Lynn, message from Alan. Something to pitch to Tony Hayers at BBC lunch, Friday. Idea for film extravaganza, plot thus: Adam Driver is trapped in the future. He’s being pursued by a dinosaur from the past, played by Rutger Hauer.

"Location unknown". It's Earth, isn't it?

 

Looks like a fun romp but hope there's a scene with a raptor and the little girl is all, "let's tame them, and ride them!" and Driver is all, "No, let's not, that would be fucking stupid," before looking directly into the camera, and Chris Pratt's soul.

Yeah I couldn't be more interested in a dinosaur film that isn't Jurassic World, it will feel like being purified. Even if I found A Quiet Place 2 the flimsiest film, I assume it was just rushed than.. I took this as John Krasinski's next film (is doing something called If with Ryan Reynolds and Steve Carell). Not that A Quiet Place's story didn't have weak parts and contrivances either. The directors of this don't seem to have directed anything notable.

 

Driver doing this makes me think of Adrian Brody doing Predators, both actors seem kind of similar in vibe to me, not known for action, except Brody's career was on the slide when he took Predators and Driver gets all the best films. 

 

Just browsing reddit then, 'Really?! This is what they're calling it??' thread..yeaahh, it is nothing isn't it. 

 

The Jurassic World's were so bad it can't come soon enough to watch something that rectifies that. Characters you care about even just a lot bit, some tension.

 

Given the forgettable title might dent its box office, what else could it be called? And how does someone else go about using Cloverfield for their own gain ?

Aye, it was a question to confirm I wasn’t losing my own sanity because the first 30 seconds the spaceship voice says “location unknown” about 65 million times, only for that little mystery to be resolved quicker than a hungry T-Rex eating a chicken nugget.

Can't help wondering if they've done a T2 there and explicitly given something away in the trailer that would've been better revealed in the film itself

It would've been great if that trailer had more restraint, and just showed lots of moody shots with "there's something out there" V.O. making it look like a tense violent sci-fi horror/thriller. Why's it called 65? What could it mean? Is it a secret Predator reboot or a brand new sci-fi property? Buzz!

 

Then you go to see it and it turns out the film's a story about how

 

Spoiler

an alien played by Adam Driver arrived on Earth 65 million years ago and singlehandedly drove the dinosaurs to extinction with a massive gun.

 

That'd be hilarious

Thinking it's a time loop story, ship ends up back in time somehow, I reckon the collision with the asteroid knocks it off course and into prehistoric earth, which would look nothing like modern Earth continent wise (although the moon would be a big giveaway, albeit it would be closer), thus humanity manages to kill the dinosaurs and be it's own creator inadvertently in time. It would be dumb to be a human origin story as 65 million years of evolution would mean we'd look nothing like current selves.

 

Whatever the excuse, I'll take a bigger budget Man Vs Dino's film that isn't Jurassic Park. At least it's not a direct to DVD shitfest

Difference between Driver and Brody is that Brody is a slight slip of a man whereas Driver is a hulking giant. Also ex-military so will probably look authentic doing the pew-pew. 
 

I think every contender for best actor of their generation should have at least one completely stupid B-movie schlock film on their resume so am well up for this.

Driver already has that covered with The Dead Don’t Die. But time travel and dinosaurs also fit the bill nicely.
