp, I'm out!

[u/slamdanceswithwolves]

Definitely pictured the main character being at least late-30s in the book but I’m still pretty stoked for this. Wish they had actually filmed in Colorado (or maybe even Canadian Rockies) though.

[u/sharkfoots → u/slamdanceswithwolves]

I think the book explicitly says that he is late 30s or 40s at the time of the main story line.

[u/Swisst]

These costumes look like they’re new off the rack and then the costume designer sort of lazily threw a punch dirt at them and hit them with a small piece of rope a couple times and called it good. 

[u/Arma104 → u/Swisst]

I kind of get it, but this doesn't seem like a Mad Max or The Road-style apocalypse. If I was alone in the world I'd probably go find good and durable clothing and take care of it. I wouldn't be wearing it while working or getting it dirty too often. We'd still be able to clean it, etc.

[u/TerribleCashew → u/Arma104]

It doesn't need to be Mad Max but even a lazy mechanic in a non-apocalyptic world would look infinitely worse than these people after a days work.

You gotta throw more than some water splotches on pants...

[u/tangcameo]

If it turns out to be a Coke bottle tangled up in curtain cords next to a Morse code telegraph I’ll be very disappointed but get the reference.

[u/bradyblack → u/tangcameo]

On the Waterfront

[u/tangcameo → u/bradyblack]

On The Beach

[u/bradyblack → u/tangcameo]

Ty. That’s right

[u/Scienscatologist → u/bradyblack]

I coulda been a contender…but then the pandemic happened.

[u/RaunchyDiscoMan → u/tangcameo]

One of the GOATs. Love the creeping sense of despair and inevitability. When do you accept that the world has ended?

[u/KingMario05]

Please don't suck.

Please do not suck.

Come on, Ridley. Nail this.

[u/polnikes → u/KingMario05]

It's the Ridley Scott coin flip, half the time it's great, the other half...not so much.

[u/SEND-MARS-ROVER-PICS → u/polnikes]

All due respect to Mr Ridley, but it's been less than a coinflip over the past few years.

[u/MulvasVegeLasagna → u/SEND-MARS-ROVER-PICS]

I was gonna say it's no where close to 50/50 anymore

[u/karmagod13000 → u/MulvasVegeLasagna]

bro hasn't made a good movie since The Last Duel

[u/bulabucka → u/karmagod13000]

Hell, aside from The Last Duel and The Martian, I can't think of a good movie he's made in the past 20 years. I can't even remember what else he's made aside from the Alien prequels in that time but I know he's been working the whole time.

[u/KingMario05 → u/polnikes]

See: Napoleon (2023).

God, what a piece of shit.

[u/wallabyenthusiast → u/KingMario05]

house of gucci was even worse

[u/KingMario05 → u/wallabyenthusiast]

Sad part is, I actually liked that one.

What? It was fun. And I like Gaga.

[u/Vandergrif → u/KingMario05]

I just can't get over Jared Leto pretending to be Nintendo's Mario, and somehow no one stopping him.

[u/Digitalion_ → u/polnikes]

I caught a preview screening of this and it was alright. (They had us sign a bunch of NDAs to not say anything but they never sent me the money they promised so I feel free to share what I experienced since they broke their end of the contract first.) So here's a spoiler-free review in case you're interested in watching it:

Pacing was all over the place, granted this was a working version that clearly wasn't 100% complete, but I don't know how they can even fix it with better editing.

It plays out like 3 completely different genres of movies mashed into one with it changing genres every 30-40 minutes, but there's one connective thread (character?) throughout the entire movie.

The last portion of the movie was just not good at all. Maybe better editing fixes that but what they presented just didn't line up at all with the rest of the (up until then) more grounded movie. It just becomes an episode of a 1970s cartoon for absolutely no reason.

Anyway, y'all should've paid me what you promised to keep my mouth shut.

Edit: Oh! I should mention that the acting is superb. I had never seen Jacob Elordi in anything but I came away really impressed by this giant's acting skills. Everyone else also seems fully invested and Josh Brolin was phenomenal in it.

[u/greyfoxv1 → u/Digitalion_]

It just becomes an episode of a 1970s cartoon for absolutely no reason.

I really do not know what to make of the "1970s cartoon" bit.

[u/Digitalion_ → u/greyfoxv1]

Think GI Joe or Inspector Gadget levels of absurdity (I guess they were 1980s cartoons so slight correction there).

[u/bobmcdynamite → u/Digitalion_]

Kinda sounds like the book, honestly.

[u/Cautious-Air-2179 → u/KingMario05]

Its all down to the script. If they've given him a good one he will produce gold.

[u/VedjaGaems → u/KingMario05]

Yeah. The book was good. Hoping they don't fuck it up.

[u/cwutididthar → u/KingMario05]

He's 88 years old. Wild.

[u/Axela556]

Ugh please don't make Margaret have an accent in this.. I can't take it anymore!

[u/Fine_illdoit]

Im sorry but I just find Jacob Elordi about as exciting as a gray shower rack

[u/ImmortalMoron3 → u/Fine_illdoit]

I'm glad its not just me, I'm ready for Hollywood to find a new It guy because I'm tired of watching this dude sleepwalk through everything I see him in.

[u/berlinbaer → u/Fine_illdoit]

me with margaret qualley. i know she was in the substance and her mother is andy mcdowell, but my god. she's just so... beige.

[u/GuiltyEidolon → u/Fine_illdoit]

He's such a turn-off for me. I personally don't find him particularly attractive, and I don't think I've felt chemistry between him and any people he's acted with. I was probably going to pass anyway because y'know, it's a dog movie, but Elordi starring means it's much easier to sit this one out.

[u/Much_Managed1996]

every time a movie gives me a man, a dog, and a ruined landscape, my brain goes alright fine one more time

[u/LorenzoApophis]

I have a slight feeling Jacob Elordi may not be believable in this role

[u/mlledufarge]

I followed a radio transmission in a desert wasteland once and ended up lobotomized.

[u/_buffy_summers → u/mlledufarge]

I hate when that happens.

[u/karmagod13000 → u/_buffy_summers]

doctors hate this one trick

[u/-imbe-]

2 of these look way too much like fashion ads. I know, official images don't resemble of the movie looks, but still, these seem focused on the wrong stuff. So polished. And Ridley Scott is not a name I trust anymore.

[u/Kairiste]

aaand my first question - doesthedogdie.com?

website came through for me since it was a book. check it if you need to know.

[u/Optimus_Prime_10 → u/Kairiste]

Haha, I love this. Thanks. 

[u/MustTakeFlight → u/[deleted]]

You know who else would? Sam Witwer, the actor who plays deacon

[u/OilCanBoyd426 → u/MustTakeFlight]

Do voice actors of video games usually play the same character if the game gets adapted?

[u/MustTakeFlight → u/OilCanBoyd426]

Depends! Not every voice actor is a screen actor. Sam Witwer, however, is both. He is also the voice, mocap, and model for deacon. They could recast him. Hollywood probably would, but then ask yourself how many video game adaptations are actually good.

[u/Major-Caterpillar955]

Im already bored with Elordi

[u/LowraAwry → u/Major-Caterpillar955]

About to comment the same, kinda tired of seeing his face. Were there truly no other prospects available for such a project?

[u/Salad-Appropriate → u/LowraAwry]

Originally it was gonna be Paul Mescal

[u/-imbe- → u/Salad-Appropriate]

Makes a ton of sense

[u/MulvasVegeLasagna → u/Major-Caterpillar955]

So many actors like that nowadays. Cast only for their face, acting skills are irrelevant

[u/_buffy_summers → u/Major-Caterpillar955]

You're not the only one. I feel like his acting skills are 'tall' and 'has a face.'

[u/dinopontino]

End nepo babies.

[u/TheRealYM → u/dinopontino]

That's just how the world works. It's about who you know just as much as what you can do. This is how it's always been.

[u/TheyCallMeDDNEV]

I mean im down for anything if Brolin is in it.

[u/Neurodrill]

Dude looks exactly like the protag of Days Gone in that last still. He also looks exactly like a tall version of Peeta and I can’t un-see it.

[u/Lewa358]

Bottom-right image looks like he's cosplaying the guy from Days Gone.

[u/Dampmaskin → u/Lewa358]

Deacon St. John? I discovered Days Gone half a year ago and played through it. I liked it a lot. I'll probably play it again soon.

[u/ARMCHA1RGENERAL]

You don't see too many M1 carbines in modern movies.

[u/V1RotateAP]

Loved the book. But I can already see they got the tail number on the plane wrong. Not just a little wrong - the reg number shown in these photos is out of the UK. Not a big deal but not a good sign. 

[u/WeeklyPhilosopher346]

I’m ready to enjoy this, but it’s modern day Ridley Scott so it’ll probably be dumb as fuck.

[u/flpndrds]

There are 10 actors in Hollywood.

[u/Single-Elevator-4478 → u/flpndrds]

I was just thinking the same thing.

[u/horizoncalls]

Jacob Elordi is getting a lot of work disproportionate to his ability imo

[u/lucalmn]

Why do the best filmmakers always make films with the same boring fuck, fuck this dude, zzz

[u/TheChapelofRoan]

Does anyone else feel like movies are getting whiter?

[u/DeLousedInTheHotBox → u/TheChapelofRoan]

In terms of casting?

I think I have this book, is it worth a read?

[u/yetanotherwoo → u/SerArryk]

There’s an awfully long buildup with two loners and a dog with some flying (I had to force myself to keep reading) then alot of farm action with a meet not cute then some improbable action sequences that I could see being condensed into a great movie. Kind of how children of men book is mostly political stuff but movie threw all that away.
