Alright, what the hell is the deal with remaking a movie thats 8 years old?

WAT THE FUK

[Pentegarn]

I guess since pretty much everyone in the last 3 movies either doesn't want to or is too unattractive to play their characters they needed a reboot.

But didn't Hulk get a remake in that short of a time too? Granted it needed it but still.

[Grislygus]

Let The Right One In was remade two years after it came out, and it got rave critical reviews because it was the exact same fucking movie with a facelift


And since no one actually remembered ang lee's crapfest, they were set for the hulk. Also, no one outside of comic book people give a rat's ass about the hulk

[k0k0]

I'm guessing that they're doing this remake because all the teens who watched the first one and saw it through the third are grown up enough to not want to watch another shitfest. None of the kids these days wants to come in on Part 4 and watch it, especially when they ruined the fuck out of it. It's kinda like "hey, do over?" "Yeah, do over." I can't wait til they remake Jurassic Park with the dinosaurs carrying walkie talkies instead of sharp teeth.

[Aaarg]

i came in to bitch about let the right one in FUCK GUS

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I loved ang lee's hulk. But in the same way as charlie s angels full throttle.

[Hangie]

That first person perspective part at the end of the trailer looked like something from a gmod movie.

I don't know what I saw anymore; an original or a remake.

[Tadao]

Rob Zombies Halloween I and II are vastly superior to the originals. :posh

[Mad Melvin]

No.

[ThrashO]

After Astro Creep 2000 someone should have ran over Rob Zombie.

[executioneer]

man hellbilly deluxe was all right, they shoulda run him over after that

[Aaarg]

I used to think Hellbilly Deluxe was all right in the same way I used to think Michale Graves was all right in the Misfits.

I WAS WRONG ON BOTH ACCOUNTS.

White Zombie was great. :(

I don't know what I saw anymore; an original or a remake.

Did it take place in Sweden or New Mexico or wherever the American remake was?

[executioneer]

idk i still love superbeast and demonoid phenomenon :(

[Aaarg]

haha superbeast is all right. i think there's another song on there i like, maybe it's how to make a monster.

i remember liking the "house of 1000 corpses" song too

[Tadao]

The remake of Nightmare on Elm Street was pure awesome.

[Pentegarn]

I see you allowed time for a trip to the bait shop between those two posts :lol

[Tadao]

I am totally for reALS

[Tadao]

I can't wait for the remake of Conan.

[Mad Melvin]

The jig is up, you ruffian. Just stop.

[Tadao]

But I haven't told you how much I like the Rock's version of Walking Tall. :(

[Tadao]

and how much better Clash of the Titans is now that it's in 3D and has an improved storyline that is easier to follow.

[ThrashO]

I hope they remake Transformers 3 soon.

[Markchip]

I was looking for something like this…I found it quiet interesting, hopefully you will keep posting such blogs….Keep sharing the information.

I HAVE A HUGE BONER

But why come is it do that?

[k0k0]

I once got bit by malware. I turned into a warez wolf.

[Tadao]

Just heard the are finishing up the remake of Total Recall. :tear

[Fathom Zero]

Bryan Cranston plays Cohaagen. :O

But Colin Farrell plays Quaid. :(

I liked the new clash movie. It was just as good as Combat Rock.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Just saw a fright night remake trailer yesterday too.

[Pedro]

They should do a remake of Navy SEALs.

[ThrashO]

They should do a remake of Navy SEALs.

y?

[Pentegarn]

Think the better reply there would be "Where?" As in "where is your spam new spambot? I do not see it"

[Zhukov]

So was the original set in Sweden? That's the one I saw, and it was really quite good.

[Rongi]

I thought this thread was going to be about Spike Lee remaking Oldboy

[Zomboid]

Think the better reply there would be "Where?" As in "where is your spam new spambot? I do not see it"

He's not a spambot, braw.

Rongi - Did you actually hear that somewhere?

[Sam]

I'VE HEARD IT TOO, IT'S A REAL THING.

OLDBOY IS NOW ABOUT THE OPPRESSION OF THE WHITES.

[Pentegarn]

He's not a spambot, braw.


I know, but since I assume all new people are spambots I am riding this till he snaps or I get bored of it :lol

[Zomboid]

I don't want a remake of Oldboy :(. Then again, I actually preferred the first movie in that trilogy. I liked Oldboy and Lady Vengeance about the same.

[Rongi]

Rongi - Did you actually hear that somewhere?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1321511/

I understand why people might think this is all a big hoax, but no it's really happening and it will probably suck horribly

[Rongi]

And this is coming from someone who likes a few Spike Lee movies

[Tadao]

I hear Kid Rock is going to be in it.

[Pentegarn]

Someone must have been wow'd by his performance in Joe Dirt

[Lastpatriot]

If the new Spider-Man doesn't have Bonesaw, I'm not watching it.

[Tadao]

Yes you will.

[Supafly345]

Okay you're right, but I definitely won't see it without a soundtrack by Bono and The Edge.

[Grislygus]

I hear Kid Rock is going to be in it.

Will someone please fucking murder him already? Please? Some lunatic or disgruntled fan angry about him breaking the laws of space and time by somehow getting WORSE with the whole country music thing? He doesn't have to suffer, but he needs to stop existing

[Kitsa]

I heard Alex Winter was going to redo Rock n Roll High School and I am fairly upset about this, but as long as it never really happens that'll be ok.

It's older than 8 years, I know, but I just happened to remember it.

I know the reply that I'm going to get but I wouldn't mind seeing kid rock in concert. If you don't listen to all the radio singles he has he is actually pretty talented and can play 18 different instruments.

I wouldn't mind this either. I love Alex Winter.

Rock 'n Roll Highschool isn't interesting without the Ramones.


Image if they redid it with Lady Gaga or Ke$ha. :(

[k0k0]

It's not really a remake, or a sequel for that matter since it doesn't involve the same characters, but they are planning on making a new scarface movie. Which sounds like it will be utterly shit.

[replicant]

Eww.... that is a horrible thought, Nick. Let's just hope they don't go there.

[J. Tithonus Pednaud]

I dislike remakes, I think they are often just lazy. But they can be instant bank for a studio.

A ready made fan base, previous public awareness and a proven story/script are all reasons for a remake.

Sometimes, studios screw up when they forget about one of those elements.

The Fright Night remake failed because it was a cult film - not enough public awareness of the title - and the fans that exist are rabid fans of the original. The studio didn't understand this and didn't expect the fans to completely ignore the remake.

Had it been a reboot, with a nod to the original, it might have been a different story.

The Planet of the Apes remake was a financial success because it had name recognition, the fans of the original were open to an update and the story was a proven formula. It was a critical failure, but a financial success.

In fact, the POTA property and brand was strong enough to make the prequel a GIANT success despite the fact that it was technically a prequel to a shit remake.

I can see why studios do it. It's a low risk move. But it is a low blow move that I don't respect. I'd rather see some original stuff rather than recent rehashes. I'd say a film should to be at least 30 years old before it's remade unless it is a retelling and re-imagining of source material outside of a previous film.

But I guess by that logic I have to give the Spider-Man reboot a pass.

[MailCall]

You know it's gone too far when they remake a remake:
Txjm94GnrPA

[kahljorn]

so i saw previews for the thing

is anybody gonna see it?

i dont want to but also really want to at the same time

[ThrashO]

I just love the original so much that I kind of want to see what they do with it.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I might go see it. Its actually not a remake though. spoilers for this movie unless you've already seen the original:::::
The new THING movie is a prequel about the russian team or whatever from the original movie. So you know what happened to the first team that finds the THING. THEY ALL GONNA DIE BY THE END OF THE NEW MOVIE.

[J. Tithonus Pednaud]

I guess a remake of a remake just was too much.

From what I hear though, the new Thing walks a very fine line between remake and prequel. The tested film waswas shit on so much by fans that the studio got scared and demanded rewrites as well as reshoots to change elements. This thing has been in post for a long time now.

I've also heard that the monster sequences did not test well and are vastly different in both tone and appearance from the Carpenter version - which leads one to question how it can be a prequel if it's so different.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Wasn't that what the thing was though? A shapeshifter?

[Phoenix Gamma]

So I had this idea...

We take Spider-man, and we replace Toby McGuire with a prettyboy with an Edward Cullen haircut. That whole "ordinary guy becoming Spiderman" thing is tots gay and we need a new face.

Oh, and while we're making Peter Parker look handsome, let's have him rarely wear the Spider-man mask. Like, give him the suit, but have him keep the mask off for 70% of the scenes where he's actually Spider-man.

Oh oh! And let's keep the comedy to a minimum. Spider-man isn't some wise-cracking smartmouth. He's an angsty kid. The best part of Spider-man 3 was the part where he was a fucking tool, after all.

Perfect! This is better than that time they turned the Joker into a hobo in a pimp suit!

[Zomboid]

I don't get the Joker reference.

[dextire]

I would also like to know what movie has hobo Joker.

[Tadao]

ICP

[Phoenix Gamma]

Dark Knight.

>:

[Zomboid]

:\

[kahljorn]

to be fair he did kind o flook like he rummaged around in garbage a lot.

smeared ketchup up the side of his face from desperately licking ketchup off of napkins and fast food restaurant trays. His suit is trashy enough already, but dudes so poor he can't even afford the matching hat with the top punched out.

[Zomboid]

But his tone implies that it didn't work, which it really, really did. Spider-Man frequently going maskless is a bit much, though. I'm not the least bit interested in that anyway, though.
