taksraven Posted August 24, 2009 Author Posted August 24, 2009 Space 2999? Good accidental concept for a show there. Moonbase Alpha 1000 years on. 3 million Alphans!! Super-advanced Eagles!! Rock and Roll!!!! Taksraven Quote
taksraven Posted August 24, 2009 Author Posted August 24, 2009 The Excalibur remake feels most uncomfortable. Like repainting the Sistine Chapel. I loved the "gritty" nature of Excalibur. People rolling around in pigshit and mud. Armour covered in blood. Certainly much better than that "First Knight" load of crap. A remake would suck. Taksraven Quote
electric indigo Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 Don't forget "O fortuna" from the Carmina Burana. And the fancy armors. And the rotting knights. Awesomeness galore. Quote
HappyPenguins Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 You waited too long: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0129871/ holy crap, I can't believe I didn't know about this I just watched the trailer....I guess it looks alright I might rent it, hopefully netflix has it. thanks! Quote

Excillon Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 I remember hearing something about Logan's Run getting remade, is that true? Quote
taksraven Posted August 25, 2009 Author Posted August 25, 2009 I remember hearing something about Logan's Run getting remade, is that true? I think its still pretty much in the rumor/development hell stage, and I think i heard of Singers name attached to THAT as well. Taksraven Quote

I thought the '88 version was a rather innovative take on the story...until I saw George Romero's "The Crazies" and realized that they nabbed the whole Government Virus/Cover-Up plotline from there. But a Rob Zombie version...? It could be good, it could be bad, but above all else I'm sure it will be incredibly gross. Quote
miles316 Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 I'd always though that was just his wing name, that everyone just used as he was used to it in an airmed forces sort of way. Al la Kara Thrace being called Starbuck by most every one most of the time. I think that M Bay making an Airwolf remake would work since the script writing would be easy since all his films have Helicopter blowing shite up, plenty of Slooooooow mo fly past opertunities as well. I was watching one of the Cyborgs 009 anime series it was the one with the alternate reality were the Cold war lasted over a hundred years, and the Eastern Block creeps sent a helicopter that was exactly like Air Wolf to destroy the Protaganist.

Bowen Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 And keeping with the '80's classics, from what I've read (no, didn't save the source, sorry) Liam Neeson is supposedly set/in talks to play Hannibal in the A-Team movie that should be done somewhere next year, with some guy (nick)named Barricade (probably either a rapper or wrestler...) supposedly approached for the role of B.A. ... I've got serious doubts about an A-Team movie guys... Quote

arrow Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 even a bad book/anime/comic book movie adaptation is better than a remake. Quote

Whamhammer Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Yeah, agree with you there. It's sad when people don't know anything about Heinlein's original "Starship Troopers" novel, since it pretty much started the whole "powered suit" thing in science fiction. This is Macross World, for crying out loud! I think Verhoeven's film is an entertaining spoof of the novel, as well as an interesting mind-frak for American audiences ("WE are the Nazis...") Unfortunately, that pretty much went right over the heads of 99% of American viewers. I can understand why he hated the original novel -- the book IS an extreme right-wing, libertarian polemic. What is strange though is to have the movie be a _stealth_ spoof, posing as a straight adaptation. Heinlein was probably rolling in his grave... There is definitely room for a more faithful remake, with the powered armor. They would unfortunately probably make it all CGI now, but with mo-cap it might still look good. The seen with the guy griping about his fellow soldier setting off a nuke "too close" to him would be hillarious!!! Quote
Whamhammer Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Final Countdown , but this time with the song from Europe in it! Doing re-makes are really hard to do. Sometimes, its better to watch a spoof that pays homeage to it. The "Living Dead" remakes were painfull. Might as well have been watching "Attack fo th eKiller Tomatoes".... Quote

The 1990 remake of Night of the Living Dead was interesting, at least, in that the set-up was the same but the story played out differently. The remake of Dawn of the Dead was all right, and had a great soundtrack. The Day of the Dead remake, though, was crap through and through. I'll agree with you there. Quote

I liked the 1990 remake of NOTLD too, it was a different take on the story not to mention the zombies from that film were very realistic since tom savini had worked with real corpses before. and some of the other remakes werent bad, except day of the dead... could of done without that one Quote

Jin Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 I anxiously await for the anouncement of a Mr Belvadere or Perfect Strangers movie... joking aside, I believe Rampage Jackson was cast as the part of BA for the A-Team. Quote

My biggest concern with a remake of a show like the A-Team isn't so much the script or the cast, but rather that the original show was absolutely shite and this fact alone dramatically increases the chances of the remake being shite.

Taksraven You dont know how much that show entertained infantrymen around the world. I cant remember a time where I wasnt in the field during an excecise and someone would bring up that group of bad guys in that Jeep getting blown up and out of thier ride in slow motion. Brings back the memories......... Quote
