taksraven Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 Definitely SF this one: Capricorn One: http://www.darkhorizons.com/news08/080605f.php This is really getting absurd. The original started with an interesting concept and degenerated into a crappy chase for the second half of the film.... Taksraven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taksraven Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 Deathrace http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0452608/ did we really need another? Apparently we do. And if you believe the reports about this new one, it will be a very "watered down" version too. Taksraven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warmaker Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 A remake of Deathrace 2000?1!!/? Why? The original was great in a cheesey, very violent way. David Carradine and Sylvester Stallone FTW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electric indigo Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Since sequels are only one step behind remakes in their evilness, I'm posting this here: A follow up to 1991's "Point Break" is in the making. They still try to get Patrick Swayze into the boat (and keeping him alive...), though. http://www.darkhorizons.com/news07/070516a.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember, these people want MORE money to steal ideas. I say let them starve. This thread is a good idea. Though the shear amount of angst could destroy MW it's good to have it all in one place.

reddsun1 Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 (edited) Oh, for the love of God, NO!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xP1NVnLY_vU The original DTESS is a great movie, a classic of sci-fi, and a pretty strong critique [sci-Fi does tend to lend itself wonderfully as a vehicle for social commentary] of McCarthyism, Cold War paranoia, and of course, the proliferation of atomic/nuclear weapons and mankind's seeming determination to pitch itself headlong toward eventual self-destruction. These remakes are almost invariably soulless, unimaginative hack-jobs, completely lacking any of the individual touches that the majority of the originals' directors put into [be it the cinematography, underlying themes, or-what-have-you] their respective works, which is [usually] what made the movies great in the first place. I know it'll never happen, but I do so wish critics and moviegoers alike [i.e. through their spending power] would stop condoning this not so subtle lobotomy of the moviegoing experience. Someone ought to just sit up in the most public of forums and call these guys out, point blank: "You guys are a bunch of bums, you know that? Do you even study the source material before you go hacking it up and dumbing it down? You're like CliffsNotes for movies."

Not always...both the '70s and the '90s remakes of Invasion of the Body Snatchers had things to recommend them. I heard the latest one was awful, though.

Interesting... there's something in that YouTube trailer similar to something in Macross Frontier ep. 13, specifically at 1:22, an expanding force rips apart buildings and vehicles. "My name is Klaatu. Whoa." I agree with your views, but it ain't gonna happen. Money (and the chance to make more of it by exploiting a proven concept) rules. Now, the upcoming Highlander remake? Get out of my wallet, you Hollywood freaks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renkenjutsu Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I don't mind a Highlander remake though. But I think they could've easily came out with another Highlander movie without a Mac Leod for once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As stated many times on this board Highlander's one of those things that should never be remade. Though it was limited by budget everything came together perfectly.
