It's A Bright, Bright SUNSHINE-y Clip!!
Merrick here...
The SUNSHINE site has posted an actual clip of the film! You can see the footage HERE; it launches as soon as the page loads. It's a buncha people staring at the sun, sort of like a jeans commercial.
I'm not sure what's happening here (yes, I now they're watching Mercury pass before the Sun...I mean beyond that...), but I can't wait. The 28 DAYS LATER folks doing a space movie has to be at least some kind of cool, no?
In case you missed the trailer for the film, here it is:
You can also read some very early reviews HERE and HERE. The movies arrives in April.

Oh yeah!

I trust Danny Boyle with just about anything. He got it out of his system with that horrid Cameron Diaz movie, and now he just makes cool shit. I even like The Beach.
-
It really is!
-
That fucking guy must be rolling in royalties now! Wow, another recycle on the Requiem soundtrack!
-
It was great, but it is way overused.
-
dude... as far as I know, the SUN doesn't have a MOON orbiting it... and the guy in the clip also says "Mercury"... so my guess would be, they're passing Mercury on their way to the sun, and they're just enjoying the amazing sight like anyone else would
-
Please be really good. Sci-fi fans need this.
-
as the "Dragon - The Bruce Lee Story" love theme was during the 90's in trailers.
-
SUNSHINE GOTTA EAT! Where is Mori's Zodiac review?
-
yes, that's exactly what I meant. they're not STARING AT THE SUN, they're STARING AT MERCURY IN FRONT OF THE SUN
-
Phucking QTime scum.
-
I enjoyed that. I watched the transit of Mercury across the Sun myself on a dive boat in the Red Sea in 2004. Didnt look like that. Looked like a small dot on the sun. Wished it had looked like that. Count me in.
-
Suicide mission. Just robotically handle it. Send a bunch. Dur. Guess Icarus 1 was the robot experiment. Looks like this'll be a long movie about a ship taking way too long to burn the hell up.
-
Now this is a movie to be REALLY excited about!
WOW WOW WOW!
Can't wait. -
I'm ready for an adult sci-fi film. There are just too few of them currently.
-
Totally not relevant, but Boyle's good. Even if there's not any dialogue in any of these clips/trailers, at least the visuals look cool.
-
I bet Icarus 2 is full of Beef-a-roni & lighters. "Get ta eatin' boys, we don't got much time left!" Also, I predict at the end of the movie, after saving the world, we will hear "Sunshine Of Your Love" play as the credits roll.
-
God. I am so witty! Anyhoo, looking forward to this. :)

Dont get me wrong I love Danny Boyle, but a space odyssey might be too much for him too handle. "Mission to Mars" proved that for Brian De Palma, "Solaris" for Steven Soderbergh...to be honest I cant remember the last time I saw a space movie that I enjoyed...I think "Event Horizon" back in '97 was the last one, 10 fucking years ago, that was the last time, there hasnt been anything since, so I'm a little on the fence about this one...a mission to bring back the sun???? That right there doesnt really make sense to me. And the name "Sunshine"? Why not just call it "Sun" or something a little less gay? But regardless of those things the trailer does look kinda badass and Danny Boyle is a good director so may he can pull it off, but I'm still on the fence...MovieGeek out...peace.
-
Because Danny Boyle isn't a homophobe?
-
The problem with "Mission To Mars" and "Solaris" was the directors, it was the scripts. Both of those films needed a few rewrites before moving ahead. You do realize that you just said that De Palma and Soderbergh were incapable of handling a space odyssey but Paul W.S. Anderson was? I like Event Horizon, don't get me wrong, but you can hardly say that the directors of Blow Out, Phantom of the Paradise, Sex Lies And Videotape, and The Limey are not as talented as the director of Resident Evil and Alien vs. Predator.
-
Bring out the Aerosmith!
-
I wish I wouldn't have watched it.
-
And everything else in its path. Asses shall be owned when this comes out.
-
I dont think that Anderson is a better director than De Palma or Soderbergh, but I do think that he has a better understanding of the genre, he's a sci-fi director, he's made shit since "Event Horizon" but he knows the genre much better than De Palma or Soderbergh. Do I like him more? HELL NO! De Palma is one of my favorite directors of all time, he is the king of thrillers! But "Mission to Mars" was one of the worst films I have ever seen. And you might be right Boromir187, that maybe it needed a few re-writes, but I also think that De Palma was out of his element. The same goes for Steven, he's not a sci-fi director, and not many directors can jump genres and still be at the top of their game...only one comes to mind STANLEY KUBRICK...and now the question is, "Can Danny Boyle jump genres?" I dont know, but De Palma and Sody couldn't, so this leaves me on the fence, but I will go and see it with an open mind...MovieGeek out...peace

I think jjn1268019 has a point that most directors can only handle what they're good at, although I'd add Ridley Scott to that Kubrick list and to some degree Paul Veerhoven and David Fincher.
Oliver Stone, for example, once said that he didn't like his first two movies because they were horror movies and he doesn't feel he has what it takes to do horror. I kind of agree with him. That said, sci-fi is unlike most other genres (except maybe Fantasy) in that it's not actually a genre as such but more of a setting. A sci-fi could be a horror, comedy, drama, thriller or porn movie. Just because it's set in the future or in space doesn't make it any different. So technically, if Danny Boyle just sticks to his guns and does what he's best at it'll kick ass no matter. -
If the sun really we're dying, the only way to revitalize it is with a huge payload of Hydrogen to re kickstart it's nuclear fusion. And even if we gathered up every atom of it on the planet and in the atmosphere, we wouldn't have near enough of it to make a difference.
If the sun started to die, we'd just all be screwed. Luckily, it's not scheduled to kick the bucket for another few billion years, in which time we may be able to prepare. (more likely humanity will just be extinct, though. Or, on a good day, evolved beyond all recognition. Didn't Voyager say we'd all turn into salamanders once?) -

I strongly disagree that sci-fi is merely a setting rather than a genre. In fact, I think that's where many directors fall over - treating the sc-fi element as just a backdrop for another type of story.
REAL science-fiction cannot exist without it's scientific elements, which are inextricably entwined with plot and character.
Take a film like Blade Runner - a good example of real science fiction - its story hinges upon the specutive element of the Replicants. It is immersed in its sci-fi, and is much more than just the backdrop for a tragic love story.
That's real science fiction. Everything else is just space opera. -
and it kicks ass. lick on "New Trailer- Kaneda"
I had no interest in this movie whatsoever until I just watched that. WTF it's like theres a whole element of the story I wasnt aware of.
I can't want to see this now. -

-
but i feel jipped that i didnt see that before, and it should be posted in this article
this movie is going to kick all kinds of ass. -
No, really. "Dude, are you being sarcastic?"
-
Well Bladerunner is maybe not the best example since it's a very specific subgenre of sci-fi,Cyberpunk, which kind of has its own rules (like a theme concerning man turning into machine/machine turning into man, heavy philosophical thoughts, etc) but I do see your point. I'm not saying it's exclusively a setting, and it is generally treated as a genre, but to be descriptive of how it's treated (as opposed to prescriptive); it is a genre that works pretty much as a setting. Take War of the Worlds for instance. That could easily be remade without alien attackers if the main characters were tribesmen and the attackers had guns or tanks or helicopters. the fact that the attackers are from mars or have tentacles doesn't really matter.
-
I'll definitely go see this, but the premise of these disaster movies just keeps getting more ridiculous. We've done volcanoes, asteroids, "global warming," nukes (DAMNATION ALLEY), and even the freakin EARTH'S CORE, how do we go bigger? The SUN, of course! Take out the entire solar system! Next up, crisis in the galaxy's nucleus, and the USS CYGNUS II is dispatched to kickstart the black hole's gravity in there. Or something.
-
and what is up with 28 Weeks Later anywho?
-
Just don't do it.
-
All i can think now from the first minute when the Movie starts in Theater is ... SOMETHING. And so you will !
-
incidentally, is cillian murphy an alien, or just the result of a lonely irishwoman's tryst with abe sapien?
-
Could be the exact same movie, but as long as it says Danny Boyle instead of Bay or Bruckheimer, it will be loved.
-
Ohh wait ... Kaneda doesn't agree with you !
-
Apart from being a tad on the bold side for restarting the sun and near impossible feat the name is dreadfull sunshock would have been better and thats just off the top of my head.
Don't look at the sun it will hurt your eyes. -
If you were going to build a spacecraft that will determine the fate of mankind, would you name it after a mythological character who DIED because he basically got stupid? In the Greek legend, it was Daedalus who survived and made it to freedom, while his son Icarus fell to his death. Daedalus warned Icarus not to fly too high because the sun would melt the wax holding the feathers to their fabricated wings. But noooo. Icarus did it anyway and paid the ultimate price. Why not call the ship the Titanic and be done with it. Oh well, I'm still looking forward to this movie.
-
Did I see the "actor" who played the Human Torch in that trailer? Why is he still allowed to be in movies? He was maybe the worst thing about the FF movie, and that's saying something.
-
"something a little less gay" is already taken for the sequel to Brokeback Mountain
-
Looks great from the trailer and Trainspotting and 28 Days Later were very good movies, so.. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that this will be big..
-
Best visual effects 1968 and boring as all hell. That sequence says nothing but that the visuals are there, but the story's back on Earth.
-
Trainspotting was adolescent nonsense saved by great acting, and the second half of 28 Days Later was unwatchable - what's *this* film got going for it? A script that wouldn't have been considered original 30 years ago?
The reason Soderbergh's Solaris didn't work was that he injected too much warmth into it, it missed the dispassionate, clinical feel of the original. Other than that, it was a good effort, I thought. -
she says she's HOT!
-
thank you for making movies. This is my most anticipated movie this year, and please Danny stay away from Hollywood.
-
Can't wait for this one. About time we get a decent hard scifi film again. It was a lean period since .....wait, what was the last good hard scifi movie? Had to be Space Odyssee.
-
Damn it. You're right, obviously, but why'd you have to remind me?
-
Was that The Cube they were sliding down at one point?
-
from what I just saw, this movie looks pretty freakin original. at first i was thinking "ok, its The Core, but at the sun". Now you realize its a movie about people on a suicide mission. How does a group of people flying to their deaths cope with the 18 month wait? How do they cope with dieing to hopefully save the earth? And...now that I know ::SPOILER FROM KANEDA TRAILER::, I can't WAIT to see this flick.
-
The feeling I'm getting from what I have seen and read about this , is that it might be similar in feel to Solaris .
I just hope to good God that that is not the way its going .
I HATED Solaris with a passion . I never understood how 3 rights made a wrong on that one .
Soderberg+Clooney+Sci-fi = boring tripe .
I know some people might say . "yeah but you obviously understand it . It was all about existentialism and love and loss and what if that lost love came back to you and what if everything you wanted in the universe was given to you and blah blah blah blah blah . "
It was about as exciting as waiting for a bus . It bored me to fucking tears .
So once again , PLEASE don't let this be in any way similar to Solaris .
I think Danny Boyle is one of the most diverse and interesting directors out there and I would be seriously pissed off if this turned out similar to that shite .
Also any news on 28 weeks Later ??
-
The movie had no flaws to me. And Sunshine is going to rule. Clone Danny Boyle and let the clones flood the market with movies.. please... this movie will own
-
Johnny Storm to tell the sun to "Flame On!"?
-
there is no better rapresentation of a zombie than a man in a uniform..
-
was a complete Day of the Dead ripoff in every fucking way there is. The original intended ending didn't even include the army base or anything. My guess is, they decided the ending wasn't good enough, watched a few movies and said "Hey! let's just remake DotD for the third act".
-
So wait, he DIDN'T die in a minefield in vietnam? That was just a cover up for a space program?!??!!?! RIGHTEOUS!!! THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!!!
-
And I think I'll watch it again tonight.
-
Looks great! Chris Evans in a non Johnny Storm role.
-
This isn't just about a mission to save the sun... as they get closer, they start having strange visions and hallucinations, supposedly caused by God. Or something like that.
