Graham Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Remake of Videodrome.... http://www.darkhorizons.com/news/13973/-vi...gets-new-flesh/ No............remaking it as an action movie.....Grrrrrr. Graham Quote
taksraven Posted May 21, 2009 Author Posted May 21, 2009 I'm cautiously optimistic about a Robert Rodriguez Predator movie. I would rather see a Richard Ramirez version. (very bad joke) But a Cliffhanger remake!!!! WTF are they thinking? Graham Its funny, everybody I talk to about this one is stunned. Maybe the general outrage might be enough to get the project cancelled. We can live in hope. Taksraven Quote
sharky Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) Next, they'll be talking about remaking Alien and Aliens! Graham Ask and you shall receive. http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/16328 Ridley Scott is supposed to be involved as producer, so I'm crossing my fingers that it won't totally suck. But, the director is Carl Rinsch who directs commercials and music videos. We all know how that usually turns out. Cough...Terminator Salvation...cough. I'm just shaking my head because this is one reboot we really do not need. The original still holds water to this day IMO. The last part says it's still in rumor phase at this point. I have mixed feelings because I love the original yet I am thirsty for some good Alien/Aliens movies and the toys that go along with it. Edited May 29, 2009 by sharky Quote
Ghadrack Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 ROFL, have you guys seen the trailers for the Sherlock Holmes action combat movie starring Robert Downey jr.? I hope that trailer was misrepresentative of the contents of the film but I don't think it will be, they were bouncing back and forth between Sherlock Holmes being goofy and aloof, to slow motion, big sound, clips of a bare chested, bare knuckle boxing match where he looked like a raging beast. Seriously, it looked like a spoof trailer, or at the end it was going to be titled "Action Holmes, He'll blow your mind, and kick your butt!" Quote
kanedaestes Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Yeah he it looks like a Guy Ritchie film, which wouldn't be bad if it were not a Sherlock Holmes film. It doesn't seem like Guy Ritchie doesn't have another other style than his fast paced one. Quote

Seriously, it looked like a spoof trailer, or at the end it was going to be titled "Action Holmes, He'll blow your mind, and kick your butt!" Technically, that's not out-of-character...you rarely see him boxing in the stories, but he does tell Watson that he used to be a boxer, and does use those skills once or twice. (And did you know that Watson was previously a soldier, serving in Afghantistan? Maybe they should throw that into the movie to give it something of a "modern twist." ) Quote
Ghadrack Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 I've read a couple of the novels by Doyle, and I know that Holmes isn't supposed to be a wallflower, quite to the contrary, but you'd have to see the trailer to understand where I'm coming from I guess. It doesn't feel at all like a Sherlock Holmes movie from the trailer to me, it looked like Simon & Simon go to England and learn to be ultimate fighters. Quote
EXO Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 I would rather see a Richard Ramirez version. (very bad joke) I just got an idea for a reality show... I'm a serial killer/cannibal, get me off this Island! No really PLEASE!!! Quote

Oh, I'm sure it's incredibly lame...but I think it's kind of cool that they picked up on that detail. Everyone makes a big fuss about the cocaine use and the violin playing, no one ever talks about the pugilism or the monograph on different types of tobacco ash... Quote
VT 1010 Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 New Heavy Metal movie? http://www.aintitcool.com/node/41330 Quote
505thAirborne Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 New Heavy Metal movie? http://www.aintitcool.com/node/41330 Its official, if it wasn't already that Hollywood is completely out of fresh ideas or creative writers. If you've seen the 1st Heavy Metal or like me ready the old Comics, its Old school animation, Bad A$$ soundtrack, fun, weird and trippy with a classical horrible script, but it was fun for the time. I just recently saw Heavy Metal 2000, ehhh, so-so at best. Another attempt at the franchise would have to be something truly jaw-dropping awesome!! Quote
