Here is a still pic from the film based on the concept art linked by Sean, above.

So far, the sets look awesome.

Someone needs to photoshop that image so that the guy with his hands up is flipped horizontally.

 

[Malcolm R]

That's James Wan, the director.

Now that Ant-Man & The Wasp has been released, I feel like the biggest movies of the summer have all arrived, and yet we have no trailer for Aquaman, which is being released in 5 months. Should we take it as a bad sign? Maybe there will be something at ComicCon? Either way, not having a trailer in front of one of the big summer films (from Avengers to Solo to Jurassic World to Incredibles 2 to Ant Man) is a missed opportunity.

Aquaman is from DC, so it's unlikely to be promoted in front of a Marvel blockbuster; and it's from Warner Bros, so Disney and Universal are also unlikely to want the trailer before their tentpoles. It will have to be included with one of the bigger Warner Bros releases.

Most likely it will be included with some of the upcoming WB releases such as Teen Titans, The Meg, or The Nun.

It wouldn't be included in the hard drive with the film, but would likely still be shown. Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald (Warner Bros) was shown before my opening night screening of Ant-Man And The Wasp.

I'm guessing they'll make a big deal out of the trailer at Comic-Con.

I just can't seem to muster any enthusiasm for this movie.

 

[Malcolm R]

Really? This is the first DC film since Nolan's trilogy that has me anywhere near excited.

Yeah, I want to see what Wan does with a big budget movie and I thought Aquaman was a reasonably successful part of Justice League. Even if it makes no sense that a dude living underwater is like a biker.

 

[Malcolm R]

Yeah, I want to see what Wan does with a big budget movie...

He did pretty well with Furious 7. Budget of $190 milllion; worldwide gross over $1.5 billion.

Budget of Aquaman is reported at $160 million.

I haven't seen a F&F movie since the terrible second one so I totally forgot he directed one of them.

Even if it makes no sense that a dude living underwater is like a biker.

Because he's half human he spends much of his life above water, too.

I'm another who has no excitement for this. Given Justice Leagues BO performance this one has an uphill battle. DC should be rebooting their cinematic universe and fixing their crown jewel characters - Batman and Superman. Especially Superman. If Marvel can turn a boy scout character like Captain America into one of their best cinematic characters, surely someone can do the same for Superman.
