This Ain't It Cool News article contains some links to a cool trailer. Very stylish. And more than a little bit shadowrunny?

Hmm, no grey tones annoy me.

It also seems to be as "grey" as the "Shadowrun" FPS. Nothing says "Mmmm.... Shadowrun" like two isolated and competing factions fighting over something as... Aw, fuck it. It's not even close.

Hmm. Well sorry. I like the look of it. Think it's got a sweet futuristic noir look and feel to it, and the animation is eye-catching. We'll see, I guess.

It looks all right, I guess. But it's not overly impressive enough to pique my interest.

I concur, Witness. Thanks for this.
What's the film's release date? |

I like it when animation pushes the boundaries. I will see this.

Looks interesting. I'll keep an eye out for it when it hits the NY theaters. Failing that, it should be on DVD fairly quickly.

Woohoo! Looked pretty good. I would like to see more serious anmiated movies (saying adult movies always seems to mean porn). Especially if they arn't friggin anime. I should just be settling in to San Diego to, so odds are a theater there will be playing it!

Not a big fan of the comic book, but the film shows promise. There's much more on the film's official website

A clip from this up on AICN. Looks good to me, though I haven't watched it with sound yet.

I just saw this the other day. Voice acting and dialogue aren't the greatest but the animation was amazingly great.

I've (hopefully) got tickets to a preview tonight. If I remember I'll get back to y'all about it :P

Go on? ;) Finally got to see this yesterday. Storywise- not so bad. Nothing stunningly original, no, but solid cyberpunk (or futuristic noir at least) I really loved the animation though. It wasn't just black and white, and in fact there were some lovely inventive uses of the form too (in one scene, two half-lit faces, one on either side of a glass screen and one of them a reflection, shift as the camera moves until they morph beautifully into a single face- you probably have to see it). I thought the English-dubbed voice acting (e.g. Daniel Craig doing the lead) was spot on. The vision of a 2050s Paris was stunning, especially since I went there last year: it's as cool and upscaled as the Bladerunner vision of the future, but with the added bonus of being a real place, futurized- so I saw real places, that I'd visited, but which were 'developed', such as a glass-covered underground plaza in front of Notre Dame. I guess that particularly appealed to me because last year when I visited I was head-deep into SR, and when I was in Paris (and other holiday destinations that I visited last year) I was constantly imagining what it/they would be like in SR times. With Renaissance I actually got to see it! Yeah I'd seriously recommend this one. Especially for SR fans. Fairly decent 'moral twist' too. |

So yeah massive necro here most of the posts were people being excited to see as opposed to people talking about it. .... ok so I just found this movie and want to bring it up on DS
I really like how the sci-fi elements in the setting were layered on the existing physical buildings. It felt like an especially European take on futurism. Plus I'm a sucker for first person shots with image-links. Very slick, but I don't think it actually needed to be a feature. 3-4 bits of something that rich is about as much as you could want. |

Too bad the story was cliché, and the dialogs unimaginative (even with Jean-Bernard Pouy in the credits). With a bit more work on that part, it could have been a masterpiece.

I'll agree with you there Shadow ,it would be nice to see more serious animated moives, I mean I love anime but every one else is just a capable of making animated movies that are not children's entertainment or "adult" comedy. The problem is that the idea of animation=cartoons= kids show is such a fixed idea that movies like that will be very rare outside of anime. |
