...mmm....mmm....yeah I can see that....

Klaatu is shot, falls down to to one knee in pain, looks up holding bloody shoulder and says: "whoa".

 

[Johnny Angell]

It would be a moving moment. Just thinking of it brings me to tears

 

[Malcolm R]

Yep, "Tinman," a 3-part mini-series, is on Sci-Fi the first weekend in December.

Dude...Klaatu barada Excellent!

The problem as I see it isn't the director, actor or writer it's this overshadow/disposable film feeling I get when this crap happens. Remakes of movies always leave a sour taste in my mouth, even more so with the great films. Sometimes remakes overshadow the original i.e. Steven Speilberg's "War of the Worlds". Some times the're disposable i.e. Rob Zombie's "Halloween". Some films do not need a remake. I would go as far to say all of them don't, but, I'm sure some would disagree. I can't tell you how many times I've had conversations about movies and people think I'm talking about the remake instead of the original. Most recently, I was having a discussion with a friend of mine about "Planet of the Apes". He thought it was overdone and silly. I was shocked. Then I found he was referring to the remake. I said, "Haven't you ever seen the original?" He said,"No, and I don't want to now." That's not a good thing and many people are left with that feeling I'm sure. Films should stand the test of time on thier own merrits rather than being remade into star vehicles for actors. I say make sequels. If that's not realistic and possible then don't do anything and leave them the hell alone.

I'm not sure where all the hate for Keanu comes from. I actually think he's ok. I enjoyed his roles in "The Matrix" trilogy, "Constantine", "The Replacements", "Devil's Advocate", etc, etc.

neither of those movies was a remake of the previous.

I couldn't find a good movie poster for The Wiz

Actually the remake of The Maltese Falcon is the one we all love. The same is true of the Judy Garland Wizard of Oz. We just forgot about the first versions.

How about Arnold in silver body paint for Gort?

 

[Malcolm R]

Have you seen Arnold lately?

How about Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson?

I just bought the original today! Forgot they were being lazy arses and doing a remake...
Um, it might look interesting?

 

[DavidPla]

Something that I think that might work very powerfully if done right in this remake is the shutting down of ALL our technology.. could make for a very powerful scene. I mean.. remember in the 1950s it being shut down but compare that today where most EVERYTHING is done with technology.

Then there'd be the mass hysteria of "OH MY ZOMBIE RAPTOR JEEBUS! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" And then I'd say, "Oh look! A three-headed monkey!" and run off like a ninny.
Could be great if the makers of the remake make heavy nods to the original in the promotional stuff they're doing. Perhaps the film will be over 2 hours and 20 minutes. This could be an epic high sci-fi film if the filmmakers know what they're doing.

 

[Edwin-S]

All those books, graphic novels, and original screenplays out there and all they can do is remake after remake. Why do this film? The original is good enough. Who needs an updated version? This just has BOMB written all over it with the attention deficit disordered audiences of today.

Bloody hell, make some actual films with stories we haven't seen before, instead of this constant recycling. We would no longer need landfills if we recycled garbage like Hollywood recycles their film scripts.

 

[Sam Favate]

Is that poster for real? Is this really coming this December?

 

[DavidPla]

Teaser is being released with Hancock.. hopefully it pops up online soon.

 

[todd s]

[Sam Favate]
