Fly4victory Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 If you are talking about the movie with the Queen soundtrack, it is out on DVD. Or at least it was. Reminds me I need to go watch it again. NO not the live action. This one We can keep Queen for the ending credits like at the end of Spider-man 1. Quote

areaseven Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) And now for another comparison between a film and its remake. Pour Elle (Anything for Her)TF1 Films/Fidelite Films, 2008Directed by Fred CavayéStarring: Vincent Lindon as Julien Aucler, Diane Kruger (Bridget in Inglourious Basterds, Helen in Troy) as Lisa AuclerJulien and Lisa Aucler are a happy couple living with their son Oscar, until one day, Lisa is arrested and sentenced to 20 years in prison for a murder she did not commit. Three years later, when he cannot come up with enough evidence to prove her innocence, Julien seeks advice from a former convict and plots the perfect plan to spring his wife out of prison. The Next Three DaysHighway 61 Films/Lionsgate Films, 2010Directed by Paul Haggis (Crash, In the Valley of Elah)Starring: Russell Crowe (Lt. Corbett in Blood Oath, Andy in Proof) as John Brennan, Elizabeth Banks (Betty Brant in the Spider-Man trilogy) as Lara Brennan, Liam Neeson (Gawain in Excalibur, Kegan in Krull) as Damon PenningtonUnlike most remakes, The Next Three Days sticks to the core plot of the original film. Unfortunately, writer/director Paul Haggis has made the film inferior to the original by complicating the plot with unnecessary twists and an emphasis on American homeland security, as well as a shameless plug on the Toyota Prius. As a result, the film winds up in different directions most of the time. Sure, it has Russell Crowe and Liam Neeson (who only appears for at most five minutes), but star power isn't enough to clean up the damage caused by the rewrite.As a remake, it's not horrible like The Tourist, but there are a lot of frivolous elements that make it not as good as the original.

eugimon Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 "twilight" should have tipped you off. Quote
Greyryder Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Interesting that they chose to focus on the fact that she wrote the Twilight movies, while Sci-Fi Wire (or whatever they're calling themselves, these days) was quick to point out the other things she's worked on. Honestly, I've been feeling for a while that this franchise needs a reboot. The first movie is a classic, that stands pretty solidly on its own. But, everything they did afterwards really screwed things up. After they started basing movies on the TV series, there was really no hope left for that franchise. Seriously, have you seen The Source? I'm honestly not expecting it to be as good as the original, but with luck, it'll be better than any of the sequels. (setting that bar pretty low, ain't I?) Quote
anime52k8 Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) Highlander: Endgame was good, god dammit. Edited February 11, 2011 by anime52k8 Quote
VT 1010 Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Highlander II was so awful, I never got around to the others. I'm still hesitant. I knew the remake was going to be bad when I heard that Justin Lin was directing. In my mind, with the Highlander movies, there can be only one. Quote
Uxi Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Highlander was trash after the first movie. The first couple seasons of the series were good, but they jumped the shark with the Watchers (having them as a SMALL group that went rogue could have been feasible) Quote
Keith Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 In Highlander, the Hghlander killed all the other Highlanders, and gained the Highlander prize. How could there possibly be anything after that? Quote

chrisk Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 A Doom remake? Jesus. Update on the much-anticipated Red Dawn remake: Despite filming finishing in 2009 and production already complete (starring upcoming 'Thor' actor Chris Hemsworth as the protagonist Jed Eckert), MGM had a quick and dramatic change of heart, realising a film focusing on Chinese invaders is unlikely to go down well... in China. Instead, the studio took the unusual step to change the dialogue and alter all Chinese references to North Korean in a post-production digital overhaul. http://uk.movies.yahoo.com/blog/article/151574/red-dawn-remake-replaces-nationality-of-villains.html Quote

Ghost Train Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Why not just make the villains from the Red Dawn movie, freedom-hating / gun-control / free healthcare / high taxes extraterrestrials with plasma weapons from the planet Zeta Reticuli VI ? This way no one be offend. Quote
eugimon Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I wonder if they realize that it's not cool to make North Korea the villains either Wow... seriously? North Korea taking over the United States? It would be far more believable if the plot centered around zombie dolphins in giant bowl aquarium mecha taking over the united states, only to be repelled by a hamster laura croft in a little black halter top.
