Title: Baby, it's cold outside
Post by: Blue Kitty on 28 Aug 2009, 10:09

So, Whiteout (http://www.traileraddict.com/trailer/whiteout/trailer) is coming out soon.  At least that's what the TV tells me with all the commercials.

I loved the two graphic novels, but I'm not quite sure how I feel about the movie.  They seem to be playing up some sort of supernatural element with the cold.

I don't know about the graphic novels, but by watching a lot of Discovery and NatGeo on Antarctica I can get the impression that this movie's shit is for real. Well, except for the supernatural thing, I guess.

Yay, a Whiteout thread! (Though I won't have much to contribute to this until I actually see the movie when it comes out in September). The trailer was alright, but one major difference in the movie is that they replaced the Lily Sharpe character with a male (Gabriel Macht) in order to make Whiteout seem more appealing to moviegoers.

That's kind of a sign to me that the movie won't be faithful to the comic... but we'll see! I'm also kind of offended because I wouldn't ever have a problem watching an action movie with two strong female leads. Ugh, sexism maybe?
