>Altered Carbon is set in the 25th century when the human mind has been digitized and the soul is transferable from one body to the next. Takeshi Kovacs (Kinnaman), a former elite interstellar warrior known as an Envoy who has been imprisoned for 500 years, is downloaded into a future he’d tried to stop. If he can solve a single murder in a world where technology has made death nearly obsolete, he’ll get a chance at a new life on Earth. >They’re really going to be able to create a world that’s got a bigger budget than the first three seasons of Game of Thrones,”
Julian Brooks
sounds gay
Lucas Hall
Your gay
Zachary Baker
Read the book, actually really liked it. Hope they don't fuck this up.
Kevin Jenkins
Hyped as fuck. I love cyberpunk and I love hard R.
Nolan Davis
Sounds awful, I bet San junpiero fags will eat it up.
Jose Davis
Cool and all, but what about PoC and the LGBTQQXFS community, how is that going to be represented?
Jace Hill
>25th Century >Still think there are souls
dropped
Jaxson Rivera
"soul" = consciousness
Ethan Baker
I read it and liked it too. I really wonder who will play Takeshi.
John Scott
That sounds pretty stupid. But having your consciousness digitized so people are basically immortal is one of the scariest things in the world to me. You could potentially be tortured or imprisoned for millions of years if it were possible to run a consciousness on a computer
Jack Cooper
sounds straight
Kevin Foster
>It’s going to be something special. It’s something that’s never been done before, and I’m a big fan of intelligent sci-fi. To see a sci-fi show that’s a hard R-rated sci-fi show with a big budget, so they’re really going to be able to create this entire world … I just started drooling at that possibility.”
Liam Brooks
>"soul" = consciousness
Bullshit. The soul is a spiritual construct, and is immortal. The soul is much more than mere consciousness.
Easton Phillips
This dude is Takeshi. Joel Kinnaman is the dude he's inserted into.
Gabriel Fisher
i was excited about this when I was reading the book. Then I saw the quality of every netflix show after the first season of Daredevil.
Carter Jenkins
lol fag
Colton Perez
lol
Nathan Thomas
Hey, I read those books. They were really bad.
Owen Foster
>netflix >not fucking something up lel
Cameron Diaz
Is snek woman in it as well?
Elijah Mitchell
The author is a feminist faggot who wrote a book about a black man having sex with lots of white women, will be skipping this thanks.
Jeremiah Allen
The dawn of cyberkino is upon us lads
Asher Baker
only its going to come with videogames like Death Stranding Cyberpunk 2077 not this netflix liberal shit
Isaiah Mitchell
Um Netflix has some of the highest production quality along with HBO
Easton Richardson
their anime is shit quality.
Nathaniel Perry
>Purefoy describes the show as huge in scope, one of the biggest projects Netflix has attempted. >Actor Joel Kinnaman confirms that the show has a bigger budget than the first three seasons of Game of Thrones
Grayson Ortiz
I bet this will have tranny robots
Grayson Hall
>anime not made in Japan is shit
Really makes you think.
Joshua Jackson
We can hope.
David Morgan
I hope they dont fuck it up. The book is GOAT cyberpunk.
Is there a release date yet?
Jason Thompson
Have you seen Castlevania?
The animation is better thank 90% of japanese shit. I think you just have garbage warped taste because you're a barely functional weeb.
Jordan Richardson
So it's going to join the ranks of Marco Polo, The Get Down, and Sense8? Every big budget Netflix show gets cancelled after 1 or 2 seasons.
Jose Hernandez
i find the v/o grating
the animation is ok
definitely better than the cg shit the nips are trying to get away with
Nicholas Howard
Weird, I thought the voices were great too.
Also, the writing was surprisingly good.
>dat goatfucking/shovel story in the bar
Gabriel Ward
good for them. There shows are shit.
Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Stranger Things, Series of Unfortunate Events, and Fuller House are the only ones I've seen.
Daredevil Season 1 was good but nothing else I've seen from Netflix was really worth watching. Maybe Altered Carbon will be different but I wouldn't count on it
Dominic Rodriguez
but its gonna have a single lead actor who will have lots of graphic kills, smoke cigarretes, and basically be film noir.
Oh and druggy sex
actually looking forward to it
Josiah Campbell
deluded idiot LMAO
Ryder Taylor
decent production quality used to create complete shit shows
Nolan Hernandez
Netflix and their forced liberal pandering What could possibly go wrong?
Thomas Robinson
good book
0% chance they wont fuck it up
Ryan Sanders
Loved the book. Why is Quellcrist a nigger?
Jonathan Watson
>psyche is Greek for "soul" >psychology is the study of consciousness
you're fucking retarded my guy
James Collins
So they're going to be putting an Asian guy into a buff white guy's body?
Oh boy. This is going to be problematic.
Aiden Fisher
>future where the human mind has been digitized and the soul is transferable from one body to the next
wow its like a liberal utopia where any man can be put into a woman's body and vice-versa
You're comparing similar words in different languages from different times as if that proves something, and you call me retarded?
Okay, whatever.
Angel Young
Morgan's books are generally set in a post-extropianist dystopian world. Morgan described his "takeaway" of one of his books as:
>Society is, always has been, and always will be a structure for the exploitation and oppression of the majority through systems of political force dictated by an élite, enforced by thugs, uniformed or not, and upheld by a wilful ignorance and stupidity on the part of the very majority whom the system oppresses.
Jose Scott
He owns a gay?
Must be you he owns.
Blake Davis
>wow its like a liberal utopia where any man can be put into a woman's body and vice-versa
D-does that mean I could become a loli?
Wyatt Moore
>arguing that the etymology of words is unimportant
Leo Cook
RELEASE MUTE ALREADY YOU SWEDISH FUCKS
Nicholas Sanders
>implying that etymology is a universal constant
The term "soul" is specifically spiritual in usage.
William Flores
Death Stranding is cyberpunk? Looked more like "psychological" "thriller" nonsense to me.
Adrian Sullivan
>Hard R is this supposed to add something to it? Game of Thrones is a "Hard R" and the moments that dictate why it is are usually the worst, most bait moments that usually involve mindless gore and/or titties. I.E. shit to distract you from how poor the writing actually is.
Julian Hernandez
Who's playing Miriam Bancroft? The book literally goes on about her tits in every chapter so they better find someone with a good body of work
Gabriel Bell
This doesn't even sound that cyberpunk based on that snippet. Hoping they go for neuromancer or Snowcrash tier insanity but I really doubt any production of this size or larger will
Kayden Smith
You think I have a chinaman's icebreaker lying around console cowboy?
Logan Anderson
It stars Joel Kinnaman as Kovacs, James Purefoy as Laurens Bancroft, Kristin Lehman as Miriam Bancroft, Martha Higareda as Kristin Ortega, Chris Conner as Poe, Alika Autran as Okulov, Tahmoh Penikett (late of BSG) as Dimitri Kadmin, Matt Frewer as Carnage, and Teach Grant as Jimmy DeSoto among many others.
Jose Baker
>James Purefoy
Sebastian Wright
>SJWflix
You already know it's gonna be another excuse to push some gay//pedo/transgender propaganda then get cancelled after the first season.
Andrew Nguyen
And I'm sure they'll use it to make some point about gender fluidity and how we're all one species or some shit.
Xavier Wilson
it's got the second highest budget behind sens8, so I heard
Sebastian Sanchez
was hoping it would be die from the live action gits
Jackson Lopez
Crazy pheromone-drugged sex romp when?
Ayden Baker
First book -> great Second book -> meh Third book -> awful
Daniel Cook
I actually liked the third book over the second, but you're not off the mark that 2 and 3 were significantly weaker reads than 1.
Lincoln Robinson
can't wait for the really drawn-out explicit sex scenes and unnecessary in-your-face nudity! finally something mature for mature viewers such as myself!
Angel Walker
The second one is awesome, where they end up in the Martian ruins, I liked it.
Connor Gray
You know they're gonna fuck it up, why even do this to yourself?
Cameron Martin
So they make a 10 episode show for ~180+x million? Kinda bold.
Kevin Myers
that exact scenario actually plays out in the books, it's pretty fucked up
Juan Martinez
I think I caught autism just from reading this.
Christopher Miller
deep cuts on Sup Forums tonight
Angel Robinson
I remember reading this back in the day... what a blast.
I don't have very high hopes for this, wouldn't even if a top film studio were to work on it. It's a very action packed but at the same time intriguing and intelligent novel. From what I've seen of Netflix they like weak sauce and the original is like a chilli.
Samuel Perez
>"Takeshi Kovacs" >played by Joel Kinneman I don't understand.
Asher Cook
It's the 26th Century and he is of Japanese/Eastern European descent so it mostly makes sense. I just don't think that actor is a fit for the character unless they overboard on the noir which could ruin it.
Ryan Cook
>They’re really going to be able to create a world that’s got a bigger budget than the first three seasons of Game of Thrones
Uh, didn't Netflix just have to cancel two well-received shows because they were far too expensive? And now they're doing this?
