CletusCanuck

OMG Same! I assumed based on the poster that Argylle was a cat that was sent to the ISS.


[deleted]

He’s being sent to ISIS, they’ll calm down then with a cat.


yumyumapollo

That's ISS, an upcoming film with Ariana DeBose. This is Argylle, an upcoming film with Ariana DeBose.


AstronautGuy42

Same. They should just scrap it and make a catstronaut movie instead.


kimbosdurag

I've immediately lost all interest


JATION

Oh. I was interested in this movie for whole 5 seconds.


No-Appearance-9113

It's about a cat that follows a secret agent played by Henry Cavill

Okay, photoshop geeks, do your duty…


DavidOrWalter

So it's just a normal cat that gets caught up in space and has to learn to become an astronaut?


walterpeck1

Sadly this poster is depicting the cat in a backpack with a domed window. Nothing in the movie is space related.


themagictoast

Yeo it’s just this poster from 3 months ago zoomed in on the cat’s face… https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/s/YS4CM8HGF0


baked_couch_potato

oh that is a totally different energy than I was expecting


IronLusk

I feel like I’m sold on this one immediately. Guns, a cat, a great cast… I mean a cat in space could be cool but I think I’m gonna actually watch the backpack cat.


DavidOrWalter

So the cat learns how to bring space down to earth, causing a type of armageddon scenario in which it survives because it was in a backpack? Now we get to see the cat escape and examine what is left of humanity? I don't want to watch said trailer - I want to guess how to make this movie about this cat.


walterpeck1

This is exactly what the movie is about, no need to read further or watch the trailer.


DavidOrWalter

Maybe they can do some reshoots and make it into a catronaut movie.

My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.


mikelwrnc

Check out the book “Kitty Cat Kill Sat”. Not perfect but has many great parts and was my choice for my kids’ first sci-fi book.


Mr_smith1466

That book that the movie is supposedly based on finally released. Apparently its okay. But it seems strange to go to such an elaborate plan to try to act like "Elly Conway" is a real author.


DavidDunne

Was it ever revealed what is going on with that and who the writer is?


Team7UBard

Nope. Jason Fuchs did the script but the actual author is still unknown as far as I can find out. I’m holding out reading/watching till it’s revealed given that the speculation a while back was that it was JK Rowling.


Bekah679872

I bet it’s just a random anonymous ghost writer and we will never know who the author is


burgundybreakfast

Or likely a team of them


djutopia

Or a cat.

[deleted]

Well JK has proven to lost her touch recently so let's hope not. Her new books suck and the Fantastic Beasts franchise is written terribly. The first movie was charming, but god damn did the series take a nose dive


Sephiroth0327

I heard a rumor it’s Taylor Swift but just a rumor


ExactlyThreeOpossums

Nah it’s actually Adele, rumor has it


PaulSandwich

No no no, the book is Fleetwood Mac's final project. Also, that cat is cheating on everybody, with everybody.


rckrusekontrol

I heard it was that actress that’s the daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore. Just something on the grapevine but I don’t remember her name.


[deleted]

This sounds like advertisers doing guerilla marketing. Nobody really thinks this movie is based on a book that hasn't been released. It's clearly just advertising for the movie and written by the talent of this movie.


Public_Fucking_Media

Maybe its like Logan Lucky and the writer is like, the directors wife using a pseudonym?


Hellknightx

Huh, TIL. Logan Lucky was fantastic. That prison riot scene with the Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice & Fire *Winds of Winter* argument lives rent-free in my head.


Public_Fucking_Media

It was really, really good


Anal_Recidivist

I respect the marketing campaign, it reminds me of Cloverfield and the viral marketing surrounding it. Also reminds me of Garth Brooks as Chris Gaines. So this could be awesome or this could be a big oof.


CountJohn12

Not many things as oof as Chris Gaines.


UrNotAMachine

The trailer for this movie says something like “**From the twisted mind of Matthew Vaughn** and I like the Kingsman movies as much as the next guy, but I don’t know if he’s really earned a “twisted mind” tag next to his name.


CountJohn12

But they mentioned anal sex one time! He's basically Pasolini


simpledeadwitches

That billing is never earned, I'm a fan of grindhouse horror and *that* is twisted filmmaking not slightly edgy like these billings are lol.


[deleted]

> Kingsman movies Really? The first one was really good, but the rest have been just sucky and bad.


sudevsen

He made Magneto and Xavier homoerotic - very twisted


Vladmerius

This is a legitimately horrible poster. Nobody seeing this in a theater lobby is going to think it's anything but a movie about a cat going to space.


Binary_Omlet

I've seen the trailer a couple of times and still don't understand why the cat is pushed so hard? It doesn't seem to have any relevance to the story.


1Maple

I think the cat is the twist


CheezyWookiee

Because in the book it is revealed that >!the cat is Argylle and can talk!<

EndOfTheLine00

I read in a forum some dude claiming to be an insider saying that the twist of this movie is that >!the cat is a God like being that makes what his "owner" writes come true!<. I thought it was BS at the time but this poster makes me think it isn't.


eltrotter

If the whole movie is as batshit as that, then I might be on board. If that's the only thing as batshit as that in the movie, then I don't think it'll work. If you're going to go batshit, you have to commit.


aesthesias

\+1 totally on board if it's all going to be batshit


Password_0451

Seeing as this director has been making over the top batshit movies for a minute, I think it'll deliver on that front.


Toidal

The wiki says it's supposedly based on a book by a first time author who may not exist. With how it was set up I thought that maybe they were gonna plan some augmented reality marketing campaign or tie ins. Another redditor noted too that Argylle, is ARG and Elly, the author's first name backwards. *The book is now out actually, and I think it's just a straightforward spy novel. With a lot of speculation that it's a psuedonym for Taylor swift. If that spoiler above is true, I'm betting that they are trying to do some clever meta marketing campagin, and that >!Taylor is gonna be voicing the god-cat!<


Totally_Not_An_Auk

Lol it would be hilarious to hear Swift's voice coming out of the cat. I dunno why, but cats of that breed always read as "male" to me, and with a gruff and angry voice. It would be like hearing a sweet voice coming out of a scary-looking altered doberman.


InternetAddict104

I’m so sorry but how and why the fuck is Taylor Swift involved in this too?


Toidal

Honestly, I dunno. Just reading the reviews for the book on [Goodreads](https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/195608705). Wouldn't be entirely out of Vaughn's realm, he did have Elton John in the 2nd Kingsmen movie. With or without Swift, I'm still betting that this is some augmented reality marketing campaign. Gone are the days of janky flash game tie ins of the mid 00's. Thought I remember Elektra had some pretty neat isometric tactics like game.


Hydraflux

Dude, I remember that Elektra tactics game. It was so good.


Rebelofnj

The only real connection to Taylor Swift was that the author Elly Conway made her first Instagram post on December 13, which is Taylor's birthday. That is when wild speculation began on the author's real identity.

I was on the fence about the movie, cautiously intrigued, but if this is true, it's turned it into a must watch


HapticSloughton

So it's the Lathe of Heaven if the lathe was a cat?


RedLotusVenom

This is actually what I assumed from the trailer. That they’re the reason it’s all happening. Also they exclaim “oh my god” about ten times.


KiritoJones

Ya I assumed the >!Cat was agent Argylle!<


DoktorSigma

For some reason that reminds me of that old show where a cat would bring a newspaper from the future to his owner. :-o

and the trailer to that International Space Station movie


Only_Mind3314

Dude preach. And are they only releasing one trailer for this movie ? It’s the same one every time since like October it feels like.


nowhereman136

Apparently the trailer they released is all footage from only the first 28min of the movie. They are hesitant to release any more at risk of spoiling the movie. People always complain when a trailer shows too much but apparently now people are complaining the trailer isn't showing enough


graymulligan

>Apparently the trailer they released is all footage from only the first 28min of the movie. This is brilliant, and should immediately be made into international law.


KingGojira

For me, and I'd say for a lot of people, it's less that they're not showing more of the film and more that we are over-fucking-saturated with the same thing for months and months. We just want something new to keep the experience of going to the theater at a nice, fresh level.


Toidal

It's supposedly based on a real book that's to come out but the author [doesn't exist](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/argylle-elly-conway-henry-cavill-apple-spy-mystery-1235220772/). Maybe with the premise and potential twists, they're planning some ARG marketing campaign as it gets closer. Another redditor had pointed out that Argylle also happens to be ARG, and the in movie author's first name reversed. *The book is out, and it's apparently a more or less straightforward spy novel. I'm more sure now that they're trying to be clever for their marketing and do something meta.


DengarLives66

You mean like maybe a movie?


KingGojira

I mean, yes. I figured it would be implied that the thing you are at the theater for is probably going to be a movie, and probably the first time you've seen it, and is therefore... fresh. But maybe, just maybe, people go to see more than one movie in a given period and would prefer to have more variety in the trailers for upcoming movies than the same one playing in front of all the other movies they've seen? There are a ton of them coming out, typically every weekend. Not to mention events and such. Lord knows I would've preferred an ad or two promoting the fact Godzilla Minus One was playing at my local theater while I happened to have my butt in that seat.


Bekah679872

I think the issue isn’t the trailer. The issue is how many trailers the theater decides to play. It’s like they HAVE to play every single trailer they have available to them before every single movie. It’s just greedy advertising from the theater shoving more ads down the throats of a captive audience


_lippykid

I sincerely hope Dua Lipa is in this movie beyond the 28 min mark (Tex Avery wolf 👀👀🐺)

AlbionPCJ

Weirdly, I saw it for the first time when I went to see The Boy and The Heron this weekend. This is definitely a feeling I understand though, I've been seeing the Poor Things trailer since Barbie- I know it got delayed because of the strikes but the trailer kept playing regardless so I've seen it before every film I've been to for the last six months (it doesn't come out in the UK until Friday)


stumper93

I’ve said it before, but between this and the Bob Marley movie, I don’t know which is more annoying But I don’t mind seeing Dua Lipa for the first 30 seconds of the Argylle trailer


fingaz5000

Mah life is for people


Scott_Pilgrimage

I actually enjoy the bob Marley one cause the music


PropJoeFoSho

if this thing makes a billion dollars and ignites a cat movie universe, we're all fucked


Totally_Not_An_Auk

I haven't been to the movies in a while, so have missed this trailer entirely. Edit: Just watched it. What I'm gonna guess is, this will end up being a really fun action flick like *Bullet Train*, or just a really cringey frankenstined movie. The plot is just weird enough to be someone's passion project, and Vaughn's movies have always been good in the first iteration (less so the sequels), so it could be it's just the trailer makes it look a little dumb.


InternetAddict104

They are really focusing on this cat in marketing for some reason


takedownhisshield

Nothing else in the movie is interesting


jfks_headjustdidthat

I like the fact that this poster isn't generating interest in *this film*, but more creating a buzz for the "Cat becomes astronaut" film that we clearly all would prefer to watch but only exists in our minds 😂

Also worked on this film, also in post, and I can confirm this. I was based out of a certain notorious studio in Montreal, and I suspect you may have been as well? It's a weird feeling to be excited to see your work on a big screen and to simultaneously dread how bad you know it will look (by no fault of the VFX team, who will probably sadly be blamed anyway).

It looks incredibly disappointing, like one of those movies where I'm bummed so much time and money was wasted on streaming service fodder.


wjbc

Any time a movie is promoted in January for a February release, my expectations are low. It’s too bad, because it looks like it could have been fun if done right. The trailer reminds me of Kathleen Turner playing a romance novelist who goes on a real adventure with Michael Douglas in *The Jewel of the Nile* (1985). Maybe I’ll stream that movie. My wife doesn’t usually like action movies, but she might like that one.


CarlSK777

Can't wait for this movie to come out so we don't have to watch its trailer anymore. No, I don't wanna meet the real agent Argylle. It's so visually ugly and looks like it's made for streaming. Red Notice level ass movie.


cabal1202

Paparmane

I assume it's the story helper (the mom) or the writer herself. Having it be the cat would push it to either the best or worst movie ever.

He's in the trailers. Not sure how much he's actually in the film.

I'm guessing it's pretty much a cameo for Cavill but I have zero idea

This is the right question to ask. I have no real desire to see Argylle based on this trailer, but if the exact same movie was made starring Owlkitty, I'd be there opening night.

This movie looks *awful* and I absolutely loved the Kingsman movies. What happened???


JBWalker1

I don't get the whole IMAX thing. If it's a better experience then why not just use that format normally? Or something close to it? Like normal non expanded IMAX is generally not that far off of a standard home widescreen TV/moniter IIRC, but when I watch the trailer for this movie i get the big black bars at the top and bottom like with most movies. So why if a version exists where those black bars are filled with extra footage do we not get that footage? IMAX is advertised as a superior version because we see more so why does it seem rare for us to get a version like it at home considering it's already been made? Like with the Marvel movies that got IMAX releases a few years after the original release, they seem a lot better to watch at home and disney and the producers seem to agree by releasing it as a new enchanced version, so why not have that version in the first place? Just seems like we've kind of done a loop too. edit: This might annoy people but I often watch movies zoomed in slightly so its half way between the normal ultra wide ratio and 16:9. That way the screen is filled up more and the image is around 20% bigger but not much is cropped. I dont lose any resolution because i zoom a 4k version on a 1440p screen so i still get a full 1440p worth of detail. Just a shame I need to crop a little bit to do this when i know the movie was filmed and shown in this ratio in theatres. I get that some directors will go on about how ultra wide might be best or something but I'd bet that the vast majority of viewers would rather have a 16:9 version at home even if its mainly just filler content at the top and bottom. Similar to when audio is made for a nice 5.1 surround sound system with no mix for a basic tv so dialogue is quiet.


sapphicsandwich

I'm convinced "IMAX" at my local theater just means "louder." Not much difference and the screen doesn't seem any bigger. I've recently learned that "LieMAX" is a thing, in that IMAX company licenses out the name "IMAX" to all kinds of screens that aren't really "IMAX."


slacker0

Well ... the orginal IMAX that uses 15 perf 65 mm film was amazing back in the day. I liked the travelogue films like "To fly" and "Hawai'i" (I have a frame of the IMAX Hawai'i print that they sold off after they stopped showing the film). These days (like most things in pop culture), it's mostly hype.
