First off the film looks GREAT! I will be there opening day most likely. The special effects look really good but I'm sure most people know that by looking at some of this stuff. I'll post more stuff soon.

[kirkman316]

I know a lot of people are saying it looks like a ripoff of several other disaster movies, but who the hell cares? Even though they've made the trainwreck that was Godzilla since then, I still get chills whenever I see those letters spread out on the screen, "FROM THE MAKERS OF INDEPENDENCE DAY"

And I didn't even really care for Independence Day. I just know they can pull off this kind of epic disaster flick.

[DareDevil]

iwill be there opening night, actualy i'll probaly see this a few days before! can't wait looks to be one kickass movie!

[Tom Samborski]

It does indeed look good, but I think the premise just sets the scene for your typical Hollywood happy ending. I hope they go with a dark ending where the global warming gets worse, everybody's asses become frozen in the snow in New York, and the rest of the population dies off miserable deaths. It would be a good lesson to show how the power of the human race can destroy us all, but I doubt that. They'll probably just go for an ending where the weather suddenly goes back to normal. Any scientist would spit their drinks out at the screen if that happened, and it most likely will.

[someguy]

Actually Tom the movie will not be focused on the disasters and such the most. It will rely more on how the human race will survive after what has happened. In the script review I read Quaid knows what will happen and informs the president that a new ice age is coming. He tells the president to get everyone down to Mexico because it is safer and part of the movie is the president deciding whether or not to co-operate with Mexico. It all sounds good to me. I'm sure that Emmerich will not make it end with everything back to normal. The movie will be darker and virtually no comedy.

[Cronos]

i really wanna see this, is there any news as to when it will get a release, i really wanna see this

[Tuukka]

I've read in a script review that the first half of the movie deals with catastrophes and the second half is a rather low-key relationships drama set in snowy New York. The script review was rather negative, BTW.

FROM TMNC:


Disappointing Tomorrow

I hate writing negative reviews. My philosophy has always been if it's that bad it's not worth the energy to write about it. I had to break that rule for today's column. I had to get my feelings about this screenplay out. So today behold for The Day After Tomorrow is upon us...

The Day After Tomorrow Script Review

For the first part of the nineties, Roland Emmerich was considered a promising genius. His Stargate and Independence Day were huge hits and critically well received. I adored both movies. It all went downhill from there. Godzilla was a monumental disaster and The Patriot didn't spark with audiences. The latter had a strong script (that I read and loved) but the finished product was changed for the worse. Coming off a split with long-time partner Dean Devlin, Emmerich co-wrote The Day After Tomorrow with Jeffrey Nachmanoff. Talent agency CAA packaged Emmerich and producer Mark Gordon to the highest bidder. The condition was an immediate green light for a Summer 2003 opening. The winner of that bidding marks a reunion of sort for Emmerich, as he's teamed with his ID4 studio 20th Century Fox. The screenplay I'll be reviewing today is dated May 1st 2002. Shooting begins mid-November in my hometown of Montreal.

"The Global Warming debate... is over: Global Warming is here." -- Joel Lang, Northeast Magazine.

The Countries of the world will only make peace when they are threatened by invaders from outer space. Or global climate change. -- Ross Gelbspa "The Heat is On."

After these two quotes, the story begins in Antarctica. Professor Adrian Hall (Dennis Quaid) is studying the climate with his students there. Suddenly one of the ice shelves breaks off. Cut to four months later, the Antarctica disaster has triggered a chain of climatic events unlike anything human civilization has witnessed. Hurricane Hunter destroys the Pacific islands. Tokyo is destroyed by a hail stones the size of grapefruits. Tornadoes sweep through Los Angeles. Insane wind changes close off all commercial airlines in North America. At this point, Professor Hall is the only one who can explain the situation. His solution to the President is earth shattering: 'Move South, Evacuate everybody south of this line (San-Francisco to Washington DC)'. While America is trying to survive, Hall decides to lead an expedition to New York City to save his son's life (Jake Gyllenhaal).

I have some serious problems with this screenplay. On the plus side though, the story has an amazing visual scale. The entire northern hemisphere is being destroyed by climatic situations. It's going to be stunning to see all those landmarks and cities destroyed by hailstorm, tornadoes, floods, hurricanes etc... Kind of like when the aliens destroyed Washington DC and New York in ID4. Most of the third and fourth acts revolves around a frozen (I'm talking Ice Age here) New York City. The set design and special effects for that alone will probably be breathtaking. One thing that was briefly interesting was the geo-political accent of the story, when the President has to choose whether or not to invade Mexico, to use it as a refugee shelter. They should have played a little more into that. It kept me involved in the screenplay.

Slowly in the past three years, Dennis Quaid has managed to make a comeback. His recent turn in The Rookie brought him some critical and mass appeal. He's about to flush all of that down the toilet with this picture. His role has no payoff. He doesn't go through any character arc. He's the same person from beginning to end. His relationship with his son isn't interesting. His entire bond with his son is shown in a brief three page scene. (It involves pot smoking. Oh! How controversial!!) There are some issues about him being absent but it doesn't go anywhere from there. How does he make up for that? He eventually goes to rescue his son. Any father would do that. There's no genuine change in his character. He has no love interest either. I couldn't care less for him. I was not attached to him. For all I care, he could have died and it would have been fine. He doesn't resemble any of the ID4 leads. President Whitmore (Bill Pullman) was under heavy pressure, lost his wife and was trying to protect his country and daughter. David Levinson (Jeff Goldblum) was trying to win back his ex-wife. While Captain Hiller (Will Smith) was more of a suicidal joker who still cared about his girlfriend and child. Professor Hall is nothing like these men. That's a terrible mistake.

I won't even talk about my personal opinion of Jake Gyllenhaal. (We all remember Bubble Boy?) His Sam Hall is involved in a love triangle with Laura (Emmy Rossum) and J.D. (useless young actor to be named later). It's just a pathetic situation over all. I was barely intrigued at the opening of it. Then it became too random and cliché to really be remarkable. The writing just wasn't sharp enough. A love triangle between a woman and two men is something we have seen too commonly in big blockbusters. (Titanic, Pearl Harbor come to mind...) If you've seen one of those, you've seen them all. The only divergence with this one is it's utterly boring. I felt the writers were lazy. They could have gone a billion different ways with this but decided to pick the easy route. What's even more appalling is that FOX's other big 2003 summer blockbuster has the perfect contrary of this situation. X2 has one of the most subtle and engaging love triangles in a while now. HEY! I'm not talking about Wolverine/Jean Grey/Cyclops here. That's another column entirely. I'm talking characters around the same ages as the Tomorrow young adults. Rogue is the center of a love duel involving her boyfriend Iceman and Pyro. It's not the focus of X2 but it's well written and it struck me as really fascinating. I wanted to know what was behind everything. How did it commence? How long has Pyro been envious? What's going to happen next? The writers did a remarkable job building up the trio. The complete opposite of this dull plot in The Day After Tomorrow.

Finally, this script lacks a very essential ingredient. HUMOR! Most of the big disaster films of the past years had some really good laughs. ID4 had strong comic relief from Will Smith and Co. I remember Armageddon was quite amusing at moments. Even Godzilla had a few funny bits. The Day After Tomorrow has ZERO comedy. There's not even a tentative attempt at a comical sidekick or comic relief character. What the heck is wrong with those? In this post 9/11 world, have we lost our sense of humor? Are tragedy, mayhem and catastrophes only to be taken totally seriously now? The subject matter is way too dramatic. There's no optimistic or inspiring message in The Day After Tomorrow. I'm supposing Dean Devlin was the one writing all the jokes. I hate to say this, but his input is badly missed on this project.

I can see the future: Around April or May of 2003, Fox execs will try ritual suicidal after seeing the first test screening results. Believe me, this is one package Fox should have not opened. So much for the environment...

[TheGodSon]

Fuck.


After reading the script review.....eh, I dont' know what to think. I'll still see it though. Hope the actual movie turns out good.

[Duke Nukem]

Screw that script "review." Based on that awesome trailer, Dennis Quaid's character cannot be that bad. I'm sure I'll disagree with that "opinion" over the apparently bad writing and possible acting, as I have with a lot of underrated movies.

[BorderEevilIII]

The New Trailer KICKS ASS!!
Just an eerie thought of seeing California, Los Angeles getting blown away to pieces. :eek:

[someguy]

Isn't it Los Angeles, California?

;)

I bet Arnold would pulverize the twisters.

[Jas]

FUCK! JUST FUCK! I'm in lame old Iceland so the movie will be coming out in theatres here in about...hmm let's see, 80-GODDAMNED-DAYS!

Oh and fuck the script review! The trailer looks like it will whoop ass!

[Jerk Shapiro]

My only beef is the shitty "Where will you be?" tagline. I mean - God. From the looks of it, I'll be in either a flood, a tornado, or a blizzard.

[Duke Nukem]

Saw the first TV preview two nights ago. The movie is coming out on March 28! Only 18 days to go! I hope that this movie is Dennis Quaid's real comeback in movies.

[Christoph]

I've been seeing that poster forever. I mean at my theater ages ago.

[Deckard_HR]

This is going to be the movie of the summer- I can feel it. This has EPIC written all over it. The CGI looks incredibly realistic, the final trailer is fantastic! The cast and crew seem really excited about it...it's just gonna kick major ass. Really...either this or "Troy" will be the movies of the summer...I'm beginning to have doubts about "Van Helsing". "Day After Tomorrow" looks incredible.

[CanadianVampire]

Cant forget Spiderman 2!!

[JCPhoenix]

i cannot wait for this at all...i occasionally read tnmc script reviews, but all i can say is that that script review told me NOTHING that would indicate whether it was a good or bad movie, other than the love triangle part. For some reason, the guy seems to dislike Jake Gyllenhaal (who it hink i s a fantastic new actor), and the other thing he talks about is of course the love triangle, which i'll admit doesn't sound promising. BUT then he goes and the only other thing he talks about is how there is a lack of humor in the script. That's only three negative things (actually if you exclude the Jake Gyllenhaal thing, two), AND, this reviewer seems to be going the total opposite direction that I am. The third negative thing he talks about is that there is no humor. For god's sakes, i wanted a nice disaster pic contrasted with dramatic situations, it's exactly what i was hoping for, so this negative is actually a positive for me. That review basically told me NOTHING about the reasons why the script is supposed to be so bad...

In fact, I can't wait for the film now, and the trailer looked great.

[someguy]

I agree with the script review. Although you forgot the fact that he complained about how the characters were unlikeable(mainly Dennis Quaid)and the father and son relationship wasn't too developed. He gives very little information(about 3-4 facts)and gives about 2 or 3 positive ones. He goes on about the love triangle for nearly half of the review and then says that it's a horrible script. It wasn't a very informative review. Oh well.

[RicochetShaw]

Am I the only one that's highly skeptical of this filmy? I have very, very low expectations, seeing as it's a Emmerich film. I have never seen a good film from him*. Godzilla and Independence Day are two of my most hated films of all time, and this film seems to bear some resemblances. I really think this will suck, but I'll see it and try my best to keep an open mind.

i'm actually worried about it too still...i think it looks great and all but emmerich hasn't exactly been a solid director, or even a good one.

still, for an opposing view from Nate's of The Patriot, I thought it was pretty decent (6/10). Not great, mind you, but I thought it showed a bit more talent from Emmerich than I had previously thought he had. though some shots were right out of braveheart lol despite the centuries difference between the two movies.

[Nate6]

Originally posted by JCPhoenix

It was definitely better than his other piles of crap, but I'd probably give it a 5/10. I guess "sucks" is strong language but IMO, it isn't great.

[Moviefan1234]

Roland Emmerich's record is a little tacky. I found The Patriot to be excellent, but nothing else he has done is worth writing home about. I hope this can be good, but I find myself concerned.

[Prime Suspect]

First of all, like most of you have said, Fuck that review. This movie looks like it's going to kick some major ass. That trailer left me speechless, teary eyed, and wanting to see more. It looks absolutely gorgeous and extremely real. Not cheesy in any way. I love that one scene with the helicopter flying towards all those twisters. That sent chills down my spine. I like Jake and Dennis, they're both very good actors. This film should rock...hopefully it does.

Later

[rmarti3926]

Do me two things, Mr. Emmerich...

Make sure you give a great product here and...

Don't put up another Brent Spiner cameo, please.

Other than that, I'm going to see it opening day!

[Ferriman's Girl]

*Droools*

Man, I so want to see this! One for the fact Jake Gyllenhaal is in it, but Two, those special effects are sweet!

When I first saw the twister scene in the theatre, I nearly died! Finally another movie with a tornado disaster (Yes, I loved the movie Twister)

I love weather disasters and am thrilled to see the special effects and plus Global Warming 'will' happen, though who knows if this dramatic.

If you go onto the flash site, you can see the weather conditions of countries all over the world! It's not just twisters, floods and snow. There's hailstorms, heatwaves, lightining storms! Our ozone layer is officially screwed!

Hrmm, If San Fransisco is frozen and LA is being destroyed by Tornadoes, what does that leave for Huntington Beach?!?

Meep! I'm gonna get frozen!

[outsyder]

Canada is still really fucking cold.


I can take it.:D

[Duke Nukem]

This movie reminds of "Deep Impact," that other disaster movie where the world/cities were in peril. The difference though, nicely, is that the movie doesn't end when the disaster happens. It's all about the disaster and surviving it.

Seriously though I just saw the Trailer and it does look kick ass got my heart pumping hopefully in will live up to the rest of the movie. Disaster-survival movies are my favourite and I always check them out regardless.

[someguy]

Check out the new poster for The Day After Tomorrow here (http://www.latinoreview.com/films_2004/showest/showest-7.htm)

[idealdiscountdude]

Just saw the new trailer on E!'s Coming Attraction.

Dang, it gave me cold chills. I'm dying to see this one. Screw Spidey, Troy, and Van Helsing.....this is the event film of Summer 2004 that Im most looking forward to.

[someguy]

Loads of updates now.....

First off the other poster to The Day After Tomorrow

http://joblo.com/big-poster-images/postertomorrow2.jpg

And the other two posters

http://joblo.com/big-poster-images/poster-dayafter-3.jpg

http://joblo.com/big-poster-images/posterdat-4.jpg

A flurry of new pics came up on the net too. You can start watching all of them on JoBlo's here:

http://joblo.com/upcomingmovies/oneimage.php?id=2664&movie_id=160

Two TV spots also popped up from MSN and UGO:

http://entimg.msn.com/i/asx/movies/TheDayAfterTomorrow_TVSpot_MBR.asx

http://boss.streamos.com/wmedia/ugo/media/fox/tdat/tdat_weather_01.wvx

And a film clip also came up that Yahoo took down immediately. It's now back up and you can check it out by clicking on this little finishing part of the sentence right here (http://us.rd.yahoo.com/movies/clips/1808417410/1808565241/?http://mediaframe.yahoo.com/launch?lid=wmv-56-p.1266773-127858,wmv-100-p.1266774-127858,wmv-300-p.1266775-127858&p=movies&f=1808417410&.spid=1808565241&.dist=20th%20Century%20Fox&type=c%22,500,590);).

The website also got additions. There is a new timestamp of anomalies to the event, a film clip talking about the opening shot effect, something called 'Global Watch' which shows some of the earth's biggest storms(and has a little info on disasters in the movie), something called city freeze which basically shows famous cities freezing over from the ice age and some new layouts on the site which is basically the posters photoshopped with other cities replacing the landmarks.

One more thing: On May 12th during a showing of ID4 a 10 minute preview of The Day After Tomorrow will be shown.

The marketing for the film has started now. Let's get ready for a lot of stuff to come out.

[mattjk_17]

This movie looks like it's going to kick too much ass.

Can't wait for May 28th, count me there opening night!

[TheGodSon]

I don't know if this has been posted already but here is another trailer for The Day After Tomorrow.

http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/dayaftertomorrow/trailer2/large.html

[dellamorte dellamore]

The effects look amazing , but i'm not so sure the story or characters will keep my interest . I doubt it will matter since it looks to be a masterpiece of sight and sound , everything else is secondary .

Idea , this film does " look " better than the films you mentioned , except for Spiderman , maybe , this just may be some Academy Award material fx we are going to see , it's stunning , majestic and " beautiful " chaos has never been captured on such a grand scale . Damn , makes the fx in some of those other films look like a student film . Check out IMDB to see all the different VFX houses that combined on this effort , it's massive , some that i never even heard of , well they're going to make a name for themselves after this .


Couldn't help but get some G 98 ( and AI ) flashbacks when i saw the scenes in Manhattan . Damn , two blockbusters taking place primarily in Manhattan in one Summer , i love it .

[londonwpr]

Doesn't anyone else think this movie looks terrible? If it's anything like the atrocity that Independence Day was, count me out!

[Edie0027]

no...i think this movie looks GREAT....totally wanna see it. And based off sunday nights ratings for 10.5 of some 20 million plus viewers, i have a feeling that i am not the only one that is interested in watching this kinda stuff...its gonna be big

[Duke Nukem]

Oh, come on. ID4 wasn't that bad. It's a fairly enjoyable movie. But, whether its made by the same filmmakers or not, it shouldn't effect how good or bad "Day after..." should be.

[Mr. Fred Krueger]

I truthfully don't see the appeal of the movie. I love disaster flicks, especially when they involve Roland Emmerich, but this just looks bad. A reporter actually stands ten feet in front of a tornado and screams into a camera, "There are tornados in Los Angeles!"

Please. Even storm chasers aren't dumb enough to be ten feet in front of a tornado.:rolleyes:

[mattjk_17]

ID4 wasn't a bad movie, I really enjoyed it back in '96 and still do.

I've just seen the latest trailer, this movie just looks better and better!

[Unicron]

http://www.joblo.com/newsimages1/news-riddick-dayafter.jpg

Im SOOOO there Opening day!!!


So-long Sy-da-ney! :D

[londonwpr]

Well, I hope you other Schmoes enjoy it! I won't be there, but those of you who do go, have a good time. With all of the special effects, it would be cool to see on the big screen, but I just can't fathom spending $9 on it. I'd rather go see Eternal Sunshine again for that price.

Anyway, have a good time...

[Moviefan1234]

Here's a clip: http://www.substance001.net/the_day_after_tomorrow_clip/the_day_after_tomorrow_clip_330k.mov

[Kucha]

Awesome! Im so hyped to see this.

[Maeljin_incarna]

Just saw Day After Tomorrow. It's the mother of all disaster flicks. If you liked Deep Impact or The Core, go see this. You'll see some things that haven't been shown in a movie before.

I don't think I've ever seen someone run from frostbite before. Cool shit.

[dellamorte dellamore]

That frostbite thing can be considered a minor spoiler , but a spoiler nonetheless .


I had no doubt this would be something special , and your post makes this film even more encouraging , jjst hope the story can hold up .


Freak Troy , this is the one to see , should be a huge as hell hit , unless people are a little squeamish about seeing mother nature wreak so much havoc on such a grand scale . This thing will either be a phenomenom or will underwhelm at the box office , i go with the latter . Only bad thing is that the films that come after it , the CGI reliant ones , will have a hard time following it's lead .


And plus , this film has the one bad ass character that can't be beat , the forces of nature , a nameless , faceless , impartial entity that kills without prejudice , it's way primal .

POSSIBLE SPOILERS IN THIS POST SO BEWARE

I have five questions about the movie

1) In the trailers it shows a big cyclone from space. What is that from? Is it just one storm or the whole thing?

2) Because LA gets twisters, does it mean that LA becomes a barren twister land where twisters just keep going and never stop?

3) How many more destruction pieces are there other than New Delhi, LA, New York and Tokyo?

4) In the trailer it shows two helicopters flying over something and one crashes. What are they flying over?

5) Does the movie follow every other disaster movie and try to find a way to stop the global warming or does it just say "This has happened and we can't change everything back to normal?"

[Maeljin_incarna]

SPOILERS EMPORIUM!!!

Answers to someguy's questions (from what I remember):

1)I don't remember the trailer for the film so you either mean the computer representation used in the movie or a shot from an orbiting spacestation showing one of the hurricane-like storms. (I believe there were three.)

2)The tornados move on or break apart (they don't specify which) leaving LA in ruins.

3)I don't remember any others. The majority of the movie takes place in Manhattan so you get to see a lot of destruction there. The other locations are just relatively short scenes. Be happy with what you get.

4)They're flying through the eye of one of the storms (which is more that 100° below zero) which causes their fuel lines to freeze and the aircrafts to plummet.

5)"This has happened and we can't change everything back to normal." Global warming brings on a new ice age. There's no logical way to reverse that. I really liked that about the film.

I hope I've answered your questions decently enough.

It was the space station scene...not the computer representation. If there were three than HOLY CRAP :eek:

2)The tornados move on or break apart (they don't specify which) leaving LA in ruins.

So they eventually stop altogether then. I questioned it since there was a shot of LA in absolute ruins and a twister looking like it is breaking apart. Plus the whole area looked different.

3)I don't remember any others. The majority of the movie takes place in Manhattan so you get to see a lot of destruction there. The other locations are just relatively short scenes. Be happy with what you get.

Of course I'll be happy with what I get :)

4)They're flying through the eye of one of the storms (which is more that 100° below zero) which causes their fuel lines to freeze and the aircrafts to plummet./QUOTE]

I see. So what did they crash in since they were in the eye of the storm? Clouds or snow?

5)"This has happened and we can't change everything back to normal." Global warming brings on a new ice age. There's no logical way to reverse that. I really liked that about the film.
[/B]

That gets me even more pumped for it. I am so sick of this "Let's use nukes" way of stopping the destruction.

Just a few more questions....

How hard did the movie hammer its message of global warming?
Did the message really effect you in any way?
If you read the script review, how do you disagree/agree with it?
Best scene in the movie? :D

Reasonably hard, but not consistently.

No, not really. I never really considered global warming bringing on a new ice age, though. That blew my mind.

Never read it.

SPOILER ALERT!!

Best scene goes to: The tornados in California. The whole thing was done very well (especially when the newscaster gets killed). But I thought all the disaster scenes were extremely well done. Many "Holy Shit!"-inspiring moments.

[MadsenOMC]

I sure as hell hope it's better than The Core. That movie is one huge piece of shit, although it was good for some unintentional laughs.

[Maeljin_incarna]

Well, I thought The Core was better than Armageddon and way too many people liked that hunk of cinematic garbage.

So who will be watching the 10 minute preview tonight?!

In case you don't know it's on at around 8-9ish on Fox so watch it!

Hey no argument here. The Core is 1,000,000,000 times better than Armageddon.

I just saw the 10 minute preview and it was great. Gets me even more hyped now for it. The twisters actually looked a lot better than what I thought they would be like(looked dodgy in the trailers). Plus I found out that the opening scene with the camera going over the ice shelf and the credits came on was all CG :eek:

the preview looked good, xcep the ice scene in the beginning with quaid and his crew. not exciting and VERY cheesy. still looks fun though.
btw
the core: *1/2
armageddon: ***1/2

WWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

You have to remember that the scene might have been edited down. It was obvious to me that scenes were cut down for time.

Was it really? I din't see the preview, but they advertised "the first ten minutes". It could be the case that it literally is the first ten minutes of the actual film.

Well it was not the first 10 minutes. The scene lasted about 2 to 3 minutes before it switched to other things.

Although I got to see that Forstbite chase scene and it looks cool.

I will definitley be going to check out this movie. It looks like a totally great movie. The special effects look amazing. Also not to mention that there is some truth to the fact that this could happen on this earth one day so that makes it even more interesting.
