SPOILER WARNING
THIS MOVIE WILL RELEASE ON 25 JULY.
Posts before that date are free of spoilers derived from actual viewing of the film, although discussion of what the film might be could be spoilerish in nature.
POSTS AFTER 25 JULY MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS WITHIN THE DISCUSSION OF WHAT WAS VIEWED IN THE FILM.
Saw a poster, don't know much about it. Is it another Hanah?
Don't recall another ScarJo title role, or one which she carries. Closest were costarring in Island and Ghost World.
Anybody know much? Is this her launching pad?

I've seen the previews, and it looks pretty cool. Has an edge of that common-person-becomes-God that reminds me of battlefield earth, but looks cool enough that I'll likely go see it.
I love the idea of being able to see all the data steams that fill the air around us all the time, and plug into them. Because really, if we were electronic as well as organic beings, we could be able to do that. If our bodies had wired in signal detection arrays, like cell phone chips that could detect the incoming direction of a signal and decrypt it, then visualize it in our brains, we could totally do that.
Yes, this supposition is based on a short clip in the teaser. I really liked that bit.
I'm less cool with her ability to knock a roomful of people out with just her mind. That's moving towards "writer imagining his character becoming a god" land, I think. We'll see.

This movie's concept is similar to Limitless (2011):
"With the help of a mysterious pill that enables the user to access 100 percent of his brain abilities, a struggling writer ( Bradley Cooper ) becomes a financial wizard, but it also puts him in a new world with lots of dangers." -- www.imdb.com/title/tt1219289/
The Joss Whedon script for Serenity, where Wash lives, is Serenity-190pages.pdf at www.mediafire.com/folder/1uwh75oa407q8/Firefly

It's a Luc Besson film, so it's Nikita on steroids. I too really liked the concept as depicted in the clip. This could go either way, Fifth Element or Hannah, great potential but short on delivery.

She was the IT Girl until Jennifer Lawrence came into being on the Big Screen.
This may bring her back into the spotlight, relatively speaking.

I thought it was Lost in Translation, and some Woody Allen work, plus Bay not letting her go topless in Island that put her in a slide.

The Island was a bump in the road (maybe closer to road kill), but her work in Allen's films and Lost in Translation were solid outings (IMHO), I admire her ventures into Indy films as well. But she's been edged out by the skyrocketing career of JLaw (who has made a splash because both her acting chops and commercial appeal - men want to f*$@ her and women want to be her).
She's had a sort of rebound with her Avengers part, she was funny in Don Jon but has yet to return to her once high status and position as America's Sweetheart. JLaw is still No. 1. Watch for Mila Kunis, she's slowly and cleverly clawing her way to the top. All depends on the success of both Jupiter Ascending and The MockingJay (the two-parter from the Hunger Games).
This should be fun......

Been enamored with SJ since Lost in Translation. Her on screen presence is fantastic.
I hope this is as good as advertised. So often in movies, the 'Ta-Dah!' beginning sadly fizzles with a laugher of a conclusion.
( This could be a whole different thread, or one I've already started before... )
Lucy. ( Australopithecus )
Evolution.
If that's truly a nod to one of our ancestors, how clever !

I liked her in Horse Whisperer and Ghost World to start, plus others. I thought Lost in Translation didn't highlight her much, but maybe it wasn't supposed to.
