The official "Hey, Stout - it's another remake!" thread

[oaken1]

I didn't know it was happening but I hope it's more true to the cheesy movie than the actual book. I'm sure that's not an opinion shared by many but, even though I typically like Heilein, I was never that fond of the book.

The article I read said it's likely this particular director will follow the book closer instead of the movie,...
I never read the book either... even a new take on it has me interested.

Yeah I'm not surprised given how upset most ST book fans were of the movie when it came out.

As long as it stays brutal,....and they have an adequate replacement for Dina Meyer in the shower scene I'm in

I'm in favor of keeping the shower sequence and her sex scene later on that Ironside interrupts. And they also need to keep Dina's dying comment "but it's okay because I got to have you". They don't write stuff like that anymore. I don't know which one is cheesiest, that line or the Armageddon quote seemingly delivered without a breath "Colonel Willie Sharp, United States Air Force, ma'am, requesting permission to shake the hand of the daughter of the bravest man I've ever met". Oh how I miss the 90's.

That is the all time cheesiest, cringiest line in the history of film making.

Eh, let the "bookies" whine. Starship Troopers was an absolute hoot!

The early 2000's had some cringy stuff, too.

I pretty much have liked everything Benedict Cumberbatch has been in. I may have to give this a watch on streaming service level viewing.

I would rather see them bring back "I Am Not Okay With This". That show had potential IMO and based on Carrie.

Let's take something that's great in a 90 minute format, and STRETCH it out much much longer!

Yup. Also, we could stop at "Let's take something that's great..." and add on "Actually, no, let's not do that, that's really dumb."

One of the greatest movies of the 1980s is officially set for a remake by Zack Snyder.

According to THR, Snyder is remaking Escape From New York, the classic action sci-fi that originally starred Kurt Russell as the instantly iconic Snake Plissken.

The report claims Snyder intends to make a “more down and dirty movie, using plenty of practical effects or locations like he did when he remade Dawn of the Dead“.

Going to be hard to beat Kurt Russell's original acting. Also, I love me some John Carpenter.

 

[TRW]

Not hopeful for this. Depends on who they cast as Snake. Also, “more down and dirty” doesn’t sound like my cup of tea.
