I don't buy Gosling as Dr Grace.

cant really imagine better casting, considering how the book leans heavily in to humor...
and from the Nice Guys we know he can deliver

Every time I see the movie mentioned it starts with some claiming the read the book and it's great.

OP here
I finished 3 body problem
and was looking to rebound after feeling down
people were saying PHM is good
and to get through it before the movie is out
cuz trailers seem to divert from book
so I did
and see its out this month
and I watched the trailer and it seems to be pretty by the book..

I think it’s going to be fantastic. I haven’t been this hype for a movie in a long time.

>What are our expectations?
It's going to be okay, the book had a bit too much reddit humor for my taste. Also with the way they toned down the science and engineering from The Martian, they'll definitely take interesting stuff out for the movie.

It's the only movie this year I'm interested in. I guess Digger is intriguing but there's 0 info about it and quirk tom chungus could be awful.
>>
It looks pretty good. It's annoying they spoiled Rocky in the trailer, the stuff where they're first discovering eachother in the tunnel is my favorite part of the book.

It's barely a spoiler to be honest, it happens super early in the book. Also it's not a human vs alien monsters so I think it's good they set the proper tone for the film.
>>
>>218311902
it's not that early, it's more than a third of the way through the book and then you don't see him for a good while after that
either way I had no idea there were aliens involved when I started reading it, and I was surprised the story went in that direction. so it's just a little saddening to see that people won't have the same experience.

Wasn’t there already an Adam Sandler movie where he meets a space Spider? Instead of a pile of rocks? Seems much more compelling?

what are they trying to do again?
re-ignite the sun?

IN ENGLISH, DAMN IT!

It happens one quarter in and it takes one chapter to learn they'll cooperate and not be enemies.

>>218311962
I actually wouldn't be surprised if they cut the miscegination part, it's not that relevant to the plot.

>>218310043
Literally written for him.

>>218310015
Well, its got a fag in the elad and it gave away the big reveal in the trailer so I expect it to be faggy and shit

one of ~4 kinos i will def be seeing at the kinoplex this year. 2 are defs and 2 are maybes.

>>218312018
iirc the sun and other nearby stars are dimming but one is not and they send him out to find out why
(i read it when it first came out and maybe I'm remembering things wrong)
>>
A bit quirk chungus but it's fine. Same as the Martian.
>>
It seems like they might be ignoring the entire amnesia plot since they show him not wanting to go on the mission in the trailer whereas that was only revealed at the end of the book

Hopefully they keep Rocky not knowing about relativity in so they can go to Eridani instead of copping out and going back to earth
>>
>>218312884
The amnesia is significant enough, I think they'll keep it. The trailer also reveals the explosion that killed Dubois and the chick, along with a few other spoilers but unless you've read the book you don't know it's a spoiler.

>>218310015
AT&T Milk trucks is in it

>>218310015
Enjoyed the book. Dunno what to expect from the movie, I haven't even seen the trailers. I like my sci-fi thrillers though, and this has some real kino potential.
