I think complaining about these edits now before it's even a final product is putting the cart before the horse. When you really consider the fact that they only finished filming in September and then had a 5 minute prologue to put out only 3 months later - that's a pretty tight timing jam, IMO. I'm gonna cut them some slack for any little editing hiccups (for now)
Good point

I seriously hope it's the prologue. I very much like the idea that the audience will be violently thrown into the movie and don't know what the heck is this messy situation. That's neat (lol) and artistic imo.

That's too.

Nolan has been criticised a lot for being cold. Personally I think he just portrays emotions very subtly and it suits his characters.

In Interstellar, his characters are more, idk, ordinary? and the emotions are put on the fore front (it has less action and revenge than other films) and suddenly people find it cheesy. I remember thinking the love reasoning in Interstellar was very logical on the first screening. I feel like I understand where it comes from and like it.

I don't think it's a random scene from the middle of the movie. Mark Rylance said the script starts with a bang right in the middle of a desperate situation. Seems like an accurate description of the footage we just saw.

Dynamo wrote:Hi all. Firstly, I understand that since this is a brand new account, I know this post will be met with skepticism. But as a huge Christopher Nolan fan :gonf: , I recently got a tidbit of info that got me excited, and that I wanted to share with you guys. I work in the film industry (that's as specific as I can be; I need to keep it vague to avoid getting in trouble with either of my employers), and I've recently learned that the next Dunkirk footage that we'll be seeing is likely in the form of a prologue (a la the TDK prologue attached to I Am Legend back in December '07, and the TDKR prologue attached to Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol in December '11). I don't have any more concrete info besides that (for now...), but a prologue is definitely in the works!

As far as content, I can only speculate, but if Nolan follows the same template that he did for his previous two prologues, it could be a full scene (5-6 minutes) followed by a sizzle reel of different clips at the end.

More speculation on my part, but as far as when and where it will be released, Nolan's going to want this screened in IMAX only, and the biggest ones possible, at that. Currently that means the 4K Laser IMAXes, in addition to whichever 70mm IMAXes are still around. We'll most likely be seeing this attached to Rogue One in December, which follows the same timeline as his previous prologues.

Also, we’ll still likely get a separate trailer #2 aside from the prologue, as was the case with TDK/TDKR.

Feel free to take this post with a grain of salt, but when the news is announced that we’ll be getting a prologue, you heard it here first ;)

Saw it in IMAX again and...

Who woulda thunk a random extra would have such a negative impact on a Nolan movie?

:facepalm:

Obsessed with the fact Nolan ruined his own movie?
