I know they’re showing slices of the first movie, visually speaking, but I believe the story is somewhat akin to the 2nd GIG storyline.
Not-yet-released movies hype thread

I saw what I now understand was a preview for Dunkirk before seeing Rogue One. At the time it reminded me of a Kojima trailer for metal gear, but since it’s a “preview” I guess that kind of puts it into a different class. Personally, it left me cold. I had no idea what it was before I saw it and I still have no idea after. I guess Christoper Nolan is still doing that thing where the movie is only partially shot for IMAX, making me question whether or not that’s just a stylistic choice at this point.

Great action scene. I like the visuals and art direction, but less enthused about Scarlett Johansson’s delivery of her lines and the writing. They are passable, but I don’t think it’s enough to be on par with Major from the anime works. With that being said, this is the best Hollywood anime adaptation movie they’ve ever made, so baby steps. Comparing this to Dragon Ball Evolution, it’s night and day. If this ends up being good enough, perhaps we’ll see a renaissance of excellent anime adaptations, with larger production budgets and better writing.

Oh wow. I didn’t know a trailer was already out for that. I remember hearing about its production being in limbo.

One one hand, I’m really excited for this adaptation of Death Note.
On the other, I’m really worried they’re going to botch the living hell out of the story.
