Based on the Steampunk novels of the same name. Still a year away, but looks like it might be interesting.

That was different, getting Mad Max vibes from that.

Please have a story and a good script and not just visuals.

IvanDobskey · 19 Dec 2017 at 15:40

Certainly looks an interesting premise.

Anyone read the books? Just read the wiki and it sounds, well, bizarre.

Just read the wiki and it sounds bizarre. Looking forward to it.

One thing I would say is I hope when the film releases we get some wide shots and not close ups like the trailer is full of for the action set pieces.

its like a giant version of The Crimson Permanent Assurance from the meaning of life

Looks bloody stupid. I like it.

looks several steps beyond stupid.

Just saw the teaser trailer for this last night at Tomb Raider, wondered why I hadn't seen anything on the forum about it....missed this thread!

I've been a big fan of Jackson ever since Bad Taste, Braindead, The Frighteners etc so am hoping for something good here

Looks really good, will be waiting for it

This was a pretty crap kids book IMO. Read it years and years ago. Great idea, naffly written.

Film looks cool.

Looks like it's going to be a decent take brain out watch the visual films for the xmas slot.

Watched this today and walked in without knowing anything about it. Unexpectedly it was pretty good with some amazing effects and satisfying plot. Highly recommended.

I watched it, and thought it was a bit like tihs

It's pretty good fun actually. Surprisingly action packed throughout, pretty non stop for the 2hrs or whatever it is.

I got an "out of hours" call about 3/4 of the way through it, so I'm going to go back during the week and watch it again, hopefully all the way through.
Enjoyed the first 3/4!!
