Chronicle

[nyj721]

After watching the trailer as an ad on another youtube video, I'm interested. The trailer is on the link if the video isn't working properly on here.

There are so many tired films about superheroes these days it makes you wonder if a supervillain is running the movie studios. Every so often, however, one film seems to break the mold and make the genre feel fresh again. Could the coming movie “Chronicle” be another game-changer? We sure hope so. Directed by Joshua Trank, it stars Dane DeHaan, Alex Russell, Michael Kelly and Michael B. Jordan, who has been promising on TV shows like “Parenthood” and “Friday Night Lights.” The film, about three high school students who develop special powers, seems to unspool its story faux-documentary “Cloverfield” style, giving a comic book-ish tale a kind of newsy reality. Watch the trailer.

Re: Chronicle

That trailer was all kinds of awesome. Can't wait till the actual movie comes out.

Re: Chronicle

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a release date and it's February 3 2012. Hopefully this thing gets a strong advertising push soon.

Here's the new 60 second teaser that just aired on MTV. I can't embed it for whatever reason.

Re: Chronicle

They have been running commercials for this movie for a LONG time now. If it doesn't do well in the theater I'm going to laugh. Nothing else worthwhile coming out that weekend so it should do well.

Re: Chronicle

Oooowee I can't wait to see this.

Re: Chronicle

This movie trailer looked so kick-***(no, not the movie) I'm pumped to see it.

I was kind of looking forward to this movie in watching the trailers at the theater, but with a small sampling of very good reviews, I plan on definitely seeing it this Friday.

Re: Chronicle

I'm checking this out over the weekend. The trailer plus all the good reviews has me interested.

I also like that it's an original superhero flick.

Re: Chronicle

Good movie-got really dark at the end.

Good box office should see a sequel.

Re: Chronicle

Saw this tonight.

Thought it was a great movie. CGI wasn't the greatest, and the eventual baddie was so extremely annoying.

Either way, I understand who this movie was for and while probably not as good as the reviews say, I thought it was good. Hope they make the sequel.

[The 24th Letter]

This wasn't what I expected, but not in a bad way.

Excellent take on the super power genre. I would have loved at the end, something like:

Spoiler

The camera showing someone fly above Matt, showing there are more people with powers

What do you guys think would be a good idea for a sequel?

Re: Chronicle

Having Matt

Spoiler

become what in effect would be that world's first super hero.

I don't know if they will or if they could abandon the "camera" mode in a possible sequel.
