Went to the cinema today, saw The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. One of the trailers got me really excited. It had no title, only a release date, ala the early Cloverfield trailers.
It started with clips of the government assembling a team of scientists for an unspecified task. Then cut to Keanu Reeves in an empty room hooked up to a lie detector being asked questions. He says that something bad is going to happen, and that they should let him go. Then it cuts to a Close Encounters style scene where a big glowing spaceship hovers over a wood full of scientists in NBC gear. Then a larger glowing spaceship is seen hovering over a city. Then the city is seen being disintegrated by a cloud of black particles (which I assume to be nanobots).
First thing I thought of was Forge of God by Greg Bear. I haven't read it in a while, but it seems a pretty close match to me. If it is, I hope the don't screw it up. Also wondering why there hasn't been an Eon movie yet.
