Deja Vu
Okay, so I am in love with the trailer for Deja Vu because of that cool hook they do of making the trailer repeat itself, so it looks like you are experiencing deja vu while you watch it. So nice to see a trailer with an original presentation.
Plus the movie looks pretty good. Tony Scott's films are usually good ones. I have no idea exactly what the plot is (is Denzell married to that girl? Does she die?) but I'm definitely interested in seeing it now! Anyone else?

The premise of the film is about Washington, a cop trying to solve a murder of a woman that he later falls in love with and then going back in time with some kind of time machine to prevent her murder.

Re: Deja Vu
I'm very interested in this film. Their last colloboration was one of my favorite films of 2004. The new trailer for this gives a bit away, but I'm sure the film will still surprise me.
It's a good trailer, I agree  |

Re: Deja Vu
The first trailer for it sucked. Completely uninteresting.
The new one though, with the repeat like Abby said, is quite good and actually makes me want to see it now. I know the audience I saw that trailer with got a good laugh at the repeated intro. Glad they changed the marketing on this one. |

Re: Deja Vu
Ever since Man On Fire, my friends and I have become huge fans of Tony. Not seeing that in theatres was the stupidest thing I've ever done. His level of command over the craft, and his willingness to experiment with ways of conveying emotion, choosing scripts that are well-suited to his love for creativity, ignoring CGI and digital enhancements in favor of completely organic innovations, just everything. Even the subtitles are loaded with energy. As a photographer, seeing cross-processed positive slide film shot with hand-cranked cameras from the 1920s is a pure adrenaline rush- to see a fellow artist taking risks that I've often thought about trying out in the darkroom- underfixed film, bleach bypass, etc. It's hugely inspiring. I can't imagine his new stuff would play very well with people who aren't photographers or cinematographers, but I can't get enough of it. The craziness of Domino Harvey was so well conveyed in the appropriately crazy visuals- and yet they are conveyed with such confidence. A young person could never pull such organized madness off. That he actually rewinds the negative on the spot and re-exposes it for the multiple exposures blows my mind. It might be the first avant-garde action picture. And shooting the finale of the film in 2-10fps?! It's a cinematographer's wet dream!
I have a feeling Deja Vu will break away from the aesthetic of his last two films, as he's repeatedly said he doesn't like to repeat himself this late in life. In any case, it's great to see him emerge as such a creative artist after making 15 years of normal (but good) movies. In any case, I'll be in line for this one. I think it'll be solid, populist entertainment elevated by some terrific aesthetic exploratory interpretations of the material.
Regards,

Re: Deja Vu
I'll be happy if T.Scott doesn't over-do the seizure-inducing quick-cuts from his past 3-4 film efforts.

Re: Deja Vu
Shouldn't this be in After Hours? I'm surprised this thread hasn't closed considering the subject.....

Re: Deja Vu
Confession:
Wife and I went to see Prestige, and during the pre-show ads, the screen kept flickering, sound wasn't loud enough, etc.
So by the time they showed the trailer for Deja Vu, I was pretty pissed at the "teenage kid" running the projector.
So when the Deja Vu trailer seemingly starts over after 10 seconds, I fairly loudly say "stupid teenage kid!"

Re: Deja Vu
OK so there is this film, then a heavily advertised TV show premiering soon on ABC with a similar premise; both leads are black guys. Deja vu indeed.

Re: Deja Vu
Holadem, I've seen that TV show preview as well. It looks cool, but obviously the whole living the same day over and over again isn't a new concept. It was used in 'Groundhog Day', an episode of Star Trek TNG, X-Files, and Millennium. Not sure if the same thing happens to Denzel in this new film though.
I've always liked Tony Scott's films, they're so stylish and visual and just fun to look at. I'm looking forward to 'Deja Vu' as well. I read somewhere it was the first movie to be filmed in New Orleans after Katrina, in fact they used some of the devastation in the movie to help tell the story. In what way I don't know.
