I posted about it in some general movie topic a while back, I'm interested in it because it's directed by Alex Proyas.

not really, I can't stand Will Smith and it just looks like another dumb hollywood movie to me when it could have been so much more seeing as its based on an Azimov book.

Ok i watched the trailer and i must say it really looks like shit.
Crappy plastic FX and animations.
I like the Björk "All is full of love"/stormtrooper inspired robot designs tho.
Fuck Will Smith!.

I saw that trailer a few weeks ago.
it looks absolutely shit.
it's fucking "I, Robot" and they present it as some stupid hollywood-thing, including dumb jokes. which probably means it will be just that and SUCK terrible ASS.
and I agree - those CGI robots look terrible. apparently they were made by WETA - the guys who did the LOTR films.. they went downhill fast.. :(

I know, from the looks of the trailer it seems that Proyas didn't have much to say about this project, cause his typical visual style isn't present in it. And Will Smith as the leadactor is possibly the worst choice for this film.

could you recommend any other Alex Proyas films that demonstrate a similar visual style as The Crow and Dark City?

I think this film looks immense. I also thought of the second renaissance after seeing the trailer. I think a lot of you will be thinking, cheap, crappy, but I think this looks like it may be pretty damn good.
p.s I also loved the crow

I hate it when people say stuff like that. Like: "oh man you are such a typical IDM listening intelligent pretentious guy" just because they don't agree with what that person says, or that person is dissing something they like. It's so over--and usually incorrectly--used that it has the negative effect of what you are actually trying to convey.

it's an extremely bitter response for those who have no real arguments - it shuts out all further possibilities of a discussion.
it's on par with the lovely "you don't like this just because you don't really understand it (like I do)".

As a loyal fan to Asimov's "I, Robot" I was extremely excited when I discovered that there is to be an "I, Robot" movie. When I saw Will Smith's name associated with the movie, I lost all my faith. Will Smith is a horrible actor / person for that matter. Am I racist? Of course, everyone is. I don't like ghetto and black humor in Hollywood movies because it's targeted for the white spenders (let's have a taste of the black culture! whoo, please) - unless they refrain from the street talk facade and the ebonics plague and actually say something original and not just "yo shut yo trap cracka" (cue the idiotic fools laughing in the audience), most of it sucks. End of Story. Get creative people. When I think of Will Smith, immediately "The Fresh Prince of Bell Air," "Men In Black," and his horrible hip-hop career jump into my head. How the fuck am I supposed to enjoy a movie with Will Smith posing as the MAIN character of "I, Robot"? It fucking sucks. It's a horrible catastrophe. I will not see this movie. To all those fuck heads at imdb that say, "get a life" or "it's a movie, it's supposed to be different then the book," I say - fuck you, understand how betrayed I feel.
I realize I should post this at IMDB but I'm to lazy to make an account. fuck the police.
*hopes this doesn't come off like i'm very racist, i just don't like the generalizations/stereotypes and how people play along with them*

well, just the fact that they made a trailer that begins with a mediocre and typical action-flick-joke crushes all hope they will approach the work of Asimov in an intelligent way.
