When /Movie’s Chris Evangelista and I spoke about these movies on a latest episode of the /Movie Each day podcast, we speculated that if anybody ever determined to remake “The Wages of Concern” once more at this time, it would rely extra on CGI and lose the tactility and tangibility that made the primary two movies so nice. You’ll be able to take heed to that dialog beneath:
To be honest, this teaser trailer does not appear to characteristic extreme quantities of CGI. What it does characteristic, sadly, is a big quantity of gunplay — footage of what looks as if a staff of pros locking and loading, launching grenades at helicopters, and moving into gunfights. This iteration of the story forces the characters to move the vans by “hostile zones managed by armed rebels,” in response to the official synopsis, so maybe this can be a technique to probably increase the stakes for contemporary audiences. However one other essential cause the primary two motion pictures work so properly is due to the simplicity of the mission: Get this materials from level A to level B.
It is clearly too early to inform for certain, however I ponder if introducing a bunch of characters with weapons as an impediment may make this model lose a number of the relatability of the earlier ones, which have been as a lot concerning the psychological fortitude of the characters arising with inventive methods to navigate round downed bushes and sketchy rope bridges.
We’ll discover out when “The Wages of Concern” hits Netflix on March 29, 2024.
