Oh, boy.... :bluesad: Title: Re: Highlander Remake Post by: 3mnkids on October 10, 2009, 11:40:55 AM This proves that most in the film industry are brain dead. :lookingup:
Title: Re: Highlander Remake Post by: Javakoala on October 11, 2009, 12:42:57 PM Well, since I didn't find the original to be that grand...nah, these remakes need to stop.
Isn't there a thread in here somewhere in which people suggested films that could really benefit from remakes? Couldn't we revive that thread and send the new postings to Michael Bay each week or something? I mean, who wouldn't want to see Land That Time Forgot get an updating with Megan Fox and huge...explosions. Or perhaps Robot Monster done serious? I'd even be okay with a remake of Blood Mania, my all-time favorite crap movie. Personally, I'm waiting for someone to have the balls to announce a reboot/re-imaging/remake of Citizen Kane. That's when I go underground and Hollywood people start ending up sliced to death with 35mm stock. Title: Re: Highlander Remake Post by: paula on October 14, 2009, 05:49:13 AM are there any original ideas left in hollywood??? what? young writers today in H-land can only rehash movies that have been done before and reality (cough) shows?? talentless, seriously talentless.
I should go out there and write something, at least it would be original. Cheerleader rules the world, all the while having perfect hair using copius amounts of hairspray (but doesn't harm the environment), even through epic battles involving pom poms and skimpy skirts/unitards. Perfect hair during two sex scenes in third act.....see, in two seconds I came up with something original..... .......hollywood pansies now that's a blondervation! Title: Re: Highlander Remake Post by: meQal on October 14, 2009, 06:27:26 AM Honestly, I am not sure how to feel about this. The franchise has been filled with hits and disasters since it's debut. The original film was great but the sequel was horrible. Then the third film was OK only to years later have another disaster which really killed the franchise for me. Granted I always hated the attempts to marry the film and television series together. I felt the two could stand alone on their own. I see this as having potential for either a good film or a huge disaster in the making.
Title: Re: Highlander Remake Post by: trekgeezer on October 14, 2009, 10:48:55 AM I concur with MeQal on this one. I love the original movie and pretty much hate all the sequels. There is not continuity at all in the movies.
The series is quite alright, left to itself. They should never have tried to join the two and Christopher Lambert should never have appeared on the show. |
