All they ever really had to say is “Bald Matt Damon” and I’m there, but then you show me this trailer…
…and I’m there with bells on.
This trailer is a long time coming- this feels like one of those movies we’ve been waiting ages for. The six month date change certainly didn’t help with that, but at least we know Sony is confident and ready to push this one hard, even as Blomkamp moves on to his next film.
The trailer above suggests Blomkamp is not painting with subtle strokes in this one, playing out a heightened income gap scenario that has bled from hot-button political topic in the last few years into films like this, the Total Recall remake, Upside Down, and probably others that escape me at the moment. It will be Blompkamp’s alone that features his special kind of dusty scifi action though, and I can’t wait to see what all that robotic skeleton does for an eggheaded Damon.
We’ll find out on August 9th, 2013.

Finally, after 27 years of waiting, a sequel to The Eliminators.
When the pic came out with that biotech on, I couldnt help but to think it looks just like the soldier zombie in the Return of the Living Dead sequel, 3 or 4th, the one with the half naked hot chic with metal through her fingertips. The black zombie had a mech-skeletal just like Damons lol. But the preview made me happy so…. who knows.
“his special kind of dusty sci-fi action…” I think it was George Miller’s special kind of dusty sci-fi action first.
Or rateher Jack Smight and Damnation Alley’s ‘special kind of dusty sci-fi action first’.
Or rather it was L.Q. Jones and A Boy and His Dog… nah, I’ll go with Damnation Alley.
Yeah that was 3, much better than 2, but not nearly as great as the original. Still worth a watch, though, for the hottest zombie ever.
