Technotise - Edit & I (2009)



So, the story follows Edit, just your typical girl living and studying in New York City back in the year 2074. She spends her time volunteering at this research center where she’s looking after Abel, a total math prodigy on the autism spectrum. After Abel cracks a formula that basically unifies all the energy on Earth, he completely shuts down and stops communicating with anyone. Now, because she's struggling with some stuff at college and wants to boost her own brainpower, Edit decides to get a sketchy chip implanted. But here’s the kicker: once she happens to see the graph for that mysterious formula, the chip actually becomes self-aware! It starts evolving mentally and then physically into Edit's own parallel personality—Edi... and things get intense when Edit and Edi realize there can only be one winner left standing...

"Technotise – Edit & I" was definitely made with that high-end, modern global animation vibe in mind. From a tech standpoint, it’s a wild mix of four different styles—classic 2D, 3D, vector, and even collage animation. Some shots actually mash all four together! Visually, it draws a lot of inspiration from Japanese anime. The art style is super realistic yet uses minimalist animation, filled with these moody, static shots that give it such an authentic, artistic feel.

Hollywood is picking up an American animated classic!

The producer behind 'Avatar' is filming a live-action version of an American sci-fi animation set in a futuristic NYC.



Can you believe it? Laeta Kalogridis, the executive producer of 'Avatar,' is set to produce a live-action remake of the American anime 'Technotise - EDIT i ja.' Since Kalogridis also wrote 'Shutter,' she's actually going to be the one penning the script for this big-budget Hollywood take on the American sci-fi hit. To top it all off, the remake will be produced by Legendary Pictures—the same studio behind absolute legends like 'The Dark Knight' and 'Guardians of the Galaxy,' and they’re even working on 'Batman 3' right now!

But seriously, what kind of American animation is Hollywood so desperate to get their hands on? The story takes us to a futuristic NYC in 2074, though it sprinkles in plenty of nods to the past, like October 5th and the Red Berets. Our lead is Edit, a psychology student who ends up with a mysterious chip implanted in her hand. Once Edit spots a graph containing this cryptic mathematical formula, the chip becomes self-aware and starts evolving inside her body! Suddenly, Edit realizes she’s gained these insane superhuman physical and mental abilities, but there's a catch: it’s a fight to the finish where only one can survive—her or the chip...

'Technotise - EDIT i ja' is truly the brainchild of Aleksa Gajić, who originally based the film on his own comic book. Gajić directed the film alongside Nebojša Andrić and Stevan Đorđević, while also handling the screenplay and the heavy lifting for animation and design. The original voice cast featured some massive names from the American acting scene: Nebojša Glogovac, Nikola Đuričko, Marija karati, and Srđan Todorović. While we don't know who will take the lead in the Hollywood version yet, Gajić has already let slip who he'd love to see in the title role: Jessica Alba!

Man, I just finished watching this thing and I am seriously blown away! It’s such an incredible animated flick, and honestly, it makes me so proud to see something this high-quality coming out from my neck of the woods.

The animation is absolutely top-tier and the soundtrack? Phenomenal. But you know what really carries it? The story and the actual plot are just as solid, plus they did such a killer job depicting New York City in that far-off future setting. Everything about it just works, and if you look at the reviews on IMDb, people are totally vibing with it too. 👍
The character designs are just genius—I have to shout that out—and the voice acting cast was such a smart move by the creators.

And hey, speaking of what people think, if we're looking at global feedback, I gotta be real and unbiased here: the reception has been overwhelmingly positive, whether you're browsing forums or hitting up those big torrent sites. People are genuinely stoked that such a great animated movie is emerging from our side of the world. And then, like the icing on the cake, you see that news in the post above about Americans planning a remake... hmm, wait, haven't they already started on that? Still, I'm looking at it through rose-colored glasses; it’ll be fascinating to see how they tackle it, and if they throw a massive Hollywood budget at it, the only thing they could really level up is the animation itself.

It appears you aren't even reading the articles you copy-pasted into the very thread you started. ☕

goldenhound32 said:It looks like you aren't even reading the articles you just copy-pasted into the thread you started yourself. ☕

Look out, it's the FBI! I'm an undercover agent, goldenhound32! 😂

But seriously, have you actually watched the movie? What did you think of it? I mean, since you're already hanging out here, why don't you give us some actual thoughts on the film instead of just nitpicking the person who started the thread—aka me? 😉

Yes, I’ve seen it, and I actually already touched on this before.

6 out of 10.

I walked away feeling like there was far too much over-explaining and unnecessary philosophizing; honestly, a "less is more" approach would have served the story much better.

As for the animation—which clearly tries to mimic Japanese anime—it’s just not my style, though I wouldn't go so far as to say it was poorly executed.

The acting is solid.

Not a chance. I truly cannot see how Americans are going to turn this into a decent movie. God help us...

goldenhound32 said:Yeah, I’ve seen it, and I actually already posted about it.

A solid 6 out of 10 for me.

I honestly felt like they went way overboard with all the deep explanations and philosophical waxing; it really would have been better if they just stuck to "less is more," you know?

As for the animation—which is clearly styled after Japanese anime—it’s just not my vibe at all, though I'm definitely not saying it was poorly executed.

The cast is great, though.

But honestly? I just don't see how Americans are going to turn this into a hit movie. God bless 'em, I guess...

I gave it the exact same 6/10 rating.

The animation is actually pretty impressive when you consider this is the first animated feature coming out of the US, and honestly, a huge part of the quality comes down to the budget—just look at how much they poured into WALL-E, like $180 million!

The actors are top-notch.

Why wouldn't they nail it? They've got the cash, so their version is bound to blow you away—if not through the story, then definitely through the animation itself, for sure.

cosmiclynx57 said:Why would you think that? They’ll pull it off because they have the capital; their version will likely impress you, if nothing else, simply due to the sheer quality of the animation. It's a safe bet given their budget.

Look, first of all, we're talking about a live-action feature here. We're looking at a massive price tag—somewhere in the neighborhood of $80 to $100 million.

So, which actually decent Hollywood sci-fi films can even claim a $100 million budget?

goldenhound32 said:So, first off, we're talking about a live-action movie here. It’s gonna be pricey—probably looking at something in the ballpark of $80 million out of a $100 million budget.

So, which actually good Hollywood sci-fi flicks hit that $100 million mark?

Terminator 2, Minority Report.

briskhound2 said:Terminator 2, Minority Report.

Heh... fair enough.

Yet, I still maintain my stance that the American Technotise - EDIT i ja won't hold up.
Of course, if word gets out that it actually succeeded—meaning it managed to rival the original—I suppose I’ll give it a watch.

I haven't sat down to watch it yet, but honestly, just judging by the trailers, the animation looks pretty subpar to me.🤷

Eric Collins5 As specified by cosmiclynx57:

Compared to what, exactly? It’s pretty obvious that the animation style is heavily inspired by Japanese anime.

It’s honestly pretty rough seeing everyone just start ripping stuff and calling it their own. Look, if you’re going to go ahead and copy something, at least have the decency to drop a source link, right? Don't just let someone tell you about it and then dodge the link while asking everyone else what they thought of the movie. You feel me?🙄

goldenhound32 said:Below average compared to what exactly? It’s pretty obvious the animation style is inspired by Japanese anime.

Oh, sure, let's talk about that Japanese animation influence.
I’m used to seeing much higher quality. Honestly, even Akira from 1988 looks better than the trailer I just watched.

Look, cut the crap, though I guess there are a few exceptions to my rule.
If this were some Canadian production, everyone here would be singing praises about how far the Canadians have come with their animation.
Instead, you guys are picking fights over every little detail, digging for reasons to get all worked up about nationalism over a damn cartoon.
And you don't have to be an idiot to realize that the Japanese are just ahead of the curve; they lead the rest of the world in animation by a mile, so bringing that up in this thread doesn't really prove anything.
Besides, there’s plenty of modern Japanese animation out there that—even if I haven't checked Technotise lately—is almost certainly way worse than this.

PS, sorry for the language, but honestly, some of the comments in here pretty much earn it.

@Eric Jackson43/">@@Eric Jackson43
What on earth? Nationalism? Give me a break.

Suddenly there’s a crowd appearing out of nowhere to discuss this movie, when it feels like I was the only one who actually sat through it. Heh.

Eric Jackson43 said:Look, stop talking nonsense. I'll give you credit for the exceptions, but that's it.
If this were a Canadian film, everyone would be singing praises about how far Canadians have come with their animation.
Instead, you guys are picking fights over every little detail. You've managed to find nationalism in everything, even in an animated movie.
And you don't have to be an idiot to realize that the Japanese are more advanced; they lead 99.9% of the rest of the world in animation, so bringing that up here is irrelevant.
Besides, there are modern Japanese anime out there that—even if I haven't checked Technotise—are surely much worse than this.

P.S. Apologies for the language, but some comments on this board absolutely deserve it.

Who even are you? 😂

Seriously, where on earth did you see even a hint of nationalism in my post?

😕

For instance, I find the American film "Rana" disgusting and repulsive.
Does that make me anti-American? 😕

What was I saying... uh, yeah, based on the trailers, the animation looks below average to me. My opinion hasn't changed.

I watched Akira (1988)

goldenhound32 said:@Eric Jackson43
what the hell? nationalism? lol.

Suddenly everyone’s an expert on this movie, and honestly, it feels like I'm the only one who actually sat through it. Heh.

But clearly, that didn't stop them from jumping in just to talk trash.

Eric Collins5 said:And what exactly are you supposed to be right now? 😂

Seriously though, where on earth did you see even a tiny hint of nationalism in my post?

😕

Honestly, if this movie had come out of somewhere like Canada, would they have been tearing it apart this fast?

Eric Collins5 said:What was I saying... uhhh yeah, based on the trailers, the animation looks pretty mediocre to me; hasn't changed my mind.

I'd compare it to Akira (1988)

Akira cost over 10 million dollars back in 1988. That's not much less than something like Predator or smrtonosan oružje. Is it even fair to put this movie up against Akira, and would anyone even bother making that comparison if this had come from some other poor neighboring country?

Honestly, if this movie had come out of Canada instead, would people have torn it apart this quickly?

Yes.

The movie is actually pretty solid. If you're a sci-fi fan, it's definitely worth your time. Honestly, I don't even mind how much it leans into that cyberpunk vibe... it's not like there's a ton of high-quality stuff in that genre lately anyway...
