nyone else excited to see our classic boy in another great lead?
Dano is going to smash this part.
>>64333318
Yes.
I want to see more of Lily Jame's hairy forearms, but it looks like she waxed for this. She had really nice looking black arm hair.
The BBC doesn't have the budget to do it justice, even in the era of CGI.
>>64333318
>Dano didn't gained 25 kg of weight for the role
What a shitty actor.
All I know about this movie is that originally it was called "War; what is it good for?"
>>64333474
That's wrong though.
Where do you think our TV license money goes to?
>>64333508
Israel.
>>64333508
Bureaucrats pockets and since this is screenwork union kickbacks.
The bbc can do a nice personal period drama just fine, but whenever they attempt to tackle an epic then it's comically underfunded.
>>64333558
More like Saudi Arabia, to be honest.
>"the names piece, warren piece"
Jesus Christ who writes this shit
Reminder that Sonya was best girl. Maria a shit.
>>64333474
You underestimate BBC Cymru Wales as a television production company.
>>64333658
Wikipedia says their entire budget for the year is about 45million dollarydoos.
You couldn't do a popper version of war and peace with the entirety of that money, and I'm sure they have more national stuff to produce besides this so it won't even be 45m.
>>64333774
I presume BBC Worldwide and The Weinstein Company are financing it, as well as worldwide pre-orders from national or cable broadcasters.
>>64333774
I just saw a preview for it on BBC One and it looked fucking awesome.
What makes you think it'll be shit just because it doesn't have a $120mil Hollywood budget in which half goes to advertising and the rest distributed between producer fees, licensing for music and actors. 10% will actually go to the film.
Meanwhile in a BBC production, 100% goes towards the production while the rest of BBC takes care of promotion etc.
>>64333774
They have the Weinstein Company providing extra funding
>>64333830
>What makes you think it'll be shit just because it doesn't have a $120mil Hollywood budget
Again, every other bbc outing I've seen before. As soon as they depart from sets the size of a drawing room they remind you this is a television production.
I'm not saying they're incompetent, they simply do what they can.

>>64333953
There are a lot of talented people working in the film and television industry in the UK, it'll be shot well and look good at least.
>>64333318
Based Dano.
Hell yeah
>>64333992
They're good at doing what they can with what they have but looking at the preview the battles don't even have division strength combatants.
If they stylistically don't want to work out the rest with vfx I respect that but it is what it is. They don't have enough asses in costume to shoot this.
>>64334057
Don't worry, the American version will have CGI cavalry, CGI linesmen, lens flare and Paul Dano will make a fart joke during the final curtain.
>>64334102
I actually prefer budget be saved by dialing in the camera. That's obviously the classic way to do it. But it's not befitting War and Peace and typical of the bbc.
>>64334057
Reminds me that they had to CGI the very short battle scene (Waterloo) for the series Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, which to be fair wasn't overly bad. Other CGI elements throughout the series were good considering the budget.

If Kubrick can do shots like this, why can't BBC?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBFpw-459VU
>>64333318
I hate Dano and I don't know why.
Maybe it's his eminently punchable face.
>>64334646
Well it was shot and filmed with the help of British production talent, especially the cinematographer, so maybe.
>>64333499
I've heard this before. I think it probably sounds less goofy in Russian.
>>64334819
The proper translation is 'War and Society' according to my Russian friend.
Doesn't he play a cuck in this? Sad desu.
>>64334869
Your friend is confusing "мipъ" with "миpъ". In modern Russian, both words are now spelled "миp".
>>64334869
There are people moaning on youtube that it's meant to be 'War and the World'.
>>64333978
>Winter Palace painted green
Cool... cool... cool cool cool.
>called War and Peace
>doesn't even have a budget to do the war justice
>>64335252
What is the budget of this anyway?
>>64335456
Less than Doctor Who.
>>64335456
>The budget for the production is undisclosed but the involvement of the Weinstein Company is felt throughout. The battle scenes, although not quite Hollywood standard, are far more effective and more ambitious than anything previously seen on British TV.
Other says it's around £10million.
>>64335471
is that possiblekowalski whats a number smaller than 0.
uh neg-finity!
>knock off imogen poots

The best book ever written in my eyes.
Honestly can't wait to watch this.
>>64335052
>expecting the BBC to CG-recolour an entire building for one establishing shot
>>64335672
But Roskolnikov is supposed to be incredibly handsome. Also Sonya is supposed to be plain and matronly looking.
Have you even read the book?
>battle of Austerlitz
>batle of Borodino
I'm hyped af lads. Can't wait to see Andrei being based as fuck.
>>64333318
Dano looks like a halfbaby retard
>>64333978
Holy fuck, this looks incredible
>>64335746
Fuck off faggot.
>>64335719
>Dano isn't incredibly handsome
>implying any of you have read W&P
maybe one /lit/ crossposter
rest of you faggots don't even have the attention span for a 2.5 hour movie though
>>64335761
He ain't, all memeing asside.
>>64335798
I post on /lit/, and I have read it.
It was literally the happiest time in my life reading that book.
>>64335798
Only one person claimed to have read the book.
As a sidenote, you sound like the most elitist, pretentious most bitter person known to this world.
>>64335838
eat my dick faggot, I am
>>64335875
>dat Andrei
My /lit/ husbando
Americans always translate the name of this book wrong! In 19th century Russian languare the word "mir" had 3 meanings: peace, world and society. The correct translation would actually be "War and Society" because that's what the author intended it to be.
Dano playing Pierre?
I don't see it.
>>64336194
You need a classic for a classic
>>64333474
Well they did a pretty good job in the 70s. It looks a little crummy but considering most of it is talking you don't really need the GoT sort of budget.
>>64335990
spelt different)))
>>64335990
>because that's what the author intended it to be.
Source of this false statement?
>>64335875
Bolkonskiy is supposed to be a colonel by 1812, but he wears the gorget of a staff-captain.
I am going to masturbate to this.
I rate Paul Dano's performance a classic/10

If you were black, the BBC would legally have to give you a part because of new guidelines

... ummm ...here's a formal request for reccomendations
>>64338000
Come on now. Evan Stone was in Pirates 2. They all have costumes with frills and shit in there.
>>64335798
I've read it. It's really not that rough so long as you know the basic history of that era. The actual book isn't hard to digest.
>>64336479
go back to /his/
When does it air?
>>64333978
This looks straight up incredible.
