Next Gets a Trailer
Hollywood is set to crap all over yet another Philip K. Dick story come this April, as Next, an adaptation of his short, The Golden Man, hits screens. Watching this trailer gave me horrible flashbacks to The Island, as what should be an exciting sci-fi piece quickly degenerates into an endless series of CG car parts flying everywhere. You’d think with all the money they no doubt dumped into this project, they could’ve scraped together enough to include the mutants and dystopian setting of the original. Instead what we get is Nicolas Cage, and his majestically flowing hair-piece, narrowly escaping one disaster after another. That sucking sound you’re now hearing is the entirety of the internet collectively yawning at once.
It seems that Philip K. Dick has had some unfortunate luck with movies in recent years. But seeing as how he’s been dead since the eighties, it’s pretty forgivable. What exactly is Nic Cage’s excuse?
Bore yourself to death with the trailer here.
