I just saw the international trailer, I heard it was based on a book. Which is something I am definitely looking forward to getting my hands on. Not too sure how the movie plays out, so many things lose their beauty through the transformation unto the screen.
Wow, from the trailer that looks absolutely freakin' epic! AS a roleplayer there's just so much in there that makes me salivate...
Tom Cruise has a spotty record when choosing sci-fi films, but at least he'll sprint in them.
I started the book, All You Need Is Kill. It's pretty good, and only 200 pages. I liked Lee Child's One Shot too, another Cruisedaptation.
When watching the trailer all I was able to see was space marines, the costume design looks as Warhammerish as it gets.
Looks good to me. The by line that Sean used does sound like the six second promo for a really awful story though.
