I have always deeply appreciated Guy ever since I saw Ravenous. I think that was the first movie I had seen him in as well. Robert Carlyle too. Great flick and great actors
@@lawrencefrost9063 There's a lot of ignorant people out there who think any movie that includes native history is automatically derogatory and simply the white man putting them down. Here's a typical IMDB take: "I had misgivings about an Indigenous film named "The Convert" for righteous reasons. There's Nothing like watching The Crown's fueling of a 20 year civil war between Maaori to represent our entire history as the norm, from where we were navigating the oceans for 3000 years, using the coast as our former highway did we need the white saviour to arrive and teach us basic navigation. At least the film didn't end with The Crown, to award us on our advancements in humanity with a knighthood as respecting parent. It was also a relief in watching yet another white saviour in coming to our aid with our own medicine, to save us from ourselves."
Had seen him in just a few films, but then watched him in The Rover (2014) with Robert Pattinson...now I actively try to watch anything he does! Brilliant actor! Looking forward to this! 😎👍
Great to see Antonio Te Maioha. He played Barca in my favourite TV show of all time. Spartacus: Blood and Sand. I always get a kick when I see actors from that show turn up in other projects.
spartacus was my jam! everyone else was watching game of thrones and i was like no guys, you need to be watching spartacus and krixus fuck shit up! but of course i ended up watching thrones and it was fantastic but still..... SPARTACUS
I remember seeing Guy Pierce way back, in the Australian soap Neighbours! He stood out then as a damned fine actor - so much greater than the average jobbing actors in the rest of the cast. Not at all surprised at his subsequent success. Always a joy to watch his work.
We haven’t had a Predator movie in NZ … but there’s nothing there for them to hunt other than humans, no particularly dangerous wildlife, I don’t think it would be a good setting 😄
Hell, this. Though I would like to see Guy trying to play it straight while Rock shills his mediocre tequila and talks about his cultural heritage amidst the carnage likely to happen here.
Noice ! Guy Pearce is a great actor. Also a Good depiction of Maori and their warrior spirit , which commanded respect and lead to the Treaty of Waitangi . As a German born Kiwi or New Zealander i always appreciated the fierceness of Maori Guys ( i did work with a few) and their strait forward relaxedness .Cherr
directly this statement is correct. I agree... however ... as everything is connected in human nature.. it therefore also does, generally speaking. violence can lead to horror which leads to fear, which can.. with knowledge and intelligence of the matter... teach understanding... which leads to peace..sometimes to only a degree. such as WW2 and the atomic bomb has led to 80 years of the the world regressing from conflict on such a global scale. and also as this movie and many others will show *violence* in order to teach the lesson of peace. Understanding Peace is understanding all of Human Nature, including the very depths of Violence. And as the chicken and the egg, Violence and War had to be born for the understanding of the ideal of Peace and now, the search for its perfection. So ironically using this line in the movie goes against the very fabric of reality in that Peace cannot exist without violence and conflict being capable and used in it and then that they are actually using the interesting yet brutal and horrorific elements of violence itself as the movies motif, trying to teach and therefore 'achieve' peace in general.
After so many movies with all these new concepts and objectives, this movie really hits home for those who want a real comeback to movies like Monte Cristo, Braveheart vibes.
NZ in Winter has a brutality all it's own - the Maori were (and still are) tough bastards to endure such a harsh climate. Throw in tribal warfare and it would have been very hard for the first Pakeha to land on those shores.
@@arthurwatts1680 I now live near the bottom of the South Island of NZ. Trust me the winters are not that bad. Very mild actually and I’ve live all over the world. Don’t blame you on Alaska in winter but late spring is incredible.
It always astounded me how the maori spoke of savages and violence, as if they were not aware of their own history of colonizing and genocide of the original tribes of the islands.
Europeans would have taken many decades more to control New Zealand had the Maori tribes banded together rather than continuing to fight against each other.
I'm not sure about decades, the British never took that long to overwhelm, but things would have been different if the Maoris had joined forces and never signed that stupid treaty. But they didn't.
I wonder if he’s supposed to be portraying an actual missionary to the Islands or if it’s just a fictional character. There is a missionary, John Paton, who lived among the cannibal tribes of the South Pacific. But he wasn’t an a partaker of violence or anything like this shows. Always curious where the source material is coming from.
The most underrated actor in the business...Guy Pearce.
Absolutely. Watch “Lockout” and then watch him in “Lawless…” 😑👌
He was great, kind of dropped off with some absolute garbage like Prometheus, he seems to have come back around a bir
Right??
Fact
Yesssssssssssssssssss 👏
I'll watch Guy Pearce in anything. Great actor.
He really is. He is one of the best to do it.
Hahaha, just glad u didn't say underrated... i'm so sick of seeing that in the comments about 'STARS'! It's always about the really GREAT actors too!
One of my favourites. Great human too!
As Danny in Grease?
He was fantastic in MOMENTO. awesome movie
I see Guy Pearce and I click to watch.
Same
I see guy Pearce and think is Michal Saylor in a movie
I have always deeply appreciated Guy ever since I saw Ravenous. I think that was the first movie I had seen him in as well. Robert Carlyle too. Great flick and great actors
that, was very sneaky!
@@PaulOosterman "...to convalesce, more likely, to die."
Looks amazing. Could be a sleeper hit. Guy is always great and the setting is really interesting, I'm looking forward to seeing it.
Yeah not sure why the dislikes

Guy Pearce! My man! He's the best!

I like Guy. I like historical period pieces. I'm in.
Guy Pearce one of the greatest ever.
Bullshit. He's another nobody who just manages to pass the grade.
Saw him for the first time in The count of Monte Crist. So good an actor.
He was good in L A confidential too.Great film
Great to see Antonio Te Maioha. He played Barca in my favourite TV show of all time. Spartacus: Blood and Sand. I always get a kick when I see actors from that show turn up in other projects.
Omg! Yes, Barca in Spartacus, one of THE best series I’ve seen! I watched that series at least 3 times! Thank you 🙏 for the reminder 😊
spartacus was my jam! everyone else was watching game of thrones and i was like no guys, you need to be watching spartacus and krixus fuck shit up! but of course i ended up watching thrones and it was fantastic but still..... SPARTACUS
A historical period-piece drama/epic with Guy Pearce, hell fucking yes! Will check this out when it goes on streaming
A historical period-piece drama/epic that glosses over the brutal colonisation and makes the main story about the white character...Greaaat..
Out now!!!!
Guy pierce is not underestimated, he is a fine actor

Loved him in Rover. Absolutely underrated.
Absolutely brilliant film! 😎👍
Love Guy Pearce, one of my favs!
Wait until the predator comes to join the party.
they're in hawaii but iight
Yep you know the predator always comes for its prey 🙏
@@origami977 I was thinking Maori near New Zealand
That will fix the movie....
We haven’t had a Predator movie in NZ … but there’s nothing there for them to hunt other than humans, no particularly dangerous wildlife, I don’t think it would be a good setting 😄
Finally a movie that drops the noble savage myth.
Dances with wolves... but on an island.
Came here to say the same 😊
Hopefully the soundtrack is on the same level as Dances with wolves.
💯‼️
Waltzes With Wombats?
haha, I said avatar on an island.
Absolutely loved this dude in Lawless 💯
Thank God Jason Mamoa or the Rock are not part of this 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Especially the rock.
Wait for the sequel! Vin Diesel will be send from GB and The Rock will his tribe against chief Manoa
Guy Pearce...certified Gold in anything he does....
So glad guy's back on screen.
Loved this the first time I saw it when it was called "Dances With Wolves"
I think Ravenous and L.A.Confidential were one of his best movies.
Momento, he pulled that off with ease and that movie is nuts
OmG RAVEnouS.
DEE- LICIOUS😋
I am going to cry my way through this entire movie, I'm sure of it. It looks like an incredible story.
А когда узнаешь настоящую историю, то плакать захочется ещё больше
Looks great!! I cant wait to see this film. It looks like Guy Pearce is throwing his hat in the ring to save Cinema.
Lee Tamahori also directed “The Edge”, starring Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin.
You dont say!🤓
can't wait
finally. lee tamahori where have you been all this time?
Maybe he was upset at the bad reviews he got for Jame's Bond,though I really liked it.
WOW , he kind of reminds me of Count Mondego in this. 😀😃😄😆
Was waiting for the Rock to make an appearance...Thank the lord he didn't!
Hell, this. Though I would like to see Guy trying to play it straight while Rock shills his mediocre tequila and talks about his cultural heritage amidst the carnage likely to happen here.
The Rock cannot act.
@@bramdeoramgolam4237 If he did would probably ask on the contract that he kills everyone with one hand without ever looking weak.
Guy is so good ❤
Brimstone was his best movie performance in my opinion
Guy pierce the legend...... 3rd class movie
We've got this: anticipating actions for refund details
Guy pierce is awesome
wao, awesome trailer, it looks as a must-watch movie, likely a historic one, can't wait for it to hit cinemas, the guy pierce is a fantastic actor!

@@DeviousAzza that's how goverments want you to think but in real life violence solves nothing.

Guy's my guy!
Looks cool!
Guy Pearce the lad from Essex.
Great movie! 💯
I have a feeling this is gonna be so good.
Guy Pearce has effortless talent, he the best actor ever!
I’ve said for a while he’s the best score working today.
Yep. I'm in.
Imagine a movie wiht Guy Pearce and Pierce Brosnan in it - they could be brothers by now - judging from their looks :-)

I have been waiting for this movie watched the trailer last year. What taking it so long. I want to watch this movie
Finally July 12
Time Machine , to the prick in Lawless , Guy Pierce is fantastic
The Mission 2.0. I'm 100% watching this.
Reminds me of The Mission in a sense.
Like Guy Pearce, want to see this.
He is BACK !
I had no idea his time machine was in New Zealand the whole time.

@@JOSEPHDANCE75 let me guess - the sheep were absolutely fine. That's a really baaad attempt at humour but it's all I've got.
wow, want to watch
It always astounded me how the British spoke of savages and violence, as if they were not the aware of their own history.
Their definition of a 'savage' is one who has not accepted the word of Christ.
@@jackanarchy99 Which is pretty ironic how now they are mostly "atheists", well most Westerns anyway.

FINALLY a story showing how we made New Zealand into a nice place to live
By NOT joining Australia 😂
I loved him as Mike.
Okay. Looks good. I'm game!
Great movie!
I have zero connection to Mauri culture, but damn this is some fine representation of a badass people.
Hey, that's Barca from Spartacus!
MOANA 3 Live Action
cool !!
Guy Pierce was formiddable in Brimstone!
Holy smokes.
release date ?

What's time, Mr Wolf ?
I like superhero stuff but it's great to have more mature content too. PLUS it's got Guy Pearce so I'm in
I'm so confused what continent the story takes place on. Australia?
We die as warriors.........
Big words .... then you die.

Looks interesting 🤔
Such an underrated and underappreciated actor
If only Guy Pearce had mentioned ‘rugby’ when he landed!
Yo, it's Barka from Spartacus
This movie will produce an outcry.
This is the live action Moana we need!
Yeah, Pearce is one of the HEAVY WEIGHTS...
What is that second language? I heard another language in here
I say Guy and thought, who's this guy?

This is the move I am most looking forward to this year.
