Transcendence: The Movie: The Trailer

12/28/2013

My first thought when I saw this trailer from Chris Nolan's cinematographer, Wally Pfister, was "whoa... A movie where Johnny Depp doesn't get weird".

Then he got weird...

It looks pretty good. I'm definitely interested, and will probably avoid reading too much more about it, so I can be nice and surprised when I check it out in the big screen.

It was Spring, 1985 and the one single question on every American's mind was "When will there be another Indiana Jones and what will it be about (yes, we realize that's two questions, not one)?"

That one (two) question(s) was (were) answered with the "Starblazer Special Steven Speilberg's Collector's Edition Indy III: A Projection" magazine. The cover boasts That Indy will fight "The Serpent of Evil", and that it will be "greater than Raiders and Temple". 

Compelling.
