NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Could be good, Alex Garland is a very competent director.
The question is, what kind of story are they looking to tell? They can’t do a full chronology and having a simple “Tarnished kills all of the bosses” type of story would be very boring.
It will turn into a “war is hell” story, or go on a large tangent about whether NPC summons have (human) souls.
I’ve tried watching A24 movies, but I was disappointed every time. They have great production, but the story and dialogue of those movies make me never want to watch another.
I know people love to shit on A24, but they’ve put out good films. Some examples:
Enemy (Villeneuve)
Ex Machina
Room
The Witch
Green Room
The Lobster
Good Time
The Killing of a Sacred Deer
Hereditary
Eighth Grade
Mid90s
Midsommar
The Lighthouse
Uncut Gems
Everything Everywhere All at Once
…Honestly, I was just scrolling through the list on wikipedia chronologically, and got tired and feel like I listed more than enough. That’s only some of them up to like 2021… There’s been some good ones since (Zone of Interest for one) Check out the list yourself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_A24_films
I was just being a little shit. I love a lot of the movies they produce, but they are very focused on aesthetics
I’m surprised to see the dislike, I try and catch most A24 movies and am part of some groups on other sites to track and discuss them, most of the time they’re solid IMO.
But on this community most people seem to gear heavily negative to pretty much everything that’s posted so I’m not really surprised.
A24 movies have story? I just watch them for the haunting still life pans, dark synth, and general vibe.
See my reply above for an incomplete list of good (and some great) A24 films
Kinda a good fit for a FromSoft game. Lost of impressive visuals, action, and tons of clues about a story sprinkled throughout the game without actually telling a story.
A so called “tone piece” yeah, that’s a good point.
They’re great if presented as art pieces, but marketing tries to convince me that they’re movies.
Wasn’t this confirmed about a week or two ago? Very surprised people are talking about it now like it’s breaking news.
Was kinda wishing David Lowery got this gig but I haven’t seen Alex Garland miss yet.
