Aquaman - The Fish Guy Movie Thread

Official Website is up. Be sure to check out the awesome gallery.

Also, the site delivers a synopsis:

From Warner Bros. Pictures and director James Wan comes an action-packed adventure that spans the vast, visually breathtaking underwater world of the seven seas, Aquaman, starring Jason Momoa in the title role. The film reveals the origin story of half-human, half-Atlantean Arthur Curry and takes him on the journey of his lifetime — one that will not only force him to face who he really is, but to discover if he is worthy of who he was born to be … a king.


The film also stars Amber Heard (Justice League, Magic Mike XXL) as Mera, a fierce warrior and Aquaman’s ally throughout his journey; Oscar nominee Willem Dafoe (Platoon, Spider-Man 2) as Vulko, council to the Atlantean throne; Patrick Wilson (The Conjuring films, Watchmen) as Orm/Ocean Master, the present King of Atlantis; Dolph Lundgren (The Expendables films) as Nereus, King of the Atlantean tribe Xebel; Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (Baywatch, Netflix’s The Get Down) as the vengeful Black Manta; and Oscar winner Nicole Kidman (The Hours, Lion) as Arthrur’s mom, Atlanna; as well as Ludi Lin (Power Rangers) as Captain Murk, Atlantean Commando; and Temuera Morrison (Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones, Green Lantern) as Arthur’s dad, Tom Curry.


Wan directs from a screenplay by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick (The Conjuring 2) and Will Beall (Gangstar Squad, TV’s Training Day), story by Geoff Johns & James Wan and Will Beal, based on characters from DC, Aquaman created by Paul Norris and Mort Weisinger. the film is produced by Peter Safran and Rob Cowan, with Deborah Snyder, Zack Snyder, Jon Berg, Geoff Johns and Walter Hamada serving as executive producers.


Wan’s team behind the scenes includes such frequent collaborators as Oscar-nominated director of photography Don Burgess (The Conjuring 2, Forrest Gump), his five-time editor Kirk Morri (The Conjuring films, Furious 7, the Insidious films), and production designer Bill Brzeski (Furious 7). They are joined by costume designer Kym Barrett (The Matrix trilogy, The Amazing Spider-Man) and composer Rupert Gregson-Williams (Wonder Woman).

The aquaman trailer was great. He had some good scenes, the story looks interesting, some of the shots were stunning and it didn't look dark and depressing. I'm actually excited for this.
 
That was an awesome trailer, hopefully the movie can live up to it. DC really knock it our of the park with their trailers today.
 
Who are you, and what have you done with @kirk55555 ?

Hey, I liked Wonder Woman too (and thought JL was ok, and that Suicide Squad was a bad comic adaptation but a decent mindless action flick). When it comes to the character themselves, I've always been a bit more of a DC guy (although I love Marvel heroes, too). DC has good characters, they just needed better people working on the movies. I hope this is as good as the trailer makes it seem, because I definitely want a good Aquaman movie (heck, I just want good DC movies in general).
 
The trailer is gorgeous but it does look rather by-the-numbers. I still haven't watched Justice League so I don't have any preconceptions about Jason Momoa's performance as Arthur. More of I'll see it when I see it more than anything else.
 
Anyone think this movie, since it's an origin story for Aquaman, should have come before Justice League? I do.
