@Rensje Akira?

@Rensje Akira?

I see where you're coming from but no, that's not it!
You're closer than you think, though.

Maybe it could be from Ready Player One.

 

[Rensje]

Maybe it could be from Ready Player One.

Nope, sorry!
I'll give you a cryptic hint:

This film is a sequel to a classic that once took place in the future, but is now set in the past.

 

[Mazer]

Bladerunner 2049?

 

[Rensje]

Winner, winner!
Take it away, @Mazer969!

 

[Mazer]

Aw jeez, the pressure.

This one will either be impossible, or someone will pick it immediately. Probably the latter since this is a forum specifically for nerds.

 

[Frindis]

@Mazer969 I think it might be the scene where Alex from A Clockwork Orange (1971) is getting a really nasty treatment for his violent behavior.

I can see it, but that's not the movie.

This one is also a British film. Primarily.

 

[Frindis]

Dammit, I was so sure I was right on that one! Sigh, well, I'll let some other have a go, especially since my get-it-correct rating is at a whopping 0%

 

[Mazer]

In the interest of keeping the thread going and also because I worry I've picked something too obscure I'll drop another two hints.

This movie is set in a slightly futuristic dystopia, and it's two biggest names both currently have netflix movies out.

Oh.. Scarlett Johansson is in Marriage Story.. she starred in Ghost in the Shell a few years ago. That it??

Sorry, that's not it either.

There are two of the Monty Python boys involved in the movie, and that wording will likely tell you who one of them was.

 

[I Will Haunt You]

Gotta be Brazil then. Only sci-fi like film I know for sure that meets that criteria.

We have a weiner! All yours spooky.

 

[I Will Haunt You]

Weiner? I highly resemble that remark!

Here ya go. I really hope it's neither too obscure or too obvious.


Answered: John Carpenter's The Fog.

 

[Frindis]

If I am not horribly mistaking again, that would be from the movie: Aquaman (2018).

 

[SWard]

Withnail and I?

You are horribly mistaken. 👻

Withnail and I?

It is not. 👻

It is from a horror movie.

 

[Frindis]

The Wicker Man (1973)?

 

[Dan]

The ring? Only horror movie I've seen with a lighthouse

 

[I Will Haunt You]

Well, if you watch this movie then you'd have seen two! 👻

This movie had a remake that was not as good.

 

[I Will Haunt You]

The Wicker Man (1973)?

Nope. 7 years too early. I so love that film though.

@sward Just watched the trailer and it looks absolutely bonkersy awesome!
