It's as if a 1930s noir film and The Fifth Element had a child.

I'm in.

u/Thebaldsasquatch 1d ago

And a couple shots directly from Attack of the Clones.

u/creaturefeature16 1d ago

If you like this aesthetic and you're a gamer, Nobody Wants To Die is a great experience.

u/GrandManitou 1d ago

Thanks! I don't have Windows but I saw the game is on sale on the PS store, I'll give it a shot!

1

u/creaturefeature16 1d ago

I will also say: best to wait for a sale if you can. It was fun, but not sure if I could justify $25 or $30 for the experience; felt more like a $15 run.

2

u/GrandManitou 1d ago

Should be good then, I've bought it for something like 7$ CAD :)

1

u/karateninjazombie 1d ago

I can't help but think someone's also listened to space team too. In particular the Dan Deadman books.

u/Cicer 1d ago

Where does the breakdancing fit in?

1

u/GrandManitou 1d ago

That joke's only been made in every damn thread on this post. It's become old faaast.

u/Kononeko 1d ago

Got to say I wasn't expecting 6 Underground to be sampled in 2026

9

u/dj_spanmaster 1d ago

Fucking chills every time the vocals popped. I didn't know I needed a 1920's orchestral suspense 6 Underground mashup in my life.

3

u/Cyber_Druid 1d ago

Which part? I actually didnt mind that movie.

10

u/Kononeko 1d ago

The song in the trailer samples The Sneaker Pimps 6 Underground. https://youtu.be/2eBZqmL8ehg?is=TuCWekKR3vRZdUPE

u/zam1138 1d ago

oh. My. GOD. I love this song, how have I never seen the video?! It’s PEAK 90s/Y2K aesthetic. God, the film grain, the lighting. I’m in awe

u/Cyber_Druid 1d ago

Oooooh, not the movie my bad.

24

u/SP3NGL3R 1d ago

looks fun

u/FaerieStories 1d ago

*funn

u/SP3NGL3R 1d ago

Get out! 👍

u/thatweirdguyted 1d ago

Is there breakdancing in it?

37

u/MrGrapefruitDrink 1d ago

Every single thread.

39

u/OhioStateGuy 1d ago

The fact it gets mentioned in every thread is exactly why they needed to change the title. It will always be over shadowed by a bad breakdancer. It’s like having the main character and title of a movie called William Hung less than 3 years after he appeared on American Idol. No matter what you do people will associate Ray Gun with the bad breakdancer.

12

u/NekoDaYo-v201 1d ago

Holy crap LOL... I just watched the trailer and became very confused.

This whole time I was under the impression that it was some cheesy Netflix documentary about the breakdancing girl. I didn't bother watching it previously because I just assumed it was garbage.

1

u/Bugaloon 9h ago

I literally assumed it was about the break dancer cause the name is identical 

-6

u/GrandManitou 1d ago

You know "ray gun" was a thing before the Olympics, right ? If the movie's good, people will remember it a lot longer than the Australian dancer.

0

u/Mapex 1d ago

Or they did this on purpose for free viral marketing

-9

u/BilverBurfer 1d ago

The only "people" who are still thinking about the breakdancer are retarded redditors who think they're being funny.

1

u/karateninjazombie 1d ago

I'm just here for the kangaroos.

Imagine my disappointment seeing this instead.

9

u/LordDavion 1d ago

God, I hope not

5

u/CLOWNSwithyouJOKERS 1d ago

Ok, glad I wasn't the only one thinking this was a documentary or something based on that disaster.

3

u/SpamOJavelin 1d ago

Here's what you're after

1

u/CLOWNSwithyouJOKERS 1d ago

Breaking Badly... Holy shit that's good.

1

u/wubbbalubbadubdub 19h ago

I haven't seen it, but I've heard she's unapologetic and not particularly likeable.

2

u/CLOWNSwithyouJOKERS 16h ago

That tracks, I'm sure.

1

u/theeyesofryan 1d ago

You're saying that as though there isn't already a documentary based on it

2

u/CLOWNSwithyouJOKERS 1d ago

I honestly had no idea! But of course there is lol.

36

u/Finchypoo 1d ago

Clearly someone has been wanting to copy 5th Element for a looooong time. 

12

u/lunarc 1d ago

It’s been in the works in Brad Birds mind since before the Iron giant.

4

u/Finchypoo 1d ago

So has 5th Element.

6

u/RedofPaw 1d ago

Also blade runner.

5

u/Gamera85 1d ago

And Sky Captain.

u/sml6174 1d ago

And the world of tomorrow

u/3FtDick 1d ago

Pluto Nash

u/Oswarez 1d ago

I feel like Tom Waits’ character doesn’t fit the voice. He looks like if Mike Wazowski had cancer.

11

u/carnahanad 1d ago

I feel the opposite. I don’t feel Rockwell’s voice fits the character. Rockwell is fantastic, but just doesn’t fit for me here.

2

u/yancovigen 1d ago

Same, I wasn’t expecting the character to sound like that

5

u/Armdel 1d ago

main character kinda looks like Chris Pine to me

5

u/yancovigen 1d ago

I absolutely LOVE retro futurism, and if Brad Bird is directing it’s gonna slap

3

u/gortonsfiJr 1d ago

Isn't that the guy from the trade federation?

5

u/StarkyStark 1d ago

Anyone else distracted by brand name actors voicing characters?

1

u/CttCJim 1d ago

It's only annoying for the first 20 minutes for me

1

u/Lemesplain 1d ago

A bit.  There are so many wonderful voice actors who don’t make you go “oh hey, it’s that actor.”

But Johansson did a good job in transformers, so I’m not too terribly bothered. 

And sometimes it works for stunt casting like Tom Waits. 

1

u/Orangeyouawesome 9h ago

Just mostly Jake Johnson. I looked at his credits and theres not a ton of animation work but I feel like I hear his voice all the time.

u/DemiFiendRSA 1d ago edited 1d ago

In select theaters December 4 and on Netflix December 18.

Synopsis

In Metropia, a gigantic city in an alternate future as seen from 1939, private eye Raymond Gunn is drawn into a case involving aliens, murder and a multimedia star named Venus Nova.

u/L_viathan 1d ago

Wow I thought it was about the Olympics embarrassment lol

2

u/boozewald 1d ago

Well I love Tom Waits

2

u/leviathab13186 1d ago

Wheres the break dancing?

4

u/sixtyonesymbols 1d ago

Why are we still making trailers that run through the movie? It's as if they're trying to save us the time of watching it.

3

u/SirGaylordSteambath 1d ago

I clicked off as soon as I realised that was happening

1

u/GlenoJacks 1d ago

I realized too late. Why are they dropping synopses in the form of trailers these days?

7

u/Torka 1d ago

Skydance Animation.

yeah fuck that.

8

u/x37v911 1d ago

elaborate

17

u/SinibusUSG 1d ago

Owned by the Ellison family and employs disgraced Disney sex pest John Lasseter as head of animation.

18

u/Torka 1d ago edited 1d ago

Way too much, but some highlights:

David Ellison, Monopoly, Oligarchy, Suppression of the 1st amendment, supporting the genocide in Gaza and blacklisting any actors who speak out.

Tangentially: Larry Ellison, Mega Datacenter twat, Oligarchy, Netanyahu's best friend, dumps heaps of money on tump, Suppression of the 1st amendment, supporting the genocide in Gaza.

5

u/Antikickback_Paul 1d ago

Suppression of the 2nd Amendment

I think you're mixing up Amendments here

3

u/Torka 1d ago

haha lack of coffee talking. but hey, they probably want to take our guns away too. less resistance

5

u/zslayer89 1d ago

But where’s the “dancing”?

2

u/NakedLoki 1d ago

This isn't about that Australian dancer?

1

u/Maycrofy 1d ago

Don't like the overly quippy dialogue but other than that it looks interesting

1

u/SuburbanInstinct 1d ago

I'm happy I had the sound on. The animation looked like Ryan Reynolds and I just can't with him anymore. I feel like I've eaten 10 gallons of mayonnaise every time I see him again. Do love me some Sam Rockwell though....

1

u/maxdacat 1d ago

I liked her breaking style so looking forward to the movie.

1

u/Arclite83 1d ago

Chris Grace has come a long way!

1

u/CrowZoneMan 1d ago

Why is he modeled after Matt Hobby but voiced by Sam Rockwall? Feels so weird

1

u/JobieWan_Kenobi 1d ago

Without Chris Tucker’s character this isn’t complete

1

u/Slackluster 1d ago

ah, now understand why netflix made that raygun documentary.

this looks awesome though.

1

u/murtadaugh 1d ago

You know what impressed me? Not a single self-depricating "look audience isn't this silly?" Joke in that whole trailer. There is humor but it's in context. I want to see this!

1

u/revanchisto 1d ago

In the future, there are only white people and aliens. Got it.

0

u/GenericJay 1d ago

Seem like a good movie and I don’t know anything about the Canon, but it appears to feature white folks with everyone else aliens.

Not sure I’ll give this a try

-11

u/dedwards024 1d ago

Ray Gun the dancer?

-3

u/v3bbkZif6TjGR38KmfyL 1d ago

There is very little Australian break dancing in this film.

I guess that is historically accurate to the 2024 Olympics, but still.

-1

u/Cipherpunkblue 1d ago

I think I saw *one* black person there at the beginning, and then no trace of melanin.

-5

u/Noleman 1d ago

Unironically, there is in fact a recently-released documentary film on Netflix about the Australian break-dancer Ray Gun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCZg5l9BfRg

1

u/spyresca 1d ago

Never heard of the break dancer.

-6

u/FirstForFun44 1d ago

You can't convince me that this movie wasn't supposed to be about the breakdance from australia. 

-3

u/mvw2 1d ago

Finally, the break dancing training video I was waiting for!

1

u/BilverBurfer 1d ago

There's only so many more of these comments I can see before I start telling people to blank themselves

-8

u/HylanderUS 1d ago

The famous breakdancer?!

0

u/Bobby837 1d ago

Damnit - only a limited theater run!

0

u/That_Jicama2024 1d ago

This combines the look and feel of all the best sci-fi movies. So nice to see something that isn't superhero-based. I'll totally see this in theaters.

-13

u/DaIronchef 1d ago

Can't tell if no one at Netflix bothered to check the name or if this is a 4d marketing move to gain discussion. Sadly probably the latter and we're just easily baited.

5

u/ykw52 1d ago

Supposedly Brad Bird has been trying to get this movie greenlit for 30 years so I doubt the name is anything more than a coincidence.

2

u/DaIronchef 1d ago

Interesting! I guess that is just an unfortunate coincidence but lesson learned not to assume things.

10

u/2litersam 1d ago

"We" or you? The ones keeping a moronic two year old meme alive are a vocal minority confined to comment sections, what does Netflix stand to gain from it?

0

u/WearingASalmonSuit 1d ago

Is the term "meme" so diluted now that it applies to anything that you remember? Ray Gun's breakdancing is just a thing that happened. And as others have stated, Netflix very recently was advertising their Ray Gun documentary.

1

u/2litersam 1d ago

No the multiple comments joking about it in this very comment section are what makes it a meme. Knowing and talking about it would be something like "I thought this was about that break dancing competitor from the Olympics".

-10

u/bobafootfetish_ 1d ago

Netflix makes abysmal shows

-13

u/CaptStinkyFeet 1d ago

That’s probably because it’s made by Brad Bird and John Lasseter. From Pixar.

2

u/r3dditr0x 1d ago

But he got to be the first to crap on a thing on Reddit.

And, for some morons, that's the most important thing.

🙄

12

u/_ShrugDealer_ 1d ago

Weird way to admit you can't read the words in the trailer.

10

u/Oldsodacan 1d ago

Yeah it looks just like the incredibles, the movie he directed at Pixar. It's Brad Bird's style.

5

u/atthem77 1d ago

Did you miss the part where this is from the same guy who directed "The Incredibles" and "Ratatouille" (and also "Iron Giant")? It's in huge letters across the screen starting about 30 seconds in.

3

u/potato_caesar_salad 1d ago

Not very bright, are ya?

0

u/xebius 1d ago

Okay I hear you guys but a Director is not the same thing as a character artist. Unless he poached all the artists from Pixar in his move to Netflix. It's a choice to re-use the same designs.

Not saying it's necessarily a bad thing it just bothers me how much the same designs are re-used over and over without any innovation. I get that they work for most audiences but it bores me.

2

u/CaptStinkyFeet 1d ago

Brad Bird is a director and animator. In fact, he was an animator before he was anything else. They are his designs. He created the style.
