EternallDarkness Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Don't know why he changed the name. Was a decent story even if the idea was more than a little out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s cool to see how after he had several huge bombs in a row, he took a step back, focused on smaller projects, and it’s really paid off.

Yeah Im really excited to see him in this. After Blade Runner I’ve been wanting to see him get more opportunities to do stuff like this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read it but after you posted this I just had to go check it out on audible and listen to a sample. from the sample I would say the narrator as a okay voice but the delivery is a bit off. Of course it might change if you speed up the playback. I can't listen to anything at normal speed, I was have listen at 1.2X to 1.4X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the reviews said she sounded like a GPS voice and it was over. That’s all I could hear 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted October 2, 2022 Author Share Posted October 2, 2022 Just finished the book. It’s a quick, nasty read, that seems like a great fit for M. Night at this point in his career. And a meaty role for our boy Bautista. Can’t imagine any other wrestler-turned-actor trying something like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Extremely strange trailer. M. Night has been back to his old self so I'm pretty positive it will be very interesting with cool twists. The trailer just was not that great imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Finished the book today. This is a perfect book to make a movie out of because the thing really craps the bed with the ending but is otherwise pretty entertaining throughout and easy to adapt into a 1:45 run time. Hopefully Night has a better ending in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The premise looks good, may end up waiting on WOM to decide if I go see it in theaters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just flushing money down the toilet 😂 Wheel of Time has great narration ask to get your expired ones returned to you (I ran into the same issue and they gave me all of mine a few years ago) and use those up! Anyhow this movie looks good I will watch it sometime (at home). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I was setting something up at one of the theaters and figured I’d check out the ending to see what Shyamalan changed. It is definitely different and less open to interpretation than the book ending (for the better!), but it also changes some major plot points of the book so I’ll have to watch the whole flick to see if it works.

TheLeon Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share Posted February 3, 2023 I liked it a lot! Even though I had read the book and (mostly) knew what was going to happen, it does a good job of maintaining tension. The whole cast is good, especially Bautista. Really curious to see the wider reaction to this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We liked the film when we saw it in theaters, but I was thinking that the more open-ended nature of the book leads to more conversation about what happened and why. Because when we discussed Spoiler the ending, she felt maybe there was no end of the world happening, and I said something along the lines of, "I mean, if they didn't show us all that stuff getting better on TV at the end, I could see that being a possibility, but I think this was pretty cut and dry." There is something poetic about the two in the book deciding the world wasn't worth saving if the world wouldn't accept them. On the other hand, there is something interesting about their natural fear of a homophobic attack and then realizing that they're just the two who happened to be chosen.

skillzdadirecta Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 I enjoyed this more than I thought I would and it's definitely one of Shyamalan's better recent movies. So in the book, Spoiler they decided to let the world end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
