The director is not Denis Villeneuve, its someone who has never directed a movie before :(
- Ugh! Well, I guess that's the end of that.
Amazon Prime Movie is the new straight-to-video.
- It's a tv miniseries, not a movie.
  
  Most Amazon Prime miniseries are the new straight to the SciFi channel.
is this real?? I cant take it seriously with that googly eye on her forehead.
- Pretty sure that's a shot from "Everything, Everywhere, All at Once".
  
  ok that is better, I thought these were all from the show and I was like.... am I missing something here. Thank you, I was.
- I wouldn't give this a whole lot of hope since this is Amazon. They managed to even make Wheel of Time OK at best.
  
  "Ok at best" is generous...
  
  Okay? OKAY? It was awful! Truly horrendous. What a terrible outcome for such a beloved book series. Their show runner should never be allowed to run anything except commercials after that.
  
  That show was an abortion of television. Robert Jordan is doing barrel rolls in his grave.
- That is likely the most award winning googly eye of all time
Is this another one of those second screen experiences? I can't get excited about these direct to streaming movies no matter how big the names and budget. Damn fools did it to themselves.
- It's a tv miniseries, not a movie.
- Its probably going to be trash anyway. BR2049 was really good. I also didn't know that it was released in tje same year the original blade runner was released. So much artistic talent and care was put into BR2049 and that's clearly not going to be the case here.
  
  Like there were so many hidden things in BR2049. Such as the issues about AI and Joi.
I'm... cautiously optimistic due to Fallout being a good amazon prime show.
Great. Can we get a new cyberpunk IP though?
- INTERGALACTIC: THE HERETIC PROPHET, a new Naughty Dog game in the works looks like it might be Cyberpunk themed. It’s SciFi at least.
- Personally, I think the video game The Ascent is the best new cyberpunk IP to come out in a long time. It's such a fully-realized world I assumed it must've been based on a TTRPG or something but nope, brand new IP.
Didn't they already make this movie with the guy from Breaker High?
- It's a tv miniseries, not a movie.
