[AYHJA]

Damn..!!!!

I'm not missing that for shit, sorry...I don't care what reviewers think....Nice find man..! Why the hell are they keeping this shit under wraps..?

[Deepak]

God damn man that looks like a bloody awesome movie. This is the first time I have ever heard of this. Looks pretty mint

[Sir Jig-A-Lot]

I finally got around to watching all the available trailers for the first time today as well us looked up info on the film from a few movie & news sites. Not liking what I've read about so far. Apparently they've canceled the world premiere in Sydney due to them having to do last minute re-shoots & completely change the ending (the same exact story happened for the mess that was I Am Legend) & to also take out the "Amnesiac God" aspect of the story (One exec behind the scenes saying "American moviegoers as a whole wouldn't respond well to a Black Man being referred to as a god even if it was Will Smith"). There also has been a leaked memo by Sony/Columbia execs circulating around the web that tells editors to downplay the interracial romance of the movie in all the trailers & tv spots.

Fuck that! I ain't giving those racist corporate fuckers a single cent after reading that shit. i'll bootleg their damn piece of shit movie just so i can laugh at 'em. Unless I hear differently, this just looks like the Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air with superpowers & an alcohol problem. I'm done wanting to see this before any anticipation ever began.

They better not screw this up.

I am not liking what i read jigg

[AYHJA]

Who are these Hollywood execs, and what the fuck have they been watching...? A black man being God is totally incomprehensible, even though its a known fact the origin of life is from what is now called 'Africa'..? Morgan Freeman, to my knowledge, has played God twice and the President at least once...What country are they fucking living in..? What decade..? Can't be this one man...Did they even notice a black dude won the democratic nomination for the demi-god position of US President..? And why on God's green are they downplaying interractial relationships..? That shit was soooo, 1960's...Half the NBA and NFL boas interracial relationships...Shit, we're even so far past that, we're on our way past same sex marriage...Damn, the fuck are they smoking..? And truth be told, if there was ever a Super Hero whino, a white girl...Shit, any girl besides a sister would be putting up with that behavior...That's realism...

Like you raum, they better not fuck this up...I sense a riot...

Although, I did have only a small beef with legend, which was the end...But it became a significantly bigger beef when I saw the alternate ending...

Yeah most of that shit sounds pretty ridiculous. This movie looks good, still don't really know what his story is or if he has a big bad to fight but I think a god would be a cool origin. You mean god like Thor not God God right? I really don't want this to become religious, if he were an amnesiac angel that would be coolio, although that could get religious too. Whatever Big Willy is cool and he usually makes stuff work even if the movie sucks. I think you mighta heard some hater bullshit Jig, I don't think those are big deal issues here anymore.

[Sir Jig-A-Lot]

It ain't some hater shit,Darkie. Tis not the first time Fony/ColumbiASS have been busted for some shiesty corporate shit. Do any of y'all remember the "David Manning" scandal from a few years back when they invented a "respected film critic" to give dazzling reviews of all their movies while bagging out the competitors product? If not, check it HERE & Fony paying theater chains to run trailers for wack movies in front of screenings of hit ones HERE
btw DL1, the god thing was meant as in god with a lowercase g like Thor & Odin.

Ja, Mogan Freeman played God in an obvious non-threatening comedy film franchise. Why would they downplay the interracial thing? simple: to increase ticket sales. Most of the big studios' domestic box orifice is still generated by their main target demographic: the Heartland of ameriKKKa (which includes the Bible Belt).it's a better business decision for them not to offend Middle America's sensibilities. Didja notice in teh Hancock trailers, there are no references to the god storyline at all?. Let's be honest here, in the US of A , successful black athletes & entertainers are beyond reproach (as they are seen as being more than black)...until they do the tiniest thing wrong.. then the mainstream press & politicians pounce. Hard. Speaking on politicians, did you know Obama has asked Smith to play him if a film of his life is ever made? Will has agreed.

I still won't be checkin' for Handjo...I mean Hancock though. :silly:

[Bastard Brigade]

I'd have to say this one's best left to dvd for me. Love Will in more dramatic roles like Ali and The Pursuit of Happyness. He seems to be playing the same type of guy he played in I, Robot. Don't know anything about all the racist studio rumors, but if they're true, that's seriously fucked up. :x

[puppydog]

i was just thinking this is another hero movie, i didn't realize how much controversy this is receiving.

i didn't even hear about the alternate ending in i am legend but i'll be sure to check it out on youtube.
