Greetings, Earthlings!
Welcome to the Madqueen Show, I am your host the MadQueen.
On today's menu we have a special video for you, and today, we are going to talk about
recent and upcoming films set in a Cyberpunk setting.
We all love this genre, and if you don't what are you doing here?
With love.
While we wait for E3 and some juicy news about Cyberpunk 2077, we brought to you a list of
some interesting films with a Cyberpunk setting.
That we hope to love. So let's go for it.
Andrew Niccol, the writer, and director of
Gattaca and Lord of War, brings us a story starred by Clive Owen, known for this amazing
futuristic dystopia called Children of Men and Closer.
This film tells the story of Sal Frieland, a detective in a world where the government
fights crime by eliminating privacy.
But once he meets The Girl, portrayed by Amanda Seyfried, his view of the world changes completely.
This film will be released on Netflix on May 4th, meaning tomorrow. And it looks amazing.
At first, I thought the film was an adaptation of the short film by Dennis Liu called Plurality,
that I totally recommend, as they both depict the same topic: the concept of abolishing
anonymity to fight crime.
Either way, this sounds really interesting, so keep your eyes peeled.
Leigh Whannell, writer of Saw and Insidious
will release this film in July 1st.
The film is based on a near-future where technology is everywhere.
The main character played by Logan Marshall-Green, a self-identified technophobe,
who sees how his wife is killed in a brutal assault.
He ends up quadriplegic and his only chance to get revenge is a chip called STEM that
installed in his spinal cord grants him the necessary edge to fulfill his revenge.
This is the best example of what a B film should be: plenty of violence, lots of humor,
epic one-liners and frantic pace… with the right amount of gore and blood.
Be sure to have a bowl of popcorn close to you when you watch this Australian film.
Ares is a French film that was released in
2016 that shows us a France after an economic collapse in 2020, where corporations bought
all the debt and changed the order of the country.
Now doping and human experimentation are legalized and due to the high rate of homelessness and
unemployment, people get interested in violent new sports.
Athletes become sponsored by pharmaceutical companies, and also become their guinea pigs
for their new performance-enhancing drugs.
The Swedish actor Ola Rapace, who you may remember as the megabad mercenary on James
Bond film Skyfall, plays the boxer Reda, also known as Ares.
Some things happen, no spoilers, and he has to offer himself for a human experimentation
program involving a drug that killed every test subject so far…
Interesting, right?
Also, Paris doesn't look as lovely as it does in postcards.
Looks like Netflix is into Cyberpunk, and
this film released in February is another proof of this.
Duncan Jones, director of the critically acclaimed Moon, that you should watch if you haven't
already, and I'm hardly biased here because I'm a Sam Rockwell fangirl and so should
you, and the not so much Warcraft, but we won't hold it against him,
This film brings to the table a neo-noir science-fiction film starred by Alexander Skarsgard, who played
the vampire Eric Northman in True Blood and Paul Rudd who you may know as Ant-Man.
The film does not have many good ratings, but visually is gorgeous.
So if you don't know what to see and like me, you are craving for more cyberpunk works,
you should give this film a chance.
Starred by Myles Truitt, Jack Reynor, James Franco,
Zöe Kravitz and Dennis Quaid.
This casting is a great way to start.
This film directed by Jonathan and Josh Baker depicts the story of an ex-con and his adopted
brother, who have to run away from a criminal played by James Franco, the feds and a pair
of otherworldly soldiers.
They have to defend themselves with the only help of a weapon of unknown origin, that looks
like one of those exotic weapons I told you about.
This certainly looks interesting, and we will be able to watch this film at the end of August.
Another cool aspect of this film, Mogwai is in charge of the soundtrack, so there we have
another good reason to watch this.
This film is based on the short story written by Josh and Jonathan Baker, called Bag Man.
Based on Yukito Kishiro's manga Battle Angel Alita
This film Directed by Robert Rodriguez and produced by James Cameron is set to be
released at the end of this year, exactly on December 21st.
James Cameron has stated that he wants to adapt the spine of the story of Yukito Kishiro's
manga.
We will see how this goes, but so far the trailer looks promising.
It's kind of weird seeing the eyes of Alita, but the cast cannot be more promising: Christopher
Waltz, Jennifer Connelly, and Rosa Salazar as Alita, portraying the role by motion capture,
as Alita will be generated digitally.
And, really, please don't make everybody with those eyes like in Gotham, it was fucking
distracting there.
This one is completely bonkers. I love it
A Russian-American film shot entirely in first-person perspective and filmed with GoPro cameras.
This science-fiction film directed by Ilya Naishuller puts us in the perspective of Henry,
resuscitated by his wife Estelle, portrayed by Haley Bennet.
After an accident that rendered him amnesiac and mute, she replaces a missing arm and leg
with cybernetic prosthetics.
Just after he wakes up, a mercenary group lead by a psychokinetic try to raid the ship
they are in, killing everybody and abducting Estelle, but Henry gets out alive and he needs
to save his beloved and stop this mercenary group before it is too late.
Frantic action full of amazing stunts and cool special effects.
Without a doubt, one of the most original films I've ever seen with regards to perspective.
Because the story is not very original and we already have in this list some more that
have the exact same structure.
You need to watch this!
The "masterpiece" of speculative fiction
Fahrenheit 451 written by Ray Bradbury will have soon a cyberpunk adaptation to be released
later this year, written and directed by Ramin Bahrani.
And oh your god the casting.
Michael Shannon as Beatty, I love everything this man does, especially Man Of steel, Michael
B. Jordan as Guy and Sofia Boutella as Clarice.
Bravo HBO.
Also bravo because I watched the trailer and it looked like this film is going to go to
my list of films that against all odds I liked them better than the book that inspired them,
I also have The Shining on that list, because, and I know this is an unpopular opinion but
Fahrenheit 451 is dull as a fucking brick.
Don't get me wrong, the setting is amazing, the future that depicts is a great idea, the
setting is so original and all, but the characters are incredibly flat and you can't help but
facepalm at most of their choices and reactions, everything is so exaggerated, really, I re-read
it shortly ago to give it another chance and I was like "nope.
Still bad".
So, HBO, I hope you get the setting and give the characters a rework and I will be totally happy.
Steven Soderberg, known for being one of the
most original and uncompromised filmmakers of the 90s, when he's not working for money,
because he has to make a living like anyone else and he's technically brilliant
This guy produced one of my favorite films ever that happens to be also one of the best adaptations
from a Phillip K. Dick work called a Scanner Darkly, seriously if you didn't watch it
you should, this film is amazing.
Now he's back producing another futuristic dystopia called Perfect.
A young man with a violent past enters a mysterious clinic where the patients wildly transform
their bodies and minds using genetic engineering, an engineering that, let's say it, looks
a lot like the sort of Braindance that in the universe of Cyberpunk is used to cure
the cyber psychos, and it looks very outrun-ish, I think I'm going to love at least this part
Written and directed by the promising rising star Eddie Alcazar and starred by Abbie Cornish,
that you may remember from Sucker Punch, Courtney Eaton whose first film ever was Mad Max Fury
Road, and that's a great way to start your career, and Leonardo Nam who you saw on Westworld,
but not me, because I still need to watch Westworld.
I think I'm going to love this one, it was released on March 11th but I didn't have
the chance to watch it yet.
I will soon.
The French duo in charge of making the video
clip the Turbo Killer for Carpenter Brut is now working on a new film called Ickerman.
And I thought Seth Ickerman was a person and no, it seems it's a duo.
This is still a work in progress, the only thing we can see from it so far is a proof
of concept, but it looks like the canonical cyberpunk outrun film.
High Tech, low life setting and amazing effects.
Without a doubt, Seth Ickerman are trendy in this genre and gods amongst the synthwave
lovers.
They are also working on the sequel of the Turbo Killer video clip called Blood Machines,
and you can visit their Kickstarter page, link in the description
We will let you know when the film will be released, but it looks amazing.
And this is the list, I hope I gave you some ideas to watch for your Netflix and chill
sessions, or maybe HBO and chill, let me know what do you think of these films.
Well folks, thanks for watching.
