• Im sure it's already been said, but this is based off a book. There have been two trailers posted for this movie, and each time the guy writing the description has no idea what the fuck he's talking about. It's from the Gardians of Gahoole series, and no, it isnt a world filled with JUST owls. It is however, just animals. No humans, because yes, they would be very much aware of a owl war going on. That would be quite a sight lol Anyway, I liked the book when it came out, but I was a like 5 years younger. I'll give it a chance. Looks promising.

• "it's based on some children's fantasy books" Of course it is, if Zack Snyder's directing, then it's based on something. Expect a literal and soul-less translation that adds nothing and is best forgotten.

• Link/Gaebara Kaepara

• No, you are thinking of Eoin Colfer, he wrote a series about a spy named Artemis Fowl. I can see how the word 'fowl' in the title can mess you up though.

• From the Federal Bureau of Investigation?!

• didnt the guy who thought it was a good idea to do a new hitchhikers book- write the books about these owls?

• I started off baffled at what I was seeing then ended up thinking this might not be horrible. Then around the end of the video they really start trying to convince us it's a good idea. Best of luck I guess..

• Like I looooooooooove owls but er, are they going to have the barn owls make that horrible hissing noise they make? How about coughing up some owl pellets? This just seems like an excuse for a bunch of birders to sit around and nitpick. Oh, and the word for owl's behinds is "cloaca" which isn't much weirder. I know this because I bird not for some...other reason.

• More violent the Redwall? I should read these books then, because Redwall and the other books in that series were probably some of the most graphically violent books that were aimed at children.

• I think they said the word "Owls" more times in this trailer than I said last year. This reminds me of Mouse Guard - Winter 1152, when Celanawe fights an Owl. That needs to be made into a movie.

• It was the marketing department's subtle knife-in-the-back against the production department. Production made this movie, so marketing saved us from seeing it. Bygones.

• Because I played all of his LBP levels out of morbid curiosity.

• When I saw the trailer for this in the theater, I couldn't contain my laughter. I'm not sure what it was about it that struck me as so funny... I think it had something to do with them using such cute animals (I think owls are adorable) in such a serious plot? Not sure, but I lost it when the music went to bridge while this owl was doing a dramatic loop while flying in the clouds. And just now, seeing it on this site made me think, "Hmm, now THAT will make for some depraved FFF." Combine that with your comment at the end, and I lol'd.

• this was like wtf >_> was seeing how to train your dragon and this trailor came on and i was like im watching a kids movie which turned out to be awesome but this trailor looks like freaking vegi-tales with owl's

• David Bowie better be in this movie somewhere Snyder or I am VERY dissapoint.

• My little brothers love these books...they're geared for a younger audience, but if it will get kids to read I'll support it...even if Zach Snyder is making it...

• Retarded, couldn't even finish it. In fact, I feed dumber for having started watching it.

• Unless it's Bobo saving the day, I'm not interested. Well, maybe a little. Owls are cute.

• I have a deep and abiding dislike for owls that i blame Twin Peaks for. There's no way I can watch this movie. *shivers*

• I love how Zack says, "Owls can turn their heads almost 360 degrees... so there's a lot of cool things we can incorporate into each character." Um, what? That's like saying cats can clean every part of their body, so I'm sure we'll be able to fully develop each character and make them compelling.

• Looks like 300 with Owls. Pass.

• guess it shows that Zack seems to have survived making watchman even if it is a film that seems to be a knights of the round table type thing where owls are the knights. guess Zack needed something to do till he does the 300 hundred sequel.

• I'm a bit confused... why'd they spoil the entire movie in this short clip?

• More importantly, WHY DO YOU KNOW THAT?

• All I can think of are all those clips about how creepy owls look when they're pissed off. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDjMbyFia0E

• I'm pretty sure Chris Chan based a Little Big Planet level on this series.

• somebody read the books? i do and let me tell you, those owl's have guts and the history is like king artur feathers, and thanks chudleycannonfodder for the suppert, my inner geek is wishing to see the last book in tye big screen with Gerard Butler as the owl king (bad memory, idont remember the name)

• Well I'm sure it'd try but everyone would just be like, "Who who?" I'll get my coat.

• 10 seconds in, lmao at owl w/ helmet. Can't wait to watch cg owls heroicly vomit up cg mouse carcasses.

• How much do you want to bet that his wife was the one that put him up to direct this? She was reading it to her kids going "I bet my Zachy poo could direct the heck out of this, plus I can get a producer credit!"

• That being said, the music is shit. Everything else though (voice acting, owl fight scenes, etc.) I'm pretty excited to see.

• I'm probably the only person on the site who read the books when they first came out. The movie looks like it's based on the first three books, which were like Redwall, but a bit more violent, characters continue from book to book, and the main characters are owls. And yes, there are other species in the series. It's just that owls are the main focus. There's another series set in the same universe that is about wolves. As for Snyder directing it, I say good for him. The series is aimed at young teenagers, so I'm glad he's working on a film where the material is suitable for his target audience. Oh, and the last book is influenced by the Battle of Thermopylae, so there's that too. As for the geek cred of the series: some of the owls, influenced by fragments of Fahrenheit 451 that they found, memorize their historical literature to preserve it from book burnings.

• A bit more fundamental question, I must admit, tiny small furnaces, coal and ore mines hundreds of owls standing on one foot while hacking or hammering with the other ?

• The best thing about an owl is that it'll never be able to tell anyone about it.

• err... this clip i mean... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8p72wmR5H4&feature=player_embedded

• Cooper?

• I have it on good authority that the owls are not what they seem.

• I saw a 3D trailer for this and "How to Train Your Dragon" when I saw Alice in Wonderland. I thought the 3D for this movie looked really well done (and that Dragon's looked really tacked on and poor) so at least it has that going for it.

• Or my question; how they even make them in the first place?

• You know, I really just get the feeling that the author of these books read the Golden Compass one day and was like, "Hey, what if instead of armored bears, we had armored owls?" Granted, armored animals isn't anything blindingly original, but it's pretty tough to beat bears even if they're not iron-plated.

• I like to ask dr Mckays girlfriend how owls put masks and helmets

• So, this is from the director of Watchmen? Remember, there was not one...but TWO superheroes who went by the name "Nite Owl" in Watchmen! Methinks the director has an unhealthy fixation on Owls.

• When I saw this trailer in the theatre last week, I nearly started to cry. WHY, HUGO WEAVING, WHY!?!?!?!

• Ugh... terrible music in that clip. The movie looks interesting, though.

• Then you should watch this clip, <i>Monkey Boy</i> ;-)

• The trailer makes it seem like owls are the only type of animal in that world. Do they commit cannibalism?

• To be honest Rob I've never thought about how many owls I'm comfortable with. However after watching this I agree that this is way more owls than I am comfortable with.

• Rob, when someone writes owl bestiality into an FFF, you only have yourself to blame for it now.

• I freaking love owls. Bring it on.

• Who?

• I am pretty sure if you anyone tried to stick his wanker anywhere near a living owl it would be something to see on "When animals attack" !

• I'm having trouble breathing right now. This may be some of the best fucking commentary I've ever read on this site. Well done, sir. Well done.

• re:"And when no one was looking, I stuck my penis right inside the owl's ga'hoole." You seem to be fixated with sticking your penis in things / animals. Any issues you'd like to talk about?

• I saw a game on the nintendo channel about Owls.. I wonder if it's related to this.. 'cuz I was thinking.. "who the hell wants to play a game where you're just an effin' owl!?"
