the fact that the movie is in color and spaceships kind of blow my mind. We had a slight discussion on this yesterday and we all said it was nothing like the book.

It is so sad how they are going for a Hunger Games look. Because in the end, people will be comparing it to that series rather than letting the movie stand on its own.

This movie could have been done on an indie budget with little known actors and it could still have been amazing. Now it looks like a who is whom with a FX budget of a god.

YES! Exactly! anon yesterday said this

"Maybe just go for the obvious comparisons and call it "The Divergent Giver Games in the City of Bones (vaguely inspired by The Giver).""

Which is what I feel like it is. I would much rather have a movie faithful to the film with unknown actors. It really needs to be shot in black and white too to get the feel of the it.

1. Shot in black and white
2. Jonas needs to be played by a pre-teen and not a twenty something. Heck, I'll even take a young teenager like fourteen or fifteen. But he must be young for that innocence of youth to come through.
3. No music soundtrack. Just a clean, practical sounds (footfalls, doors creaking open and close, The Giver closing a book shut, etc.) I think the lack of any music would be unnerving and would give an idea at how blank this society is.
4. Lesser known actors. People should be wanting to see the movie because of the book and not because the movie looks like a Night of a Thousand Stars
5. Stick to the book. No one else "awakens." No million budget FX shots. No unraveling of society in revolution. (I always thought how saw it was in the book how aside from The Giver, no one knew Jonas plans. They probably thought he took the baby and went for a stroll only to drown in the river somewhere. And society echoed mourned for a few seconds and moved on.)

I agree with this. I'm really surprised no one has made a movie of the book before. I think the introduction of music as Jonas learns would be a great way to differentiate the blankness of society.

Bah, not looking forward to this movie.

The color doesn't disappoint me as much now, I'm betting they'll do something like have The Giver go "What color is this" and Jonas goes "What's color?"
