Snowpiercer

Surprised this doesn't have it's own thread by now on here. I can't wait for this !.

The film is an upcoming sci-fi thriller named Snow Piercer from director Bong Joon-Ho (The Host).

A group of train passengers learn to co-exist in a new ice age, which is a result of a failed experiment to stop global warming that killed off all life on the planet except for the inhabitants of a train called Snow Piercer. The train travels the globe and is powered by “a sacred perpetual-motion engine.” The conflict in the story comes from a revolution that brews as a result of the class system that forms on the train.


South Korean media giant CJ Entertainment is set to plough $40 million, their biggest investment to date, into the global co-production Snow Piercer, which is having funding issues.

Based on French graphic novel 'Transperceneige' is being directed by Bong Joon-ho (Memories of Murder, The Host, Mother). Produced by Park Chan-wook (Oldboy) and will star Song Kang-ho and Ko Ah-sung in supporting roles.

Currently in production at the famed Barrandov studios in Prague and set for release next year.

From Chris Evans :

“Director Bong has storyboards laid out so that…he has already edited it in his brain. For example, we will shoot the first line on you. We will shoot the second line on me. We will shoot the third line over here and you say, ‘Wait a minute. Don’t you want the whole scene here?’ and he is like. ‘No. Don’t need it.’ He has already committed to an edit. It is brilliant. It is borderline genius.

It’s like building a house and instead of needing a bag of nails, it is like saying, ‘I need 53 nails.’ It is literally committing to a vision ahead of time. The trust that you feel is like, ‘God, this guy is operating on another plane.’ And I completely surrendered to it. You just completely commit to his vision and trust that he knows exactly what he is doing because he does.”

Re: Snow Piercer

Glad I'm not alone !. With the amazing cast and potential this film has I'm suprirsed no one seems to be interested. :monkey1

I dont know if I'd say it was an amazing cast, solid cast perhaps.

Ice Age Premise is interesting, but why a train? I just find it hard to believe that a train, even one somehow created to withstand the severe temperatures would be the last refuge of humanity. Wouldn't the tracks get covered with ice? Wouldn't build up of glaciars cause damage? Just sounds like a flawed idea to have everyone in a train. Would think an underground facility would be much more likely to be able to maintain human life.

Guess we are not supposed to think about this one.
 
Re: Snow Piercer

Damn guys , seriously ?.
A great looking big budget sci-fi film pops up and the first thing is criticizing the logic behind it without even knowing any of the details ?.

I'd personally go as far as to say an amazing cast , John Hurt , Tilda Swinton , Jamie Bell , Song Kangho and Ed Harris in particular , sounds great to me. :hi5:

I can't wait to see how this one develops. :yess:
 
Re: Snow Piercer

^ Didn't you get the memo? The best part of a movie is picking apart every aspect because movies should be REALISTIC. DUH! That's why we go! To see realistic representations of things that WILL happen.
 
Re: Snow Piercer

You guys take things soooooo seriously, any movie plot can be questioned, any new idea for a movie is welcomed, realistic or not :p
 
Re: Snow Piercer

Less realistic please. I want people flying around and shooting lasers out of their mouth for no reason. Just to spite all those nitpicky loons.
 
Re: Snow Piercer

it would have been more fun if this was an over glorified bang bus movie.


with zombies.


kidding.
