Anybody have a chance to see Moon? Has it come and gone already? Looks like a really interesting flick.

If it weren't James Cameron, director of, among many others, Terminator 2, I'd be more worried. I think we all just subconsciously fear George Lucas and his Star Trek prequels.

It does look interesting. I went to the website at the end of the trailer and it is out now but in a very limited release - currently showing in about 40 some theatres around the US, coming to another 20 on Friday (August 21) and yet another 30 or so over the next several weeks. It is an indie film done on a 5 million dollar budget - they really got their money's worth on the special effects. They looked pretty good.

Well, about avatar, the apple trailers aren't working but the one on youtube was great.

I'm just sad that Rendevous with Rama won't be made into a film. One of my favorite books from my favorite authour.

Avatar looks like it'll just be another boring "humans ruin everything!" movie with some admittedly cool visuals ripped from Halo.
That's what I liked about District 9. It wasn't just "humans ruin everything!" - there was more nuance and less space marines ruining things.
I want an unapologetic space-marines-ruin-things movie (that isn't an adaptation of starship trooper).

Lemur, that's a bummer about the Ender's Game movie. I thought it was moving along nicely to theatres. I missed the bit about Wolfgang Petersen being dropped as director, but I have to agree with Card about wanting the movie adaptaion being "right".
Same deal with Rendezvous with Rama - I missed the scrapping of the movie news. Double bummer.![]()

I read somewhere that in February 09 there's been a new script from OSC and production is 'moving forward'. So there may be hope yet.
I gotta respect Card for wanting a good movie or no movie at all.
As for Avatar, I've read from some people who saw a 15 minute preview of the movie and say the trailer doesn't do it justice. Hopefully it isn't a videogamey 'humans are the evil!'
