UK TRAILER FOR GRAVITY


Considering that this doesn't open in the UK until the 8th of November and that I've already seen trailers for it in UK cinemas, I'm not sure why this is necessary. It reveals much more than any of the recent trailers or clips since the first few, but I don't think it gives away any major spoilers. Then again, I wouldn't know what those spoilers are, since I've been avoiding them since this premiered last week. But it still looks fantastic.

  1. Yep. It is trying to show too much, having already shown enough for us to be super-excited. WB are just pushing for extra bucks, gotta be, right?

    Coming to Cinematography, a quick premature analysis on awards' season -

    1. We know Emmanuel Lubezki is gonna be nominated, dead lock. Question is, will it be his year? Just wish he could get some billing for his stellar work on To the Wonder too. Guess, Cameron will be right again this year with a highly likely digital photography win.

    2. After Inside Llewyn Davis' stellar reception and having seen the trailers, images shot by Bruno Delbonnel looks fantastic. Lighting looks so unique and different.

    3. Anthony Dod Mantle looks to be in great shape after an enthusiastic early reception to Rush receiving some healthy photography applause.

    Sight unseen, based on trailers, am going with -

    4. Stuart Dryburgh, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Looks immensely beautiful.

    5. Sean Bobbitt, 12 Years a Slave. Am seeing last year's Bob Richardson nomination here. Not so convinced though. Could he surge some attention for Oldboy as well remains to be seen.

    Below the bubble line -
    6. Hoyte van Hoytema, Her
    7. Barry Ackroyd, Captain Phillips
    8. Frank G. DeMarco, All is Lost
    9. Roger Deakins, The Prisoners
    10. Rodrigo Prieto, The Wolf of Wall Street
    11. Dariusz Wolski, The Counselor
    There are many more and sure to change once the seasons unfolds.
    Philippe Le Sourd's amazing work on The Grandmaster will be sourly forgotten.

    And btw when are you beginning your official predictions? After TIFF? Bring 'em on, looking forward to 'em.

    1. Official predictions a long way off yet! I never make predictions until later in the year.

      Your cinematography picks are sound, particularly Sean Bobbitt. He's not only highly talented, he's also gaining fame within the cinematography community. But I'm more optimistic on Philippe le Sourd's chances than you. That's the kind of work people surely won't forget, and with TWC behind a Wong Kar Wai film, I imagine The Grandmaster might remain in the conversation for months yet to come.

      I desperately hope it's finally Emmanuel Lubezki's year. It's all about digital photography as far as Oscar voters are concerned atm, and the pertinent matches between Best Cinematography and Best Visual Effects in recent years ought to favour Gravity's chances, as it must be the Visual Effects Oscar frontrunner.

    2. Ok. Agreed. It would be great if The Grandmasters' photography stays in conversation in the season.
