What Is COLLIDER?
Nordling here.
COLLIDER, besides being a decent movie website, is also a mysterious new project that was announced today, according to Deadline. It's going to be directed by Edgar Wright, who will co-write the script with Mark Protosevich (I AM LEGEND), and will be produced by JJ Abrams' Bad Robot production company.
So what is COLLIDER about? No one is saying, but I have the sneaking suspicion that at some point one object will come into physical contact with another object with sufficient force as to cause a kind of reaction. Everyone's being sworn to secrecy, but COLLIDER will be an original science fiction film, and with Edgar Wright involved I'd imagine that he's found an interesting story to tell.
No word on how this affects THE WORLD'S END or ANT-MAN - THE WORLD'S END is scheduled to open next year and ANT-MAN sometime after, likely, so Wright just might be getting all his projects in a row insuring that he's gainfully employed for the next few years. But now Wright fans are curious to discover what COLLIDER is all about, and I can't wait to find out.

Isn't this the one about the CERN project? They do something on earth, and then all of the sudden, the Earth completely disappears, much to the dismay of everyone on board the space station?

What about a near future sci-fi/adventure/comedy about sentient AI crash test dummies? Simon Pegg and Nick Frost for the voices of the robotic crash dummies
by lv_426
These two robo-dummies get sick of being smashed to bits day in and day out, so they escape into the real world and are pursued by the authorities. The problem is they think they can drive, but realize that they were never really driving during their time in the crash test lab they have lived and worked in for the current duration of their robotic lives. Much robo-antics and comedic destruction ensues. Basically this is Edgar Wright's Short Circuit.

It's about a guy who buys a brand new car. He slowly descends into paranoia and madness as he worries over getting the first scratch, ding, chip, stain, or any other possible assault to his new car's pristine condition. I believe they're in talks with Paul Giamatti to play the unhappy car owner. Alright, sorry. I'm completely full of shit. Again, sorry.

by maxcherry

but just different enough to not get sued! Fuck it, Valve dropped the ball on the project anyway, just like Microsoft with Halo. The movies would have been huge, and had big name talent (PJ, Blomkamp, Tarantino) attached to it as well. But both refused to give up enough control to make Hollywood studios willing to go in with them.

creepy, I didn't HATE TDKR.......but that was fucking beautiful!
by Blarg Barfington
*****SPOILERS!****** And I agree with every single point, plus a whole lot more I'm sure we both noticed. For instance, the impossible to escape pit with the handhold and foothold lined wall and the rope and pulley and ledges all over it. A whiney Batman that hates being Batman. Alfred who obviously has some sort of emotional outburst problem. Wayne being a cold fuck who tells his only true friend to fuck of for no real reason. An SEC that's too stupid to realize that stock trades that occur while the stock exchange is under seige by a terrorist group probably shouldn't be considered legitimate. A fusion bomb that inexplicably has a giant digital ciountdown clock on the side that magically keeps track of the core degrading to the second. A helicopter that flies 6 miles per minute to get rid of the bomb. The film doesn't actually show what happens immediately after the bomb explodes. The shockwave that does massive damage to Gotham and the ensueing radiation. Hey, maybe that's how Nolan can justify Killer Croc! Bane who sounds like Sean Connery reading Dr. Suess to 2nd graders and who's plan is to kick back for half a year and wander around Gotham whistling show tunes. 3,000 police living under ground getting food lowered down to them and assumedly living amongst their own feces. But then popping out of the ground and feeling totally up to going to war. Apparently the best way to kidnap someone is to wait until they board a plane, lasso the plane, saw the wings and tail off, then drop the plane. And apparently anyone who is an orphan can look into the face of another orphan and know they are Batman. I guess it's an orphan thing. It makes complete sense that instead of pursueing and capturing the guys who just made a terrorist attack on the stock market, you divert all units to taking down Batman. And when in a jam, just shoot a car loader and you can magically jump to another highway, thus foiling the keystone cops. Because they don't have radios or anything. And while you're at it, send every single cop in the city into the same entrance to the sewers at the same time. Gordon is in the truck with the bomb when it's smashed all to shit and when the back door opens, he hops out like he just went to the store. So Talia and Bane both hated Ra's...until Batman killed him. Then they both decided to sacrifice their lives to fulfill his plan? There is just so much SHIT in this movie! It's like Nolan left the franchise after TDK and this is the result of the studio bringing in McG or someone to try and mimic his style, but forgetting to have it make fucking sense.

It is a biopic about Stevie Ray aka "The Super Collider"
by Obi Wanna Cannoli
The legendary wrestler from the WCW tag team Harlem heat (along with his brother Booker T). It will be heartfelt movie about the rise of Stevie and Booker from lowly beginnings to their multiple WCW tag team championships. You get to not only see his signature moves like Backbreaker, Sidewalk Slam, and Sidekicker but he will insult his opponents with the classic Stevie Ray tagline, "You are a bunch of fruit booties!" Seeing this being from JJ Abrahamalokowitz's Bad Robot studios gives me confidence in it's authenticity and heavy use of lens flares.
-
That was HILARIOUS! Can't wait for the re-boot to start next week where we find out that Batmans parents died when he was a little boy but he is now a millionaire and becomes Batman to enact revenge over his parents and has to then go out and recapture Scarecrow who is still on the lose from the third movie. Bales eye wart can play Batman and the chick from the Exorcist can do the voice. Hey it worked for Spiderman! Seriously rolling in millions as an A list Hollywood actor and your too cheep to get rid of the eye wart? What a douch! But everyone knows Bale is a douch. The eye wart pulled me out of the movie along with the myriad of plot holes but for me having to climb out of the prison pit without the rope is the point where I really checked out. Talk about on the nose!

Jesus, I didn't know you were capable of writing anything more than a screaming subject line. It makes me wonder why you do that, when obviously you have a mind. I agree with almost everything you said. But since that was your only intelligent post that I've ever read, I still have no choice but to consider you a giant dumbfuck troll whose dick is stained by his mother's feces. I implore you, though, to give up the giant screaming subject lines and the tired, tired, tired "Fact" device and start writing intelligently more often. Until then, this is the only time I will ever address you, because your usual antics don't merit my attention, and I always feel like I'm lowering myself by acknowledging you. That's kind of sad, since you can obviously be a better contributor. Instead, you choose to troll a talkback about Sage Stallone's death. You are beneath us, and don't have the courage to rise above being a detestable, pusillanimous abomination of a human being.

I really don't get the hate for "The Dark Knight Rises" on AICN
by Jake Pantlin
Almost everyone I know that has seen it has loved it, but when I come to AICN, everyone bitches about it. Is it just s geek thing? The masses love it, but the geeks all cry because Batman doesn't have a yellow oval on his chest, or something silly like that. The geeks bitching amounts to nothing but 12 year olds who didn't get the Batman they always dreamed of (and probably will never get). Just ridiculous. The movie was great, and I plan on seeing it again this week.
-
There are those of you on this goddamn thing that would bitch about getting a handjob from a blonde Chinese prostitute with big tits because her hand was too big. Let's face it, if THE DARK KNIGHT RISES followed every goddamn bullet point you had scribbled down over the last two years in your Mead spiral notebook entitled "THE WAY THE WORLD OUGHT TO BE", you'd still find fifty things to bitch and grouse about. That's your way, it gets you attention, maybe validates your inscrutable "vision" that no one in real life would ever pay a second of attention to and you put off your impending suicide for another day. Hell, Harry got to actually post his version on his own Web site! Hmmmmm, maybe there's something to it, after all ...
-
I really have little interest in TDKR one way or the other, and that post of yours has no place in this particular topic. Still, thank you. That was just about the single greatest thing I've ever read here.
-
July 24, 2012, 1:30 a.m. CST
@atheron, actually Nolan's Batman films are based off of actual storylines in the Batman comics, I've read several of those that Nolan has cited as influences for each project and the movies follow closely to what is in the comics….
by maxcherry
so if these AICN talk backers want to hate TDKR, then they need to hate the Batman comics

by Domi'sInnerChild
But I enjoyed the rest of your points. I kinda liked the movie (no real desire to see it again however), but it's unfortunate it was more a check your brain at the door superhero flick than a well made action/suspense movie that just happened to have Batman in it.

Bionic Wall Breaking Leg Brace... maybe make a battle suit?
by Domi'sInnerChild
All the tech really seemed off for something trying desperately to be rooted in reality. The countdown timer on the bomb only one random Russian scientist can disarm, the magical identity remover, the Wall Street attack, the Camo Tumbers being essentially road blocks, the explosive concrete project, the "hidden" underground fusion reactor, the chancy plane lasso, etc.

Let's be honest kids, ALL the Nolan batman movies sucked...
by I Hope You Die
In the first one he goes to "study crime" in some Far East prison hell hole after his parents are killed (wtf?) then Liam Neeson trains him to be a ninja. He comes back to Gotham and exchanges some of the worst dialogue in human history with Katie Holmes and Liam Neeson comes and mumbles some stuff about how the League of Shadows likes to destroy cities. Oh, and there's a guy who wears a sack on his head to scare people. In the Dark Knight Heath Ledger as the Joker explains the plot to everyone he meets. "Hi, I'm the Joker, I'm just like Batman!" Just in case you don't get it, Alfred also explains the concept. Nobody cares until the Joker kills Gordon (who isn't really dead) and then everyone goes nuts and flips out. There's a bunch of stuff about people on boats. Lucius Fox gets angry about surveillance (apparently okay with vigilantism though). Then at the end Batman's like "chase me! chase me!"remembers they exist.

Practically all of JJ Abrams' projects are "secret projects", and nearly all of them are a pile of shit.
by papabendi
and the perennially over rated, faux early Raimi, that is Edgar Wright is involved, I feel like fucking puking up at the thought of what utter mindless shit they will produce between them. A bouncing pile of over sold wankery.
-
It's obnoxious. Super 8 was kept secret for so long and it was completely average and nothing about that movie was served better by the secrecy.
-
what a dumb movie ... what a dissapointment!
-
Batman Begins had some bizarre things in it like the water vaporizer that only vaporizes SOME water and apparently nbobody in Gotham showers which is why nobody felt the effects of the inhalants. And then there was the weirdness of Batman dressing as he does to paralyze criminals with fear......but then later on people ATTACK him because they are afraid of him. Okaaaaaay. And also Al Ghul saying justice is balance because "You burned my house down and left me for dead. I'm here to return the favor". Well actually Bruce SAVED him. So wouldn't balance be to drag him outside at least? Then of course Scarecrow takes the assistant DA and says "Here's my whole evil plan nobody would know about until it was too late." But whatever, both brilliant films. The Dark Knight is practically perfect and one of my favorite films of all time. Unfortunately TDKR doubles down on bullshit plot holes. That can cause serious eyestrain from eyerolling. Believe me I really, REALLY want to love TDKR and in fact I might go see it again in an effort to convince myself it's really a masterpiece. Wish me luck!

He didn't KIL Ra's, although I agree it was morally ambiguous not to save him
by Blarg Barfington
Batman would have saved him. There's a much stronger case for him killing Two Face, but remember, Joker said that was "the one rule you'll have to break". So in that respect Joker did break Batman. And I fucking love that. But it wasn't like he ran up and shot Harvey in the face, he acted to save Gordon's son. And he may have tried to save Harvey too but wasn't able to.

this will turn out to be some generic nonsense. they will use the LHC and unleash some sort of worldwide disaster or open a portal to another world, or even bring dinosaurs back. the only intelligent, excellent use of the LHC concept was the brilliant TV series FlashForward, what a shame they cancelled it.
